The topic for the next Refactor Phoenix meeting, Wednesday May 28 is git.

Git is a distributed version control system (DVCS) with increasing popularity.

Along with Mercurial, Darcs, and Bazaar, DVCS’s are increasingly winning the hearts and minds of hackers everywhere. Austin Godber of JumpBox will give a presentation on the basics of git installation, local repository setup and basic usage. You’ll also learn how to publicly share, read only, a repo over HTTP to offer public, read-only access.

David and I will relate our experience with gitorious.org and its use for managing open-source projects.

Some worthwhile places to start learning about git and distributed version control systems:

• Distributed Version Control Systems: A Not-So-Quick Guide Through
• Intro to Distributed Version Control
• Git
• Mercurial
• Bazaar
• Darcs

Refactor Phoenix meets on the 4th Wednesday of each month, at Boulders on Broadway in Tempe. See the Web site for more details.
