The worst thing that could happen when you have ‘hands on’ presentation

I love ‘hands on’ presentation they are so awesome and give so damn god impression. I’ve decided to prepare such presentation on Warsjawa 2010. Now I know how much self control and cold blood is needed to give such presentation.

Before Warsjawa conference I’ve prepared a list of features that I would like to show, I even write down list of steps that I should follow during presentation. All demos was two or three times repeated and trained … it looks like nothing bad could happen … ‘but’, yes there always is this short lite word ‘but’.

Presentation starts smoothly and with every minute I been more self confident … until 15th or 20th minute when I was smashed out, just blow away. I was showing merge support and it appears that during three-way merge one of line in example file were deleted. Actually it should be marked as conflicting because I’ve made a small mistake any way this shouldn’t be that way. I was there sitting in front of 50 100 or more persons with a nearly discovered bug in core merge functionality … this is a situation that nobody would like to face it. I can’t just go away, that wasn’t a solution … Actually I stay there and even manage to finish presentation and show History and Repositories view, tagging, resetting  and even some other stuff like gerrit and it integration with hudson.

I’ve already create a ticket for this bug in bugzilla and I hope that during next presentation in Szczecin such problems did not occur …

EGit and friends @ Warsjawa 2010

This is a next opportunity for all persons that understood polish 😉 to hear a little bit about EGit and git-connected-software. This time I’ll be speaking at Warsjawa conference, more information about it can be found at warsjawa.pl.

Because of time limitation I’ll only cover EGit and connected software like  gerrit, I’ll skip the git introduction part, but will try to give some quick overview about it during presentation. I think that this is a good opportunity to get familiar with some ideas of distributed version control systems.

EGit ChangeSet shows staged and working tree changes

Actually this is quite old feature because it is available in nightly builds since two or more weeks. But I think that is worth mention, because it give a possibility to review current index and working tree status at the same time.

Staged and working tree changes in Synchronize view
To activate this feature simply mark “Include local uncommited changes in comparison” in synchronize dialog and all staged and changed files will be shown in Synchronize view.

EGit @ JUG Szczecin

On 28th of October I’ll be giving presentation about EGit 0.10 0.9 (and Git in general) on Szczecin JUG meeting. The official announcement can be found on Szczecin’s JUG mailing list (it’s in polish).

This would be my second presentation (first one was at Poznań Eclipse DemoCamp) and it will be quite similar to first one, since they all covers the same topic ;). Of course it will cover new features of 0.10 0.9 release.

So if you would be near by and would like to hear about EGit in polish feel free to join us 😉

Merge support in JGit/EGit 0.9

According to this post of Christian Halstrick and those two commits: 1 2. The upcoming version of JGit and EGit would have merge support! The previous stable version (0.8) had only support for fast-forward merge; all non fast-forward merges must be done using CGit, now all kinds of merge can be done using EGit UI.

The 0.9 version would have more cool features eg. History view improvements, branch and tag dialog improvements and (of course) support for Synchronize view. Say tuned for a full list of new and noteworthy that will be published in upcoming days.
