What we'll cover (and won't cover)
This will cover how to use Git and the new Git project tools on Drupal.org. We'll be setting up an account for git usage, creating a sandbox project, creating a full project, committing, pushing, tagging, branching, and creating releases.
Feel free to
We'll also be doing basic questions and answers, but won't be going into advanced Git usage.
If you already have created a sandbox on Drupal.org, this will probably be too simple for you.
If you want to contribute to code on Drupal.org and have not yet created a sandbox, this is exactly where you need to be.
