CSCI 420

Git

I have no formal slides for git and just have this list of resources which are all pretty solid.

• How to teach Git ¹

  I found this resource particularly useful in "compartmentalizing" your code and understanding where it is vs where it isn't

• Git from the Bottom Up

  Terminology points and understanding how git works at a fundamental level. This will teach you the importance of NOT UPLOADING BINARY DATA to git :)

• Learn Git Branching

  You must do this. Pretty please.

• How to Write a Git Commit Message

  Or, how I learned to consisely write one-line messages that express:

  • What I did
  • What it fixes/resolves/introduced
  • How it changes the "system"
  • How it affects other issues/problems

• Git Immersion

  A more in-depth tutorial of version control with git
