Managing Branches with Git

by woody2shoes on October 28, 2010

I’m trying something new and using the YouTube player. Let me know if you see any differences.

In this video, I demonstrate how to create, merge, and delete local and remote branches in Git.

Git is a Source Control Management system written by Linus Torvalds for managing development on the Linux operating system.

    Eric-

    They extended it to 15 minutes, however, last month they upgraded my account to unlimited.

    I’ll probably be migrating more stuff over to them soon.

    this is nice and easy for anybody who is new to git. I agree with My18timesfukinmail that Vimeo might be better.

    • http://teachmetocode.com Charles Max Wood

      I’m trying to decide whether to keep the Vimeo or not. There are a lot of reasons to move everything over to YouTube.

      I like certain things about Vimeo, though, and I have other reasons for keeping them around.

    I so need to learn this.

    Have you considered using vidcaster for the video distribution?

    If you’re looking for new lesson topics, I have a few questions (don’t know if you’ve answered them already):
    -git on your local machine (w/o github)
    -git rebase
    -git stash

    When you do git reset HEAD and unstage, does that change the local files that you’ve been editing? Even if you hit Save in the text editor it “undoes” the changes? And if so can you do “Ctrl+Y”?

    Maybe you can tell that I need a screencast on “Where’s Ctrl+Z in Git?!” =)

    When you git branch -d sub_branch, is that getting rid of the pointer (in the terms of the Git for computer scientists tutorial from official git site) ?

    I notice you’re doing git push github, instead of git push origin. Is there a video where you describe how to set up the name for the remote repository?

    It’s “Linus Torvalds”, not Linux – just a typo if I’m not mistaken.

    • http://teachmetocode.com Charles Max Wood

      Yup, a typo. I have a lot more muscle memory for “Linux”. I used to type “Githumb” all the time because I didn’t have muscle memory for “hub”.
