O'Reilly Webcast: Git in One Hour

In this webcast, Git evangelist Scott Chacon covers the basics of the Git source control system. He'll introduce the audience to Git basics: staging and committing snapshots, viewing the commit log, pushing to and pulling from servers, and creating, switching between, and merging branches.

Finally he'll quickly cover a few more advanced features - code annotation, advanced log options and possibly more, time permitting.

Have no idea why O'Reilly always ends up with such horrible sound. Surely they don't monitor user comments.

[luckiestmonkey]

The audio on a number of the O'Reilly Webcast have the same poor sound quality.

@geminiwing It's a webcast, so the audio is compressed for mass distribution

@kendrefor Depends on the editor. Assuming that it is Vim, you press ':' and then 'x'.

They've got the best guy to explain GIT but they didn't care at all about the production quality of the video... what a shame.

[shoseki]

Wow. Talented guy, unlistenable audio.

When not using 'git commit -m "my message", it brings up a basic text editor so I can type my commit message. How do I leave this screen?

@MrLovetech To bad their webpage is so horribly ugly with a design that is so dated it instantly feels like a spam/filler webpage.

I'm listening to this on my newly purchased studio monitors. Oreilly please get a condenser mic for your screen casts so I won't feel I have wasted $2.500 on new monitors :-)

I think it's WebEx causing the issue, I have had the same problem in other webinars, just switch to gotomeeting or something!

[jfong23]

Excellent tutorial, the sound is better if you turn it louder (I think it's the software rather than his mic). Thanks Scott!
