Developers of a certain age remember life before Git. Some of us remember Subversion, some of us remember CVS, and a few wise old souls remember the days when version control meant remembering to write the date on the floppy disks.

For more than six years, the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team has strived to measure and understand how teams achieve “DevOps success”, and they found that four simple measurements can accurately separate elite performers from the rest of the pack.

DevOps concepts and CI/CD tools are gaining wider adoption as they help developers deliver code faster than ever before, but persistent struggles exist across the industry and prevent teams from achieving optimum velocity. Even though the vast majority of developers choose Git as their preferred version control platform, most don’t understand the critical role Git plays in the continuous delivery process, and how powerful it can be when combined with CI/CD tools.

A surprising number of development teams have failed to adopt automated deployment, oftentimes because people think their tech stack is either too simple or too complex.

These tools also provide a high level of visibility throughout the deployment process.

GitLens is a VS Code app used by over 10 million developers worldwide. In this session from the GitKon Git conference, GitLens Creator Eric Amodio gives an overview of why he built an app that supercharges the Git capabilities built into Visual Studio Code. Hear how Eric first encountered Git and how we came to leverage Git commit messages for a better development experience by exposing project histories directly in an IDE.

By re-contextualizing the Git branching model in the classroom, educators, like presenter Roy Vanegas of the University of Hartford, can share examples and assignments in an easier manner, while also simplifying the assignment and submission process for students. In this GitKon Git conference session, you will hear about the pros and cons of using the Git branching model in the classroom.
