Git workshop over irc

Date: 15th June
Venue: #wfs-india channel on freenode
Time: 6:30pm to 8:30pm IST
Registration: http://www.wfs-india.org/form/registration-form-git-workshop-june-15-2013

Git is, technically speaking, the most advanced version control system on earth right now. However this does not itself justify why everybody should learn it. The real value of git is that it has taken collaboration to a new level. Just like social media has made friendship cross barriers of space, git has helped developers work together across continents. Git is the backbone of developers working on huge projects like the Linux kernel. Git is also the choice of countless designers and can be used by visual artists and authors as well.

This amazing tool costs nothing — it is free.

Free to use and to modify as well (courtesy GNU-GPL V2). Nobody can stop you from becoming an expert in git.
Get started with Git through our workshop.

Did this happen ? Is there a screencast/video of the event ? I didn’t get any mail after I registered. So I missed the event.
