information for a 60-minute "intro to git" needed

Apparently, in a fit of confusion, I agreed to present a 60-minute "intro to git" for the Portland (Oregon) Linux Advanced Topics meeting on 20 November.

Since I haven't even started it, I guess it's time to start writing. I know about the Documentation/* directory, but have any of you also written tutorials or presentations on git for your organization? If so, I'd like to steal, I mean observe what you've done. I will make my slides available as well, under the GFDL or equivalent.

And Linus, if you're in town on the 20th, you should come to the meeting to make a fool of me and give the real scoop. :) (Only half joking... if you could make it there, it'd be a real help to me.)

and replies for some slides from OLS (dunno if jdl's made his available?), and http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitLinks for links to plenty of "using git" pages for various projects and other introductory articles. There are also few crash courses at git.or.cz but they go by the Cogito path; the general outline just with different commands might be still somewhat useful, though. Also, someone from #git was presenting lately and is planning on making his presentation available, too.

GitLinks has now links to junio, jdl and pasky slides from OLS, and junio slides from OSDL Japan Linux Symposium.

This is all great. Thank you. And I hope to have a presentation worthy of placing on that page within a week.

The OSDL Japan one is much more suitable for stealing tutorial material from than the OLS one, but they took the pages on old seminars down without telling me, it seems. I've updated the link in GitLinks page. The presentation is designed to be run in 25 minutes using the first half of slides (pretty pictures), followed by a 25 minutes demo (reproducing the second half of slides).

I think Martin Langhoff promised to make his presentation done in Mexico available to us sometime ago, but I wonder what happened to it...

Hola! You are right, I never published anything... The Mexico presentation was a combination of your original slides (I ended up using the PDF directly as I didn't have OOv2) plus a version of my older talk notes, updated and in Spanish. So I swapped the two around.... "live".

The old, outdated talk is based on Cogito, and can be found here. I still use it for my inhouse team -- http://wellington.pm.org/archive/200510/git/

cheers,

I gave this talk at Ubucon: http://h4x0r5.com/~ryan/presentations/git-why.pdf (I modeled this one after Junio's OLS talk, as I thought it was more interesting to give a 'why' talk, rather than a 'magic incantation' talk.)

Back in April, I used these to give a talk at Penguicon: http://h4x0r5.com/~ryan/presentations/git-tutorial.pdf

All of my git papers published in Linux Magazine as well as my OLS presentation are available off of www.jdl.com. (Yes, I still need to make them available off of opensource.freescale.com as well still. *sigh*)

excellent articles :)

glad to see other people from the semiconductor industry use/excel with git.

Thank you!

For the record, no MS products were used in the creation of those papers, nor the presentations. I wrote plain ASCII text for the papers, and the presentation was done in OpenOffice. After that, however, I don't know how Linux Magazine produced the PDF files for the articles. :-)

Yes, I _know_ you meant "do well", not "Use MS Excel"... :-)

I thought I saw somebody running an OpenOffice presentation on a windows machine at OLS, and have a vague recollection that it was you ;-).
