Student Questions

Git for "my" Team


I have to take what I already know of github (a fair working knowledge plus today's course) back to a team of 4-5 devs (2 remote)
They don't know github
I have to convince them why they should bother learning github
Be able to teach them enough so that we can all use it to work on our source code.

Collaboration


The one question I know I'm going to get the most is if we all have our own cloned versions of a private github repo, how does one developer know what the other devs are working on?

Binaries


What are the best practices for handling that especially for binary files like Flash
FLAs?

Resetting


Can you reset an individual file?
  git checkout HEAD -- <FILENAMEORPATHNAME>
  git checkout -- pageuno.html
  git checkout HEAD -- pageuno.html
