4. Previously on Free Fridays...

5. How can we work more effectively in a team?

6. Introducing Branching have multiple versions of the same project work

   async & simultaneously safer & more clean way to do things very “cheap” branches

7. Git This is where the Git magic is happening!

8. creating a branch $ git branch <new-branch-name> # Creates a

   new branch $ git checkout <new-branch-name> # Switch to new branch $ git branch # Check your local branches

9. creating a branch #2 # Creates a new branch and

   switches to it immediately $ git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

10. Now, you can code as hard as you can!

11. Cool story, bro! But, how can we move our code

    to our main branch and continue with our lives?

12. Merging Merge two branches Keep the chances you want to

    keep You’re in control It’s easier in Git than in other VCS

13. merging a local branch $ git checkout <dest-branch> # Switch

    to destination $ git merge <branch-name> # Merge the specified branch $ git log # Check if everything is fine

14. Once you’ve finished... You should do some housekeeping!

15. deleting a branch # Deletes branch, but keeps commits $

    git branch -d <branch-name> # Force deletes everything, both branch and its commits $ git branch -D <branch-name> # USE WISELY!!

16. The Github way How Github handles branches & merging

17. Branches on Github Nothing special here Push your branches on

    Github Has some awesome tools for branches

18. pushing to Github # Push branch on Github $ git

    push origin <branch-name>

19. Pull Requests A nice, Web 2.0 way to handle merges,

    branch and working in a team

20. Pull requests Promoting collaboration Encouraging open source contributions (fork) Discussing

    features & changes on the go Merge without hassle and delete the branch

21. The real power is in the details! Let’s see...

22. Pull requests: reloaded Discussion for almost everything Can be created

    before coding starts You have a timeline history of commits Forum-like functionality lots of integrations and extra tools

23. Extra tig (apt-get install tig, brew install tig) Github Help

    Git basics presentation Git documentation

24. And, as always, practice, practice, PRACTICE!
