If you would like to attend the 7th Byte-sized RSE session on Intermediate/Advanced Git Version Control, please register here. The event will be hosted online via Zoom on Wednesday 10th May 2023, 13:00-14:30 BST/UTC+1. The Zoom link will be emailed to registered participants shortly before the session.
This session will look at more advanced uses of Git version control. If you're comfortable with the core features of using git - adding and committing files, interacting with remote repositories (cloning/pulling/pushing), dealing with basic conflicts, and you'd like to learn more, this session is for you!
We'll look at Git's Feature Branch Workflow as an effective way of collaborating and making contributions to code. We'll also look at rebasing, dealing with larger/more complicated pull requests with conflicts and cherry-picking. We'll also aim to look at some other more advanced features of Git and GitHub if time allows.
