Most modern development workflows rely on version control, and most of those use Git. It's easy to follow a quick tutorial and learn a few basic commands--and you should, before listening to this episode--but how much do you know about Git's history, how it compares to other version control systems, or what's actually happening with branches and commits and merges and rebases?
Git enthusiast and expert Gemma Anible joins us this week to teach about some of the foundational basics of Git--not "git commit", but how it's actually architected--and then some common mistakes and pro tips.
