The following QuickTime Vimeo screencast is about two minutes and thirty seconds long and is aimed at developers new to git and unfamiliar with git. I talk about initializing a new repository, adding files to a new repository, committing, status and the git revision log.

    Very nice! I now know more about git than ever before! Being a fan of svn, it was very cool to see this in action. I’ll definitely be playing around with it – as I still need a local repository at home.

    GGJ!

      Why thank you! I really hope they’re… useful. Anything you’d like to see in upcoming screencasts? I’m in the process of completing Part II and I’m planning a series of screencasts on Erlang…

    Just tried Git for the first time today and watched your screencast. Your screencast does show how easy it is to setup a new project. Very cool. Look forward to your other screencasts.
