Premiered at GitKon 2021, this video takes an artistic look at various Git concepts.

By re-contextualizing the Git branching model in the classroom, educators, like presenter Roy Vanegas of the University of Hartford, can share examples and assignments in an easier manner, while also simplifying the assignment and submission process for students. In this GitKon Git conference session, you will hear about the pros and cons of using the Git branching model in the classroom.

Not every developer prefers the CLI. From devs to non-technical team members alike, a growing number of users—from beginners to advanced Git users—are choosing to use Git tools that enable better project visualization. With the proper workflow, visual Git tools can leverage the power of project history in Git far beyond version control. Monitoring projects and keeping teams in sync set the foundation for an efficient, integrated, and pleasant daily developer experience.

Are your Git repositories just a dumping ground for code? In this Git best practices session from the GitKon Git conference, we will look at Git branching strategies, the importance of a Git commit message, and how often you should commit, with Joe Glombek, Umbraco developer with Bump Digital. With 5 simple Git tips, you can turn a code dump into a glorious archive or software while saving time, frustration, and money.

How does Git work under the hood? Have you been using Git for a while, but feel you’re still missing a comprehensive understanding of how Git works? You’re not alone. Many people will try to explain Git with something like: “all of the data Git needs for a repository is stored within a folder called.git,” but that’s not the full story. In this session from the GitKon Git Conference, Corbin Crutchley, CTO at OceanBit, will go over in detail how the.git folder is able to track all of your changes in Git.

Git can be intimidating for non-developers, even though it’s in use by businesses and organizations across the world. In what other ways can we use Git to build and structure our lives? In this talk from the GitKon Git conference by Jessi Shakarian from DIA Design Guild, we will look at how you can use Git and GitKraken to brainstorm, draft, and edit parts of a book. Using Git for writers is just one example of how Git can be used beyond coding.

Video Description: Git Velocity is a set of Git metrics and data that can help you and your teammates work more effectively with Git and each other. The purpose of collecting and using these Git metrics is to ship quality code more frequently with fewer bugs.

Have you heard about Jamstack? If we consider the advantages of static web pages, we can create scalable websites with better performance and enhanced security, all at a lower cost. In this talk by Facundo Giuliani from Storyblok, you will learn how to maintain and deploy Jamstack websites, generate static assets on build time, use different data sources, like Headless CMS, and get builds triggered automatically whenever a change is introduced to your Git repository.

In April 2005, Linus Torvalds gave us 1,000 lines of C code sprinkled with TODOs and comments about design decisions. What was meant to be the basis of an “information manager” to help him develop the Linux kernel evolved into what we now know as Git. 15 years later, Git is the dominant version control system in use worldwide, and has spawned an entire ecosystem of Git software and tools.
