Git for Fun - Git workflows for DevOps Teams

About the Presentation

Git has won the battle of version control systems and is widespread – not only in the open-source world. But many teams do not get the maximum productivity out of it, because they do not approach it with the right strategy.

The talk presents the best strategies for the entire git workflow – from branch and commit over review to merge. The talk helps you answer questions like: How do you find a branching workflow that fits your Team? How do you ensure consistent naming? How do you write meaningful commit messages? What’s the best merge strategy for your team? How do you optimise your review process with pull requests?

The version control system is the base for all development – so get the best out of it and get productive with your team
