Description:

As more time passes, people are starting to realize that Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS) are not a fad and are not going to fade into obscurity. Instead they offer incredible freedom and flexibility, and because of that, they are seeing more adoption every day. In this presentation, I will explain the differences -- both technical and mental -- between Centralized VCS and DVCS, and demo Git, one of the more popular DVCS implementations that exists today. Git is fast, friendly, and feature-rich, but if you've been using SVN or CVS for very long it can be a significant shift in thought. Once you go Git, you'll never want to go back. And the awesome part is that you don't have to: Git can be your new SVN client!
