Git and GitHub Workflows at the Utah JUG

Git and GitHub Workflows at the Utah JUG

The Git version control system and GitHub collaboration platform offer a myriad of innovative and classic development workflow options. The wide range of opinions about these on the Internet can make it challenging to nimbly make wise Git workflow decisions for your team's next project.

In this presentation, Matthew will provide a tour of successful workflow patterns harvested from 7 years of studying and working with open source projects, small and large scale businesses, and governmental agencies employing everything from waterfall to fully agile processes. Flows will feature live demonstrations of the supporting Git and GitHub commands.

A little guidance can go a long way in helping you navigate the new world of distributed version control, and this talk will help you make informed choices of the Git features you'll use, the branching patterns you'll leverage, and the way you will integrate your chosen pattern with your team's development practices.

This presentation was given to the Utah Java Users Group on August 21st, 2014.

  3. Time release branches master develop hotfixes feature branches Feature for

    future release Major feature for next release Severe bug fixed for production: hotfix 0.2 Tag 0.1 Tag 0.2 Incorporate bugfix in develop
  4. Tag 1.0 From this point on, “next release” means the

    release after 1.0 Bugfixes from rel. branch may be continuously merged back into develop Only bugfixes! 1.0
  5. $ git rebase master $ git rebase -i <SHA> $

    git rebase --autosquash -i <SHA> ➍
  6. $ git bisect start $ git bisect good $ git

    bisect bad $ git bisect run $ git bisect log ➍
