Git

In February 2011, Drupal.org switched to Git, a very cool system for Distributed Version Control. Git was originally written by Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, back in 2005. Now, over half a decade later, Git has grown to be the preferred SCM tool for a lot of Open Source projects.

In this session we will start with the basic Git usage. Then we'll study how Git stores all it's data to get a better understanding of the Git fundamentals. After that we will look into branching, merging and rebasing and a few more advanced things you can do with Git. Finally we'll see how you can use Git for your own development and to contribute to the Drupal project.
