Presentation used to introduce Git to a tech-newbie audience (done along with a hands on session)

2. Shaitan.
DevOp at the Alien
Discovery Mission
(ADM), Ettimadai,
641-112.
Currently dating
pretty hot stuff on the
moon (more on that
off-stage).

3. Mcool.
Genius. The ADM
is his brainchild.
Hacks on a lot of
space data.
Knows the fact that the
only way to survive in
Ettimadai is to close your
eyes and gulp that food
down.

4. Eswar.
Named after God
himself. Please
pronounce in Hindi
or he won’t like it.
Would like to return
to Earth since he
forgot his pillow last
time.

12. Every year, approximately
1MN extra terrestrials on
Mars lose their day jobs
because bosses blame the
wrong guys.

14. Commercial:
teck{know}logy club tshirts
up for grabs. Meet me after
the event ;)

16. Every year, approximately
250 new kids in Ettimadai
spend 3 hours on the last
rd semester reday of their 3
inventing X (or Y or Z)
management system.

24. Here’s some interval time for
those of you who want to
install and set up git on your
machines.
;)

25. $ git init
Magic time ;)
$ git add .
$ git commit –m “Fix the blinking light that shines on
Eswar and hurts his cute eyes”
Some more magic time.
$ git add .
$ git commit –m “It’s difficult to come up with fancy
commit messages every single time.”

29. $ git clone https://github.com/sarupbanskota/moonrescue
$ cd moonrescue
Magic time ;)
$ git add .
$ git commit –m “Grab the pillow once the rescue process is
over”
$ git push github master

31. Stop looking at my face and
try, git.

34. I can’t put this here, but
right now I’ll show you
around GitHub. The basics –
creating a fork, reporting
issues, sending pull
requests, merging it in.

35. When you run into specific
problems, just Google them
and look for answers on
Stack Overflow.

shows result pages on very
specific queries
