Slides and Code from Dallas XAML GIT Workshop

For those who attended my GIT Workship last night at Dallas XAML, you can find the code and slides here: https://github.com/trayburn/Presentation-GitWorkshop I’ve fixed the problems with my demo scripts that create repositories, so you can clone that repository locally and execute : .\LocalDevelopment.ps1 For a basic repository example which you can use to practice roll-backs, etc. .\BranchingDemo.ps1 This will create three branches from master, which you can practice merging, and rebase’ing with. Thanks to those that attended, I hope you got something useful out of it.
