From our Rails 101 Meetup today. We had an excellent discussion on Git - see my notes.

Loosely follows rails.44 lesson 13.

Has homework.

best,

Dave

Excellent Notes Dave!

One big idea I failed to mention is this:

A repository [a repo] is a tree of branches.

Each branch contains commits.

The commits are in the branches, not the repo.

Often I ignore the branches and use only the master-branch.

When I do that, I can pretend the commits are in the repo.

Much of git-knowledge is knowing how to copy commits from branch-A to branch-B.

If two branches are in the same repo, I copy commits using 'git merge'.

If two branches are in different repos, and have the same name, 'master' for example, I copy commits using 'git pull' [ or git push ].
