A work in progress git introduction. A lot of supplementary demos are done in terminal so this might not make much sense. Maybe I'll do a video version.
gitcHJUc noun Brit., informal an unpleasant or contemptible person. ORIGIN 1940s: variant of the noun get (see sense 3). What is git? git is also a version control system created by Linus Torvalds for developing the Linux Kernel. He once said that he sees “Subversion as being the most pointless project ever started.”
Why should I use git? • Git is fast: Almost everything git does, it does it local. • Git is small: SVN repos can be huge. • Git encourages good coding: local means quick, frequent commits, easy branching for features, etc. • Git is distributed: Everybody has their own copy of all the code. A server can be used, but is not necessary. • Git is popular. • Git is secure: Public encrypted keys instead of plaintext passwords See more: https://office.trapeze.com/wiki/developers/research/moving-to-git/ (on one slide)
• All clients keep a full copy of the repository and its history. • git only stores the differences between changes, not the whole tree at each change like svn
