<p>Understanding ‘Version Control Systems’ in today’s day and age is important, specifically for programmers. It helps you backup, track and synchronise files. And if you want to share changes then even the basic knowledge of ‘Version Control’, can bring to you the best of both the worlds as it includes simple merging along with centralised releases.</p> <p>But the problem is that instead of using ‘Version Control System’ people either keep versioning their work in the form of directories with different name or use version control system in an inappropriate way. That’s not all, without using its power; they use it in a limited way which downplays the whole purpose of it.</p> <p>Therefore, it is essential to know and understand them right from the basics so that people will be able to use it wisely. To help you with the same is Akshay Mathur who will introduce you the world of understanding the new-age online systems so that you can use it in an efficient, cost effective and hassle free manner. What more do you need?</p> <p>To be a part of this workshop, you need have knowledge of computers and file management. Especially, it will be beneficial for software developers, technical writers or anyone who wants to keep version history of their work (files). Developers, who are already using systems like Concurrent Versions System (<span class="caps"><span class="caps">CVS</span></span>) or SubVersion (<span class="caps"><span class="caps">SVN</span></span>) and want to know about distributed system like <span class="caps"><span class="caps">GIT</span></span> can be a part of it.</p> <p>FAQs</p> <p>What will participants gain from this session?</p> <p>The aim of this workshop is to give an understanding of the working of ‘Version Control System’ and new-age online ‘Distributed Version Control Systems’ to make your work faster and effortless. The session comprises basic understanding of a ‘Version Control System’ which will cover the concepts of file based and repository based versioning along with basic operations of a ‘Version Control System’.</p> <p>Centralized Version control versus Distributed version control will also be discussed along with an explanation about the operations of a <span class="caps"><span class="caps">GIT</span></span> and the Distributed version control system. Few Dos and Don’ts will be explained too.</p>
