The full lineup for Git Merge 2022 revealed

We are excited to announce the full lineup for Git Merge 2022 happening in Chicago, Illinois September 14-15 with the addition of three new workshops.

Tickets are available for purchase on the website.

With 17 talks, three workshops, one panel, and some great company we think this year’s Git Merge will be terrific! Tickets are available for $125 and all proceeds will be donated to the open source Git project.

Here’s what to expect on days one and two plus an overview of the (optional) workshops:

Day 1 Workshops

Day 1 will kick off in the afternoon with a number of workshops from GitHub’s Professional Services team.
