- 2. Intro • Git is DRCS – Distributed Revision Control System • Git is fast • Created by the Linux team • This session will mostly focus on GitHub
- 3. Why Distributed? • Each clone is a repository, it contains all the code and version history • Repository is present in all clients when it is cloned, so server crash doesn’t affect much • Each client is a backup of the server’s repository, which also contains file version history
- 4. GUI vs CUI • GUI is simple with GitHub for Windows or • CUI is complex, like: $ git clone git://github.com/ashoka_rkt/dir
- 5. The Git & GitHub Jargon • pull • push • Git’s commit vs conventional check in • staged changes • clone • fork • pull request • pull vs pull-request • merge pull-request to main repo
