Git & Github eyewitness

The word "Git" among developers, as a rule, causes two diametrically opposite reactions. Alone with his sound, he begins to excitedly share stories and experiences. Another one - says that Git is a very dangerous and difficult to learn tool, around which an undeserved hype has recently risen. So who is right? The Git & Github meeting at the Kiev office of EPAM Systems was devoted to analyzing this issue.

On November 9, over 50 curious developers and some experienced Git users gathered in our cafeteria to work together to find the truth, which, as they say, is somewhere in the middle.

The speakers prepared thoroughly:
• illustrated with examples of “fusion magic” that Git is famous for;

• discussed the difficulties of working in large teams (the guru was made by an experienced developer with three years of experience using Git in a corporate environment);
