GIT EXPLAINED IN ONE HOUR

In this live stream, "GIT EXPLAINED IN ONE HOUR" was supposed to be able to show people that I can inform them about what git is and how you can use it in a real-life website environment, that has a team of more than 1 person.

The video show how the project leader of a project can consult with their customer, who can then inform the lead developer of the project what the changes and requirements are for this project.
The lead developer then separates the tasks into sub-tasks and delegates them to his/her co-workers.

The video assumes that one of the co-workers is a junior developer and has been given the task of updating the website. The website in this example was a very simple, index.html with a CSS file and a few HTML elements. Nothing at all complicated.

The junior developer would then make changes to his/her code, and using git, would then use 'git add' and 'git commit' to version their code locally. Finally, once they are happy that the code can be reviewed by the lead developer, they push their code on a new branch to GitHub using git push.

The junior developer then logs into GitHub and creates a pull request for the lead developer to review.

The lead developer can then see the pull request or merge request on GitHub/GitLab and review the changes that the junior developer has made.

Once the lead developer is happy that the changes are what the customer wanted, then the lead developer merges the changes into the develop branch and then creates a merge request into a staging branch that the customer can then review.

Once the customer is happy that the changes are what they want, the lead developer would create a master branch, then merge the staging branch into the master branch.

It's important today to use Continous Deployment, therefore at this point, the lead developer would create a tag for the changes so that they can create a release. The release will contain an archive that can be used to deploy to the production server.

There is a lot more to git, but this looked at it in a very broad and realistic way.

I hope that this video about git has assisted you to understand what it is and how you use it.
