Today I presented in the Salt Lake Linux User Group meeting. The topic was “Hands on Intro - Git”. It went well and I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I choked twice once while trying to explain how to git apply patches that you receive via email, but then recovered from it with some help from the audience.
