Conference: Nov 13-15, 2017
Workshops: Nov 16-17, 2017
Workshop: Git Master Class by GitHub
Location:
- Seacliff CD
When:
- Friday
Prerequisites
Git is a powerful tool, but few people take advantage of all its capabilities, and much of its functionality can feel like an inscrutable black box.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll work through various Git commands and talk about more advanced workflow practices, including merge options, searching through commits, and rewriting repository history. We’ll talk about the contents of the .git folder, the data structures constructed from those files, and the abstractions Git applies on top of those data structures. We’ll utilize visualizations to watch what happens in the repository when you perform certain Git operations, with the goal of unraveling those abstractions and demystifying what Git’s actually doing under the hood. Finally, we’ll explore a variety of tools at your disposal that you can use when you get stuck; learn how to get back to a known good state and find lost commits with ease.
Key Takeaways:
- Learn Git commands to enable advanced patterns and workflows
- Learn how to rewrite Git history and when it’s appropriate to do so
- Demystify Git operations under the hood
- Learn to recover from confusing situations
