This month we are covering:
Git Fundamentals: Building the Right Mental Model
Description:
This talk focuses on Git fundamentals, not as a list of commands, but as
a mental model for how Git actually represents and manages changes.
We’ll walk through the core building blocks: commits, trees, and
branches, and how they relate to everyday operations. The goal is to
make Git predictable: understanding what it’s doing, why it behaves the
way it does, and how to reason about it when things go wrong.
From there, we’ll connect those fundamentals to real-world workflows,
covering common pitfalls, recovery strategies, and how teams can use Git
effectively without creating unnecessary complexity.
Getting this right matters. Git sits at the center of modern development
and operations, and a weak mental model often leads to confusion, broken
workflows, and costly mistakes. This is about building a foundation that
makes everything else easier.
