Today is JUG day.

The JUG did a Git talk.

Kyle Cordes gave the talk.

Kyle gave the talk without PowerPoint.

Kyle demoes Git on Windows.

A Gtk+ GUI Git tool did Kyle use on Windows.

The tool showed trees of his projects: branches and merges and stashes

Git is fast, said Kyle.

Git is the distributed version control tool to choose nowadays, said Kyle.

$ git init
Blah Blah Blah
$ git add .
Blah Blah Blah
$ git commit
Vi opened up for commit comments

GitHub is a host of Git stuff, free for open source, pay for non-open source.

No Eclipse plugin yet. Have to press F5.

Git can detect file movements within the workspace, based on similarity.

Git does not do expanded keywords.

Kyle brought a little thumb drive that contained the Linux kernel repository.

The actual repo is in three files, the largest is about 200MB.

The whole Git workspace (with the repo) is usually smaller than the Subversion workspace (with only the latest version).

We had a reasonable crowd. Many questions, many answers.

We had extraordinary giveaways.

Many people went home with prizes. Mine is Oracle VM and Oracle Linux! Mark won the new Ruby IDE from JetBrains.

Watch this space (and that space) for the presentation material (a one page PDF, which just shows you that you need to come.)

CodeToJoy didn't make it here today, but he really wanted to get people's opinions about OCItv.
