Plans and slides for a short course in intermediate Git consisting of four one-hour class meetings. The intended audience is science students who have begun to use Git via quickstart-style tutorials but who find Git frustrating due to a lack of understanding of its fundamental ideas. Thus, it emphasizes Git's intended usage patterns and concepts such as the staging area and branching model.
