I'm creating an interactive presentation on Git for my company who has been using SVN since the dawn of time. Many might consider this a boring project but it also happens to be a wide sought out skill. Very few really dive in to becoming power users of Git which is why I think it's a cool project for me. Teaching any topic to someone else almost always resolves in a considerable skill enhancement for the teacher.

This is a nice presentation that helped solidify some concepts for me: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/A-Tale-of-Three-Trees

Would you mind sharing it publically? I've only ever used for, but wouldn't consider myself a power user. I don't know how to rebase, for example. I'm sure there's value showing it online!
