There has been a murder!
(Or whatever the code version of a murder is… like breaking unit tests, a bug maybe?
In this session, lets learn how to become a professional and revered investiGITor, who will be able to solve any version control offence with the ease and panache of a seasoned detective!
Version control software is often a mysterious black-box that we HAVE TO interact with in order to successfully collaborate with others. But what if it doesn’t need to be a confusing & complicated enigma?
We will learn to probe into the dark recesses of Git and understand its inner workings by learning how to carry out many tasks that we will undoubtedly need to perform at some point in our careers.
For example:
Ever needed to safely remove a secret that you accidentally stored in the repository?
Ever had your app break, not know why, and then needed to quickly hunt down the exact commit where a bug was introduced?
Ever needed to travel back in time, through history, to stop a crime before it even happens…(sort of)?
…All these things and a bunch more useful & interesting, lesser-known ways to become a masterful git detective and truly understand the most important tool in a developer’s arsenal.
So come have a little fun with me in this talk, bring the bugs to justice, solve the case of the naughty commit & become a hero by defending the integrity of your codebase!
