* What is a Distributed Version Control System?
* What's the difference between Git and Github.com?
* How to initialize new Git projects locally and on a remote server/Github
* Cloning/Forking existing projects and keeping up to date
* The wonderful world of Git branches
* Interactive rebasing
* Contributing code to existing projects & what pull requests are
* How to handle merge conflicts
* Overview of workflows and branch best practices
* (time allowing) Advanced git: pre/post hooks, submodules, anything else?
