Terrible Ideas in Git

SeaGL 2015

Adapted from his class “The Screaming Horrors of Git,” Corey takes us on a magical tour through the (mis)use of Git to do things its creators never intended. In this humorously delivered exploration of one of the open source community’s more ubiquitous tools, Corey demonstrates that a finely crafted wrench makes a barely acceptable hammer if you hold it wrong.
