At $dayjob I've been asked to run a few training sessions in house. The initial audience is SW developers so they are fairly clued up on VCS concepts and most have some experience (although some not positive) with git. Eventually this may also include some QA folks who are writing/maintaining test suites who might be less clued up on VCSes in general. I know if I googled for git tutorials I'll find a bunch and I can probably write a few myself but does anyone have any advice from training sessions they've run about how best to present the subject matter. Particularly to a fairly savy audience who may have developed some bad habits. My plan was to try and have a few PCs/laptops handy and try to make it a little interactive. Also if anyone has any presentations I could use under a CC-BY-SA (or other liberal license) as a basis for any material I produce that would save me starting from scratch. Thanks, Chris ``` ## Scott Chacon, 2014-05-05 04:29 Subject: Re: material for git training sessions/presentations Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAP2yMa%2BQ56R_Rsbsy4siJNKy0wU0JN7QM1NPMBO8sO_E9CSMwA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` The GitHub training team has all of their materials open sourced under a CC BY 3.0 license.

I'm skimming through the contents and I noticed you mention 'color.ui = auto' a lot. There's no need for that, it has been the default since v1.8.4.

I noticed you were kind enough to open a Pull Request (linked below for reference) addressing this. We really do appreciate the contribution. I'll review the PR just as soon as I can, so anticipate a merge with your changes to the `color.ui` soon. https://github.com/github/training-kit/pull/118 Commit and Octocats, Jordan ``` ## Sitaram Chamarty, 2014-05-07 15:02 Subject: Re: material for git training sessions/presentations Message-ID: <536A4AF5.7050907@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/536A4AF5.7050907%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 05/05/2014 09:48 AM, Chris Packham wrote: > Hi, > > I know there are a few people on this list that do git training in > various forms.

I've written and used the following; the first one is a bit more popular (or at least has been mentioned several times on #git) 1. git concepts simplified: http://gitolite.com/gcs.html 2. a presentation on git: http://gitolite.com/git.html You can use them straight off the web. ```
