2. What is Git

3. What is Git
• Started in 2005
• Created by Linus Torvald to aid in Linux kernel
development

4. Distributed
source
control
• Every user has a full version of the code + all the history
Peer-to-peer approach
• A central server is only required when sharing changes
You don’t need to be connectedto the internet
Working copies function as remote backups
Faster because its local

5. Demo

6. Key
Concepts :
Snapshots
The way git keeps track of the
history
Essentially records what all your files
look like at a given point in time
Have the ability to go back and visit
any snapshot

7. Key Concepts:
Commit
The act of creating a
snapshot
A project is made up of a
bunch of commits
Contains 3 key pieces of
information
Information about how the
files changed
A reference to the commit
that came before it
A hash code name

8. Key Concepts:
Repositories
The act of copying a repo from a remote server is
called cloning
A collection of all the files and the history of those files
All your commits
Or a Repo for short

9. Remote
repository
• Not required. Just makes it easy
• This is where GitHub comes into the

13. GitHub workflow

14. GitHub workflow
1. Create a branch
• Branching is very different to for instance TFS => we are not creating a new directory
and copying code there
• Just a pointer => looks exactly like the masterversion

15. GitHub workflow
2. Commit
• Snapshot
• Make it small

16. GitHub workflow
3. Open a Pull Request
• Conversation about the code you checked in

17. GitHub workflow
4. Make more commits if necessary

18. GitHub workflow
5. (optional) Deploy from branch if you want to test it out
Or merge back to master

19. GitHub in the
browser

20. GitHub in Visual
Studio

21. Using GitHub
For your website

22. Webhooks
