Subject: [GNHLUG] CentraLUG TOMORROW Monday, May 3rd, NHTI, 7 PM
From:    "Ted Roche"


The Central New Hampshire Linux User Group will meet at its usual place and time, NHTI Library, Room 146,
7 PM - 9 PM. Directions can be found at http://wiki.gnhlug.org/twiki2/bin/view/Www/NHTILibrary

In keeping with the tradition of 3-letter presentations (CSS, Vim, SQL, er, HTM), I'll talk abut Git [1],
the distributed version control system. Git was originally developed by Linus Torvalds for the Linux kernel [2]
and is licensed under GPL2. It's become popular in Rails development as well,
especially with the hosted site GitHub.com. Similar to Mercurial [3] or Bazaar [4],
Git is a DVCS [5] - a distributed (or Decentralized) version control system or revision control system.
DVCSes introduce an easier way to work on shared project. We'll talk about how DVCSes work
and Git in particular, look at some of the available references [6], handy cheatsheets [7],
and sites to host your DVCS [8].

As always, we'll have some time for introductions, job postings, folks looking for work,
questions and hopefully answers.

Hope to see you there.
