Hello Everyone,

My name is Andrew Chitester, and I'm a student at Cape Cod Community
College working towards a bachelors in Computer Science.

My interest in Git flourished after discovering Magit in Emacs. I've
kept some notes on my progress towards contributing to Git on a github
page[1] and my overall goal is to improve my ability to communicate and
contribute.

With that said, I think it is in our best interest to learn from each
other and collaborate. I am determined to learn about Git and am looking
forward to becoming part of this community.
