Don't. You'll waste an inordinate amount of time listening to the drone of someone's uncontrollable verbiage, which contains less that 1% meaningful information. I suspect that 10 minutes should be enough to explain what git is, what github is, how you use them. Unfortunately, any videos I found over a 10 minute youtube search didn't provide me with anything useful to share. :-( -- Regards, Mick
