Nearly all Drupal developers use git to track changes to their code, but how does git actually work? In this session, we will take a peek under the hood at what git does when you run various commands. Starting with git init and working through git add, we will explore how versions of code are tracked throughout your project. We will also review merging and rebasing branches, as well as the conflicts that arise when we do so.

To get the most out of this session, attendees should have prior git use.
