Advanced Git

The correct use of version control is an important success factor in professional software development. Today, Git is usually used for this. However, version control involves much more than just the structured management of changes to source code: Which development processes are suitable for the project and how can they be implemented?

In this training, you will learn how to use Git professionally. In addition to many best practices and solution blueprints for frequently recurring problems in everyday programming, I will show you how to plan and implement particularly efficient development processes with distributed version control.

• Semantic Commits: What makes a good commit
• What goes on under the hood during a merge?
• Strategies for avoiding merge hell
• Trunk-Based Development
• Feature and Release Branches
• How many repositories do we want to work in?
• Dependency Management and Version Control
• Archaeology and Troubleshooting: git-bisect and git-grep
• Analyses and Visualisations

This training is for developers who work with distributed version control and want to improve their development processes.

Prerequisite is practical experience with Git or another distributed version control system.

• Increase your team's productivity through better use of Git
• Plan and implement a development model that is right for your team
