FYI, you don't actually need an internet connection to run git. You don't have to constantly connect to some server for every little thing and that's one of its greatest strengths. It's why it's called a distributed version control system.

Also, maybe this is just me but it seems like paying attention to what happens with different forks of code should be the easy part of a software mentor's job.
