Git 101 Tutorial
Location: Portland 255
In this tutorial you will learn how to use Git from the ground up. We will start at the beginning, what Git is and why it’s different than Subversion or Perforce or any tool you’re using now.
We will teach basic Git workflows, how to use branches and why they will change your development life, how to setup and work with remote repositories, how to use Git to collaborate with others non-linearly, how to maintain a project by picking commits and merging branches, and how to contribute to a project by creating patches, squashing and splitting commits and creating and pushing topic branches.
By the end of the tutorial, you should be able to use Git effectively as a developer, and have a solid understanding of why and how it works.

Scott knows his stuff. Quick, clear overview of git. Probably a bit quick for someone who’s never used it. Since a network was available it’d have been nice to do some hands on.
The instructor obviously knew his stuff, but man was it presented to quickly. While I picked up some things, most of it went by in a blur.
Well presented, with impressive depth and breadth of coverage.
Material was very well presented, but much too in depth for a 101 level class.
