Jay recently posted this video to the openmelody mailing list. Jay is Melody’s Code Ranger and is responsible for wrangling all of the changes and contributions being made by the community. In addition to being a git expert, he is also our resident git evangelist and has donated a tremendous amount of his time to teaching us all how to use git in order to make our lives as developers easier. Everyone he has introduced git to has loved it, especially theme designers who have, until git, had no easy way to manage and collaborate upon building a web site with other designers and developers.
The video below caught my attention, not just because it provides a great technical background on git, but because it was given by Randall Schwartz — one of the most recognizable names in the Perl community because most of us learned Perl by reading his books.
