New page

* messiest git situation and how it was solved
** a while ago: project with sub modules 4 levels deep, not well supported at the time

* when to use git submodules?
** e.g. when depending on third party dependency code (googletest, zlib, ...)
** when 2 products use the same public interface - extract it into a submodule
** a submodule stores url, path, sha1 -> saves time when re-building

* git now supports sparse (partial) checkouts, filtered clone, large file storage (LFS)
** LFS helps where large binary files change a lot, "plain" git is already great for big files that don't change

* how to migrate from subversion to git when lots of deployment
** git tags?
** git describe relative to a tag - soft indicator of where in timeline you are
** timestamp of commit? - hard to get back to a specific commit from a given timestamp
** (not a sales pitch) consider getting external help, eficode has experience in this area

* pros and cons of monorepos
** split or not based on behaviour / branching strategy / verification
** is it good enough for what I need to do right now?

* cool git tricks that might be useful for the average user
** git diff filters to quickly see changes to checked in xls/zip/images... files (.gitattributes + .gitconfig section diff)
** git smudge filters, e.g. for dynamically changing line breaks to unix/windows, encrypting/decrypting sensitive data (also used for LFS)
