Hi all, I am giving another intro talk on Git, the scalable revision control system, for the local Ruby group. See below if you're interested in attending. -Bart ----- Forwarded message from Jay Lawrence <jay.lawrence-AT-infonium.ca> ----- Hi all, "Given that Git is quick becoming the de facto SCM for Ruby (and Rails and Merb and AJAX...) projects, I think it would be very useful and interesting to have a presentation/discussion dedicated to Git at an OttawaRuby meeting. Even if you don't use Git for your own projects, you will still have to use it to access many other Ruby resources." ... an earlier post from Ryan GIT is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system or SCM (source control management) system. The project was started by Linus to track development of the Linux kernel, and has been evolving since. This is an introduction to GIT. However, attendees are expected to have some knowledge of SCMs (like CVS or SVN). Also, some exposure to UNIX command line will be a plus. The Bart will cover centralized vs distributed SCMs, before proceeding to details of GIT. About the presenter: ================ Bart Trojanowski is a Linux kernel hacker, currently self employed working for clients seeking Linux development and consulting services (www.jukie.net). When not hacking Linux drivers and embedded systems, he enjoys playing with his two kids. See http://www.jukie.net/~bart/ for more info. Meeting Co-ords ============= 1066 Somerset St. W, Suite 303 Corner of Bayswater and Somerset The door should be hacked to be unlocked. If there is a problem please call Jay at 613-795-9169 About Git ======== Linus Torvalds -- creator of Git and the Linux kernel -- talks about Git at Google http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8 High level presentation, entertaining. Linus is quite a character. Scott Chacon's RailsConf 2008 talk about Git (free) http://www.gitcasts.com/posts/railsconf-git-talk There was so much demand for this talk he did an extra presentation at the conference. After the conference he talked over his slides and made this screencast. There's also a rough video from the conference but this is better. Git Internals PeepCode PDF by Scott Chacon ($9) https://peepcode.com/products/git-internals-pdf The content is similar to the RailsConf presentation screencast, explained in greater detail.
