Designing a 'Git 101' class

Hello Git Migration Team.
I am interested in sharing plans to teach Git.

In the beginning of July, I will be teaching a Git class to students participating in a summer Drupal learning project.

This is my plan for preparing the class:
1. Personally get more up to speed with Git. I use Git already, but want to read both Git books (the O'reilly one & also the Apress book) Both are mentioned on the Drupal Git resources handbook page.

* http://drupal.org/node/783086

* http://groups.drupal.org/node/64083 (learning Git discussion)

2. Review Git tutorials that would be good for students in a class (share reviews back with Drupal.) Esp. http://learn.github.com
3. Create curriculum

* Think about what students need in order to get Git running on their computers. Prepare a list of things students will need on their computers.

* Think about how mentors might be able help students during the class 'lab hours.' (What resources would mentors need in order to help students - ex. troubleshooting Windows, Git on weird servers, helping students with command line?*)

* Think of what sort of introduction to Git would work:
* What is Git? What is version control? Why use Git? What will Git enable you to accomplish? What does it mean that Drupal will move to Git?
4. Create little learning assignments**, things to try with Git. Figure out how to do these assignments individually, remotely, remotely with mentors, & in person.
5. Make class schedule. Break the activities and exercises up into the available time.
6. Make webpage showing the curriculum of the class & 'advertise' to students.
7. When class is over, report back to Drupal how our class went. (I guess this means doing some sort of evaluations.)

So, that's my plan.

Note: my git class will take place after a 'Command Line Bootcamp.' I am planning to have students in my project use the Git command line since we are teaching 'development skills.' Git GUIs are another option, but I decided to focus on using the command line for my class.

Examples of assignments
Beginner activities
Task 1: 'Make a commit': initialize a repository, add files, run git commit command.
Task 2: 'Clone a repository'
Task 3: 'Push to a remote host'
Task 4: 'Pull from a remote host'
Task 5: (Partner activity) 'Pass a file from your computer to a partner's computer.' The partner will modify the file. Get their file back to your git
repository using git.

Advanced activities
Task 6: (Groups of 3 or more people) 'Merging': Clone X repository. Everyone makes a remote branch. Everyone shares their changes at the same time. Make sure the files fit together properly & have everyone's additions.

Task 7: (Groups of 2 or more) 'Sharing Patches': Share a patch. Apply a patch. Share a patch on an issue ticket. Drupal patch etiquette. Testing Bots.

Try fancy Git tricks
Tricks that show why some people are so in love with Git! :)
* git stash

* Checking out a specific commit with that 6 digit hash thing

* Others suggestions? I don't know the advanced features of Git that well yet!
