Git to empower your instinctive skills and your collaboration culture

Although nowadays we need to use git to manage the version control in our code projects, we forget git is more than a tool to upload and share our code. During my journey as a developer I’ve seen how software projects evolve and grow in many ways: more code, more features, more people, more business rules, more complexity than any software project. I´d like to share my experience as a joiner in new projects who have to deal with this complexity for the beginning.

If you only use git to commit your changes and allow it to integrate, you´re probably losing the opportunity to take advantage of all the things that you can do with git. When I used to teach git to young developers I say git is more than six commands, because it's about how you and your team are building software. So using git you´re able to discover all the collaborative dynamics in your current project.

During this talk I’ll share how you can use git as the magnifier to learn not just about code, to learn about how your team is collaborating together, how to reconstruct parts of your project, understand how your team is building features, how git could gives you the answer to many questions for your team, I’ll share how it’s a powerful tool for new joiners, and how git could become you to a better team player.
