Distributed Version Control Systems and Git
** Please note important information about: this meeting **
Source Code Management or Version Control is an important aspect of
software development. For over a decade, CVS, a centralized SCM, was
the dominant player in software to manage a project's code history and
handle concurrent development by multiple programmers. In the past few
years, new version control systems based on the idea of distributed
systems.
This presentation will explain basic concepts in source code
management, review the history and overall themes of centralized
systems such as CVS and Subversion, and also introduce distributed
SCMs and their benefits over the older systems. Git is used as a
concrete example of a distributed SCM and a brief introduction to Git
features not present in most SCMs will also be featured.
