For over three years our product development organization has been growing from about 8 developers to the 45 we have now. As a Microsoft oriented organization, the obvious choice has been Team Foundation Server because of it’s many integrated elements such as source control, build environment, work item tracking, dashboards and reporting. However, during the third year the number of concurrent releases increased significantly so we started to get faced with the limitations of its centralized source control. About 6 months ago, we decided to finally make the switch to Git, a well-known distributed source control approach very popular in the open-source community. Many of us were already active in open-source projects, but introducing git in a large group of people has been, let’s say, interesting. In this session, I’d like to share the approach we took, the challenges we had, and how we solved most of them. Of course I will share the fundamental concepts behind Git and explain you why Git is so much better than a centralized source control solution.
