Tomorrow at BAFUG (http://www.meetup.com/BAFUG-Bay-Area-FreeBSD-User-Group/events/144351492/) I will be doing a quick talk on git and then doing a breakaway session on managing large projects using git. > This week Alfred Perlstein will have a GIT talk for FreeBSD users, and > offer a 1-2 hour demo in a break awayfor people interested in doing a > hands-on GIT experience managing a large project. > > We will cover migration of your FreeBSD customizations based on one > version of FreeBSD to another FreeBSD version. Specifically, Alfred > will be doing a hands-on using "rebasing", to do this migration. > > To participate, all that needs to be done is to have run "git clone > https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd" beforehand (as this takes about 30 > minutes). > > In addition, a computer with wi-fi or some internet connection to > github.com is needed. > > As a prerequisite, it is expected that you have some understanding of > "patch(1)" and "diff(1)". > > There will be no recording allowed and the format will allow only for > short discussion and no derailing. Discussion of other SCM tools is > only appropriate in the context of understanding what we are doing in > git. Advocacy of other SCM tools will not be tolerated. If you can > not abide by these rules you will be asked to leave the session. > > The workshop will mostly focus on "git rebase" of a large project, however we may cover a few other areas depending on how much progress we make in the 1-2 hours we set aside. Again, if you want to participate, show up on time and make sure you have a git clone of freebsd already made! -Alfred -- Alfred Perlstein
