Master git at last — a workshop from scratch

Basics

Git is today the most popular version control system in the world (with roughly 90% of the market) 📈. It's used to save, track, organize and — when needed — restore changes in the files of the projects we work on. Almost every one of us developers 👨💻👩💻 uses it every day. Commands like commit, status, push, pull or branch will stop being a mystery.

Comfortable with the command line? Know what git is and want to finally master it for everyday work or study? Come to this free from-scratch workshop, where you'll learn how to configure git and how to use its core features day to day.

Advanced

Already have a few months of experience with git? Use it daily and feel comfortable with it? Ever wondered what's inside the magic .git directory but were afraid to look in there in case you broke something? Bugged by the question of why git is so fast, and want to get to know its internal mechanics?

If these and more questions have been nagging you for a while, or you're simply curious about what happens inside git and can call yourself an advanced developer — this workshop is for you! During it we'll go through the following stages:

  • build the .git directory structure from scratch,
  • recreate a commit step by step — from a blob, through the tree structure, all the way to the commit object itself,
  • create branches and tags and understand why git makes this so fast,
  • learn how the Reflog works.

We'll do all of the above using a text editor and the command line, without a git client! With the knowledge gained during the workshop, solving even complicated situations in a repository will become much simpler for you!
