Abstract

Master what is sometimes called Git’s killer feature: distributed branching. This is a complex topic that sometimes trips up even seasoned users, so it is covered carefully at a steady pace. The specific practical topics covered are: creating branches, merging branches, and using remote branches. The principles are explained and the features are demonstrated using video examples (command-line and GUI versions presented in split screen). As well as these practical issues, the final segments present some additional tips and advice. For one, typical strategies and workflows are explained that you may wish to apply in your own development projects. For another, a summary of more advanced features points the way to learning opportunities for you once you have mastered the intermediate skills from this video. Finally, a short discussion of GitHub introduces you to the basic features and the potential of the world’s most popular Git hosting community. The tools for carrying out tasks in Git are demonstrated step-by-step, allowing you to see exactly how they should be carried out in real-time. Also, Git is powerful but can be a complicated system to use. For explaining the complex issues, particularly around repository history, a visual representation is developed. What You Will Learn Discover the principles of distributed branching Create and merge branches Resolve conflicts between branches Create a clean, linear history via rebasing Examine typical strategies and workflows used by experienced Git users Take a brief tour of GitHub Who This Video Is For Software developers with at least basic programming skills and a small amount of experience. They may possibly have worked with other, centralized version control systems.
