Git Makes Sense… Until Other People Get Involved

Session Category Development & Performance Audience Intermediate

Git by yourself is easy: commit, push, done. But the moment a team joins the party, suddenly there are branches, pull requests, merge conflicts, and a complex workflow (that may or may not be documented). 

In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify how teams actually use Git. You’ll learn common branching strategies, follow an example workflow from task to deployment, and walk away ready to collaborate with confidence.
