Topic: Git advanced usage
Speaker: Michael Panzlaff, NHR@FAU
Abstract: Git has become the de facto standard tool for distributed version control. Not without reason: Most of its fundamental functions are easy to learn and platforms like GitHub make your project quickly accessible to the public. However, Git is much more capable than you might realize. Therefore in this HPC Cafe I will try to go into basic quality-of-life tips, how (and why) to keep a clean history (“rebase”), and how to apply it when contributing to either your own or other people’s projects.
