[Haifux] [HAIFUX LECTURE] Git for solo projects too by Eli Billauer

[Eli Billauer]

On Monday, July 23rd at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by Eli 
Billauer:


    Git for solo projects too

Abstract

Git is well-known as the tool for collaborating in free software 
projects, and the Linux kernel in particular. What seems to be less 
known, is how useful it is even in a single developer scenario.

This is a slideless, demonstration-based talk, walking through the 
practical work with Git as a most valuable tool for keeping a solo 
project under control, and helping in real-life situations. A simple 
programming project will be started and manipulated, showing useful 
techniques.

The basic use of git will be demonstrated and explained in the talk's 
first half, showing how to create a git repository, making commits, 
fixing the last commit, and how git is useful to keep the project clean 
and tidy.

In the second half, some deeper understanding about how git works will 
be gained. Based upon this, sophisticated manipulations will be 
explained, including how to modify or eliminate changes made in the 
past, and alter the commit history to make a clueless debugging session 
look as if you had it all figured out from the start.

If time allows, the talk will close with showing how git can be used to 
efficiently back up the project.

Above all, it will be shown how to avoid losing a good snapshot of the 
project, no matter what you failed to do with git.

No previous knowledge in Git (or whatsoever) is assumed, but Git-savvy 
participants are also welcomed to share their experience.
