Dec 17: Peepcode's Git screencast moderated by Keith Bennett

Posted by Gray Herter Thu, 11 Dec 2008 23:05:00 GMT

The meeting will be held Wednesday, Dec 17th at the FGM headquarters (directions) from 6:30 PM to 9 PM. Pizza and soft drinks will be provided starting at 6:30. The presentation will start at 7 PM.

With the kind permission of Geoffrey Grosenbach, founder of Peepcode, Keith Bennett will be showing Peepcode's Git screencast. Here's some information from Wikipedia's article about Git:

Git is a free distributed revision control, or software source code management project with an emphasis on being fast. Git was initially created by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development.

Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server.

Several high-profile software projects now use Git for revision control[4], most notably the Linux kernel, Samba, X.org Server, Qt (toolkit), One Laptop per Child (OLPC) core development[5], Ruby on Rails web framework [6], VLC, Merb, Wine, SWI Prolog, DragonFly BSD and the Android mobile platform.

The screencast itself is an hour long, and we may interrupt it from time to time for questions, clarifications, etc.

    The date posted is incorrect. The correct date is Wednesday, December 17th. The time should be confirmed by Gray, but usually we meet from 6:30 to 9:00 PM. Also, pizza and soft drinks are usually provided starting at 6:30, and the presentation will start at 7 PM.
