Re: Easy way to explain git to new programmers

I've used git for many non professional things (some robotics, some game design) and I've found that the easiest way to get someone involved in git is to just hand them the app, hit commit, and see what happens. Once they see, they're usually like "oh this is so cool". Than after a while with basic commits and whatnot, you can teach them branching, pulling, etc. as you'd teach a subject in school.
