Dundee PHP Meetup - November
Event Information
Description
This month we're back in our new venue and although we don't have an in person speaker, we'll be watch a video premiere of a conference talk!
We'll be watching the highly rated Git Legit talk from Pauline Vos (@vanamerongen):
Many Git users tend to use Git as a save point, like in a video game; chronologically making checkpoint commits as they go. This spreads out changes to the same areas in the code over several commits, necessitates merging and resolving conflicts, and generally just making an incomprehensible jumble of your history. This talk makes a case for atomic commits and how to use them while only minimally affecting your workflow.
You’ll learn how to properly interactively rebase, fix up, reset, bisect, and more. By the end of the talk, you’ll have seen how this Git flow will make your life easier and how it will affect your ability to cherry pick, drop unwanted commits, and most importantly: not spend hours resolving conflicts in rebase hell. A little change in habits can go a very long way!
Free food and drinks will once again provided by Solarwinds MSP.
The venue this month is the Wittin office, located on the top floor of the Chambers Building (above Brewdog) on Tuesday the 27th of November.
Doors open at 6:30pm with food arriving shortly before the 7pm start.
Come along and meet and network with fellow developers from Dundee's PHP community!
