Smacking Git Around - Advanced Git Tricks
This session will cover intermediate to advanced Git commands and usage that will save you time and money. You will not understand how you lived life with Git before knowing them.
We will go over things like revision selection, different subproject strategies (subtree merge, submodules and more), advanced rebasing, bisecting, interesting index operations, bundling, merge tools, stashing and branch filtering.
These 45 minutes of your life will save you thousands of hours over the next year alone, guaranteed.

Fantastic presentation, loved the pace… Learnt more in this presentation than most others combined.
That was a monstrous display of genius – may all presentations in the future be at 275mph like this – signal-to-noise was crazy high – loved. And thanks Gavin for capturing the video, I’ll spread the word once it’s up.
Great presentation. I recorded the audio and video from my Flip camera, but from a few rows back. I’ll upload it (bandwidth willing) to the railsconfcommunity.blip.tv site.
I’ll admit – a lot of this went over my head as a git newbie – but I wasn’t sorry I attended. I learned more about what is possible with git.
I loved the 60 second git overview – that was hilarious.
I really enjoyed the pace of the presentation – you got a ton of material in the talk in a limited amount of time.
Awesome presentation, Scott. A lot of really good information, subtle humor, and some incredibly useful tips. Nice job. :)
Slides and pace of Scott’s presentation were great. I will definitely be adding a few commands to my personal “list” after seeing some of his git tips.
