Speaker(s):

You want to contribute code to Drupal. Great! But how? What's this Git thing people are talking about that you seem to need to know how to use? You just want to write Drupal code, dagnabbit!

Git is the version control system used on Drupal.org, and it is important to understand how to use it in order to contribute effectively. Fortunately, it's a pretty darned cool tool in its own right.

This session will cover the basics of understanding Git, and show attendees how to get setup to share code with the Drupal community on Drupal.org. It will not be an exhaustive study of Git, but should cover enough to get people started on the right foot and understand what git is doing under the hood.

For Mac users, this may have been the build of gitx used in the session: https://github.com/brotherbard/gitx/downloads

It offers a few additional nifty features compared with the current stable .7 from http://gitx.frim.nl/
