Building on the intro to version control systems in Emerging Tech Talk #24, in this episode Dan York describes how the Git distributed version control system is different from non-distributed version control systems such as CVS and SVN and then goes on to provide a very basic demonstration of using Git.

There’s obviously far more to using git than can be demonstrated in a short video here, so if you are interested in learning more there are many tutorials and other info available on the Git documentation page.

You can download or play the podcast here (in Quicktime):

PRODUCTION NOTES: Question for viewers:

• Is the screencast of the terminal shell readable when you viewed the video?

After watching this, I think I needed to zoom in more so that the text was larger. I’m not sure how this would actually look in an iPhone, for instance. (I will look soon.) Something to remember for next time. Anyway, any feedback on how good or poor the viewing was would be appreciated.

And yes, I know the transition from me speaking to the screencast was a bit harsh… still working through some nuances of my tool chain.
