  1. Version control systems – Why? • Clutter free workspace (no

    numbered files) • Avoids duplication • Backup and restore • Synchronization • Undo • Track changes (with messages) • Track ownership • Merging and branching • Collaboration
  2. VCS – History (1) Gen. Networking Operations Concurrency Examples 1

    None One file at at time Locks SCCS, RCS 2 Centralized Multi-file Merge before commit Subversion, TFS, CVS 3 Distributed Change- sets/ snapshot Commit before merge Git, Bazaar, Mercurial http://ericsink.com/vcbe/html/history_of_version_control.html

  4. Git basics (2) • Local operations • Majority of operations

    are local - commit, log, branch... • Integrity • Impossible to change contents without Git knowing about it. • 40 char SHA-1 hash
  5. Git basics (3) • Stages • Committed • Staged •

  6. Terminology Commit (or check-in) The act of saving a working

    copy (a workfile or set of workfiles) to your repository.
  7. Terminology Branch A branch is a parallel version of a

    repository. http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/
  8. Terminology Clone A clone is a copy of a repository

    that lives on your computer instead of on a website's server.
  9. Terminology Fork A fork is a personal copy of another

    user's repository that lives on your account.
  10. Terminology Merge Merging takes the changes from one branch (in

    the same repository or from a fork), and applies them into another.
  11. Terminology Pull Request Pull requests are proposed changes to a

    repository submitted by a user and accepted or rejected by a repository's collaborators.
