Do your users already know how to use Git? Of course they do. Git offers a great workflow, but scalability is a concern. In this talk explore benchmarks comparing the performance of Git and Helix DVCS. See how to use command aliases in Helix Versioning Engine 2016.1 to make Helix look like Git. What could be better than a version control system that works just like Git but doesn't buckle under the weight of your massive assets?

Git Everyday
The git docs have a chapter called Everyday
Commands that a typical dev needs daily
Can Helix DVCS support git everyday?
Can a git dev use Helix without reading docs?
Why? Because Helix is super scalable. Git is not.
