Edward Thomson: Git Internals

Details

Git has quickly become an incredibly popular version control system, but how does it actually work? It’s very different from a centralized version control system, and understanding how it models history allows you to better understand how to use it. In this presentation, you will learn more about how Git actually works “under the covers” and how a distributed version control system is both fast and flexible.
