Git Merge 2022: Full Program Announced
Git Merge 2022 is set to take place in Chicago, Illinois on September 14-15. Organizers have now revealed the complete schedule, adding three workshops to a program that includes 17 talks, a panel, and hands-on sessions from GitHub’s Professional Services team. Tickets are priced at $125, with all proceeds going to the open source Git project.
Workshops on Day One
The first day opens with afternoon workshops focused on practical Git skills. Each session is built around exercises and real-world workflows.
Git it right! covers the fundamentals of common Git commands, with an emphasis on understanding repository history and state, as well as manipulating history. Exercises walk through the differences between git revert, git commit --amend, git reset, git cherry-pick, and git rebase, plus debugging with git bisect.
Simplify signing Git commits and tags with SSH keys introduces the OpenSSH-based signing feature as an alternative to GPG. Participants configure Git to sign objects with a generated SSH key and practice signing and verifying content.
Monorepo spring cleaning addresses the challenges of large-scale repositories. Exercises focus on searching and managing large binary files with standard Git tooling, and reducing repository size and improving performance through grafting.
Talks on Day Two
The second day features presentations and discussions with members of the Git team, as well as engineers from Google, Twitter, Uber, and GitHub. Sessions range from scaling and performance topics to deep dives into Git internals. The full schedule is available on the event page.
Tickets are available now on the Git Merge website.
