Distributed Version Control & Git [Part 2]

dvcs.png
In Part I of Distributed Version Control & Git, I showed you why you should switch to Distributed Version Control and explained part of what makes Git a compelling Distributed Version Control System. In Part 2 and the final part of this miniseries, I show you an overview of git and the basics and guide you through how you setup a git repository, doing commits, branches, merging, resolving merge conflicts with filemerge and show you the apps that come with git and GitX. I also want to draw your attention to the fact that there are some excellent & much more detailed git tutorial videos that go into much more detail at GitCasts Here are some more interesting resources GitX GitCast Videos Setup Initialization & Cloning Normal Workflow Interactive Adding Git Log Browsing Git Objects Branching & Merging Rebasing Distributed Workflow Empty Branches RailsConf Git Talk Git Submodules Git Diff

    For next time, try not to commit an Integer with a value of 3.1415 ;)
    Jokes aside, it's a really nice screen cast. It helped me getting started with GIT.

    Thanks for your work on this video.

    I began with Git and I must confess it is technically superior to other DCVS. But for now I'm certainly too used with other tools.

    For example, I'm not used with the staging area. I believe you most of time do a:
    $ git add -A
    $ git commit

    It is not a matter of time, but do you see an advantage of doing so.

    For example I'd prefer a command:

    $ git commit [files]

    which would be equivalent to:

    $ git add [files]
    $ git commit

    thanks again for you good job,
    Y.
