Description:

In this webcast, Git evangelist Scott Chacon covers the basics of the Git source control system. He'll introduce the audience to Git basics: staging and committing snapshots, viewing the commit log, pushing to and pulling from servers, and creating, switching between, and merging branches.

Finally he'll quickly cover a few more advanced features - code annotation, advanced log options and possibly more, time permitting.
