Git is the distributed source control system used to manage the source of the Linux kernel, Perl, Gnome, Qt, Ruby on Rails and thousands of other important Open Source projects. Many of us are familiar with the basics of Git and may use it on a daily basis, but there are some interesting gems of functionality hidden in the depths of Git obscurity. This talk will shed some light on these tools for you. We will cover topics like bundles, rerere, tracking branch tips, replacements and grafting, branch management, debugging tools, little known configuration settings, new features and options in 1.7 and more. This presentation is not for the feint of Git-heart, but will mold the journeymen among you into true Git-fu masters.
