Introduction to Git with Scott Chacon of GitHub

[ryanthomaskendall]

Why is there not a simple video on what Git is, how to use it, why I would want to use it, and some examples? I don't care about databases or whatnot just cut to the chase!

this guy is an asshole! "If i dont deem your question worthy i will ignore it" lmao

[Nxqd3051990]

is there any tip about timing in giving a representation. I see you did it frequently in your talking :)

[ryangannon]

Really terrible delivery. It's not that he speaks quickly it's that he speaks as loudly as he can without shouting. He's clearly a programmer who can communicate programming concepts to other programmers but he shouldn't do talks.

[runescaperocx]

@ryangannon he also isn't even explaining what a 'branch' or a 'commit' is lmao!

how many Red Bulls did you have prior to this talk :P Great energy man and very informative. Thanks!

I can't get log subsets to work for local branches as shown in the talks though (~1:13:00)..

I've tried a lot of combinations, but the only one that seems to really work right now for me is the local-branch ^origin/branch.

Thanks for this video! Very well explained.

[ideamatt]

what is 'lol' a shortcut for?

@ideamatt oops: at 1:12:17: git config --global alias.lol "log --oneline --graph --decorate"
