Fast Track to Git
Event Info
Description
Git is the de-facto standard for proper version control. It enables highly productive distributed workflows without a single point of failure – without getting in your way. However, it does require a bit of a mind-shift for those used to other tools like SVN, TFS, etc. While getting started requires knowledge about a few commands, mastery over just a few more can help you harness a lot more of Git’s features. And this is what you will be doing in this course.
Together, we will look at what makes Git tick – but instead of dwelling on lots of theoretical material, you will quickly dive into practical work that will be beneficial in day to day activities. By the end of this course, you should be comfortable in using even the more complicated features of Git by having applied them in real world scenarios.
Each topic will be covered by hands on walk-throughs. On the second day, you will also go through a series of general day to day tasks to ensure that you get comfortable with using Git.
LEARN HOW TO:
- install, configure and maintain Git
- apply Git in real world scenario's
- master the more complicated features of Git
- maximise the benefits that Git can bring to your project.
PROGRAMME Through exercises based on real world scenario's, this Git course covers the following topics: Git theory Installing Git and setting up an environment Configuration Repositories Commits Viewing change sets Branching and merging Going back and fixing mistakes Stashing Rebasing Cherry picking Tags Alias Remotes Using a server like Github / Bitbucket / Codeplex Bisect Rerere Blame Patches Day to day workflows Using in Continuous Integration like TeamCity
