Here's some information from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)">Wikipedia's article about Git</a>: <p> 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. <p> 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. <p> 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. <p> The screencast itself is an hour long, and we may interrupt it from time to time for questions, clarifications, etc. <p><b>Location:</b> <br>FGM, Inc. <br>12021 Sunset Hills Road <br>Suite 400 <br>Reston, VA 20190 <p>Ph.: Call 703-728-5012 (Xandy) or 703-727-1307 (Gray) and someone will let you in to the building Thu, 11 Dec 2008 18:05:00 -0500 urn:uuid:9c2ba41f-180c-40a5-9d34-d03579dc61e1 Gray Herter http://www.novarug.org/articles/2008/12/11/peepcodes-git-screencast-moderated-by-keith-bennett The date posted is incorrect.
