Flux is incubating + the road ahead

Git is a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes in source code. It provides tools to commit changes locally, branch code for parallel development, and collaborate remotely by pushing and pulling changes from a shared repository. Common Git commands include init to create a repository, add and commit to save changes locally, checkout to switch branches, pull to retrieve remote changes, and push to upload local changes. Git helps developers work efficiently by enabling features like branching, undoing mistakes, and viewing the revision history.

He emphasized that the repository is the hub that connects development, testing, and deployment across teams and environments.

Git is a distributed revision control system that is widely used in the software development industry. The presentation was used in a lecture delivered in BITS-Pilani, India. The lecture served as a basic crash course on Git. First, it sets off with a guide to install and configure git on various platforms. Then, the basic working concepts of Git are explained. This is followed by a detailed step-by-step guided demonstration of a sample workflow in Git. Afterwards, Some auxillary commands that are frequently used are discussed briefly. Finally, basic concepts of branching and merging are detailed. The presentation ends with a few possible merge conflicts that occur in Git.

This document summarizes several common Git commands: - Git merge joins two or more development histories together in either a fast-forward or no fast-forward manner. - Git log displays commit history and allows formatting and filtering options like oneline, decorate, stats, diffs, shortlog, graph and custom formats. - Other commands covered include revert, checkout, reset, cherry-pick, rebase and filtering log output by amount, date, author, message, file, content and range.

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system initially designed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development. It allows multiple users to work together on projects simultaneously using the same files. Git provides benefits like enhanced collaboration and productivity, reduced errors, and traceability of changes. Key features of Git include branching, merging, and synchronizing with remote repositories. Common Git commands are used to initialize repositories, add/commit files, switch branches, clone repositories, and push/pull from remote servers.

Presented at Open Source 101 2022 Presented by Priyanka Ravi, Weaveworks Abstract: If you’re interested in learning more about Cloud Native Computing or are already in the Kubernetes community you may have heard the term GitOps. It’s become a bit of a buzzword, but it’s so much more! The benefits of GitOps are real - they bring you security, reliability, velocity and more! And the project that started it all was Flux - a CNCF Incubating project developed and later donated by Weaveworks (the GitOps company who coined the term). Pinky will share from personal experience why GitOps has been an essential part of achieving a best-in-class delivery and platform team. Pinky will give a brief overview of definitions, CNCF-based principles, and Flux's capabilities: multi-tenancy, multi-cluster, (multi-everything!), for apps and infra, and more. Pinky will cover a little of Flux's microservices architecture and how the various components deliver this robust, secure, and trusted open source solution. Through the components of the Flux project, users today are enjoying compatibility with Helm, Jenkins, Terraform, Prometheus, and more as well as with cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more.
