PyData "Software Development Core Skills" sessions are aimed at helping non-software programmers shore up core skills around critical areas in the software development process. Are you under such time-pressure to deliver that you can't take the time to learn all of your tools in depth? This session will cover the internals of git to give you a fundamental understanding of the tool.

$ cp repo/file.py /tmp $ rm repo -rf $ git clone http://github.com/user/repo repo $ cp /tmp/file.py repo
Yeah, ok, we can do better.
