Abstract

Git has been a staple of software development for years. Allowing both individuals and teams to manage their source code with ease (especially thanks to Git platforms like GitHub or BitBucket). However, working on the same code base in a team can be a challenge and while Git and Git platforms provide means to facilitate such teamwork (branches, pull/merge requests), finding the right workflow for such a team may not be an easy task.

The previous session discussed general best practices of using Git, branches and pull requests when developing a project. In this session, we will take a look at some specific use cases and problems a team might encounter.
