Slides

Description

This session aims at consolidate your knowledge about GIT, introducing good practices and collaborative features [1]. I'll focus on branches usage and the feature branch workflow. I will also present additional handy commands, and features from online platforms such as github.

The session is hands-on the keyboard, so you test new concepts as they are illustrated and strengthen your muscle memory.

To attend, you'll need to be familiar with basic shell commands (ls, cd...) and git commands (clone, add, commit, pull, push).

[1]: "collaborative" means with other people and also with future yourself ;-)
