Note sure if you are meaning the specifics of what git does or the general 
ideas behind version control.  Assuming you are wanting the git specifics 
though, I've developed a diagram I like to use that I've got very good feedback 
from students on.  There is a copy on our git help page under the Basic 
Workflow section.

https://www.sharcnet.ca/help/index.php/GIT

Did a webinar last year for our youtube channel where I build it up.  That's 
pretty much the first bit of in-class lecture I deliver on it minus the 
in-class exercises.  Feel free to use as little or as much of the material as 
you want.  I'll likely do the second half of it this year sometime.

I welcome any comments to if anyone has any feedback.

Cheers!  -Tyson

Hi Karin,

Here's a presentation that I've given a number of times with very 
effective results: http://www.slideshare.net/willingc/yes-you-can-git


It's designed for complete beginners to open source. The first section 
focuses heavily on understanding that: 1) git is a tool and GitHub is a 
service; 2) the logical understanding of what local and remotes 
represent as well as origin and upstream. I've found that if students 
can start with a concrete understanding of the concept of git that the 
quirky jargon is not so confusing.


Feel free to use whatever inspires.

Warmly,

Carol

Hi Karin,


This is a nice story of how git works:

It is a long read, but I feel it makes it really understandable. Hope it works 
for you.


Best,

Carlos

I thought I'd explain a bit about version control and git for my group
next week. Does anybody of a lecture that explains the principle and how
git works that I could either borrow from or be inspired by? (not too
interested in the actual commands, but what it does - that's going to be
the selling point for my group).

Hi,

here are some slides I'm using for a quick (not that quick tough) 
presentation.
In parallel, I run git commands and draw a diagram with the current 
folder, the .git, the history:

http://home.heeere.com/research.html#twitwi/Presentation-2016-09-01-git-gitlab-hcurien

On the same page, if you scroll up to 2017-01-20, you'll also find a 
longer material (1 day) with the beginning in French, but the git part 
in English.


Cheers,
Rémi

Hi Karin,

In case they’re any use, the slides I used most recently, based on the SWC 
materials, are here (the SVG images don’t render on the GitHub site, but 
they’re in the repo): 
https://github.com/widdowquinn/2017-01-09-dundee/blob/gh-pages/lessons-dundee/git/slides_git.md
 


Cheers,
