This talk introduces the Git Version Control System by looking at what Git is doing when you run the commands you need to do basic version control with it. We'll look at how to use Git to do the basics, while seeing how it differs from Subversion, what staging and committing actually looks like, how it stores it's data, how it branches and merges so nicely and how it talks to a server when pushing and fetching. Then we'll look at how to look at your history with log in interesting ways. This should help Git newbies get acquainted with the popular VCS and other Git users get a glimpse of what's happening under the hood.

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

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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.
