Git is by far the most popular version control system used by developers today. However, some aspects of Git can be hard to grasp as a new developer. This talk is aimed at Git users and developers who would like to understand how Git works on a conceptual level, so they can use Git to its full potential without fear. Topics covered in this talk are:
* A high level view of how Git’s storage works
* What is a branch
* Git merge and Git rebase - and when to use (and not use) them
* Git Vs. repository management services like Gitlab and Github

This talk was given at Linux.conf.au 2018 (LCA2018) which was held on 22-26 January 2018 in Sydney Australia.

linux.conf.au is a conference about the Linux operating system, and all aspects of the thriving ecosystem of Free and Open Source Software that has grown up around it. Run since 1999, in a different Australian or New Zealand city each year, by a team of local volunteers, LCA invites more than 500 people to learn from the people who shape the future of Open Source.
