Hi Katrin, I use GitHub desktop all the time for introductions to git and found that you can really speed through things and get people really comfortable even in just an hour. I ran a git/github lesson for one of my classes that ran for about 3 hours. It started with my introduction to github desktop ( https://github.com/elliewix/github-training-brain-dumps/blob/master/github_directions.md) adapted to just use markdown files, and then patched into the SWC git lesson. Getting introduced to the vocabulary first within a gui and then seeing how the command line actions related to actions on the website and the GUI seemed to really help reinforce the concepts. Once I clean up all the materials for that class I'll be posting things up on github.
I haven't seen the built in tutorial, but will check that out!
