Git is a distributed version control system developed by Linus Torvalds. Distributed means no central server, everyone involved in a project has their own copy of the *complete* repository - all the files, all the history. Git also makes it very easy to create branches and merge the branches back into the main trunk.
This talk will introduce you to Git and show you what you need to do to enable Git to work over the wire and how your team can synchronise their repositories with each other.
Speaker: Barry Carr
Barry Carr has been developing software for since 1987. He taught himself to program using a BBC micro equipped with the Acorn Pascal ROMS and a copy of Findlay and Watts' Pascal: An Introduction to Methodical Programming, sadly, now out of print. Barry's first professional coding job was using a 4GL called Dataflex on ICL Quattros (yes, it was as bad as it sounds). From here, Barry went on to write software for some of the UK best known companies in a wide range of business sectors, including: Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Oil and Gas, Banking, Accounting, Legal Accounting, Public Sector and currently for the Mining and Geology sector. Barry has also developed and sold his own software components to other software developers. Always keen to keep his skills current, Barry devotes a lot of his personal time to technical development as well as keeping abreast of the current trends in the world of software development. Barry is also active in the software development community and has had several of his articles and book reviews published on the web and one article published in print. Barry was also one of the founding members of Scottish Developers. He is also one of the founder members of Northeast of Scotland .NET user group. When he isn't coding, Barry likes to spend his time with photography, reading, unashamedly listening to progressive rock, jazz and early music (especially whilst coding).
