git session at BAFUG tomorrow (San Francisco Bay Area FreeBSD User Group).

[Alfred Perlstein]

I've been doing a few one-on-one sessions at iXsystems explaining the 
git model to developers and have had much success.

Tomorrow at BAFUG 
(http://www.meetup.com/BAFUG-Bay-Area-FreeBSD-User-Group/events/144351492/) 
I will be doing a quick talk on git and then doing a breakaway session 
on managing large projects using git.


> This week Alfred Perlstein will have a GIT talk for FreeBSD users, and 
> offer a 1-2 hour demo in a break awayfor people interested in doing a 
> hands-on GIT experience managing a large project.
>
> We will cover migration of your FreeBSD customizations based on one 
> version of FreeBSD to another FreeBSD version. Specifically, Alfred 
> will be doing a hands-on using "rebasing", to do this migration.
>
> To participate, all that needs to be done is to have run "git clone 
> https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd" beforehand (as this takes about 30 
> minutes).
>
> In addition, a computer with wi-fi or some internet connection to 
> github.com <http://github.com/> is needed.
>
> As a prerequisite, it is expected that you have some understanding of

The workshop will mostly focus on "git rebase" of a large project, 
however we may cover a few other areas depending on how much progress we 
make in the 1-2 hours we set aside.

Again, if you want to participate, show up on time and make sure you 
have a git clone of freebsd already made!
