Google Map!Prerequisites
Participants are required to have some experience with version control. This means that terms like "check in", "version" etc. will make sense to them.
Participants are expected to be comfortable with a UNIX environment. Typical command line tool usage, the kind that one normally encounters when working on Linux.
The presentation and exercises are tested on Linux. It's best to have a GNU/Linux variant installed on it since git is a child of the UNIX tradition.

Testimonials from previous workshop
I think the workshop was amazing and covered a lot of ground in the time we had. I had a great time attending it and thanks to Hasgeek and Noufal for doing it.
(Sr.Director Engineer, LearnStreet)
Git Workshop was one of the best hands-on sessions I have attended. Especially the speaker Noufal, he was very good at explaining the internals of Git. Overall I am very pleased with the session and would love to see more of such sessions from you guys.
(Team lead, MyParichay)
The kid in me that enjoys looking under the hood and tinkering with innards of any product of sufficient complexity is happy to have experienced the same for two days at the gitworkshop. Towards the end, I emerged greasy, sweaty and incredibly satisfied at also being able to put the pieces back together :)
(Aspiring Chessboxer/SW Engineer)
The workshop was very informative and the exercises were extensive. I personally liked the fact that it was detailed to the last bit, and not just going through the set of commands.You guys are doing a great job. Keep up the good work.
(Software Engineer, TP vision)
The workshop did meet my expectations and was a good learning experience.
Some points to highlight for this:
1.The facilitator's interest to resolve queries posted by the participants.
2.The support team's effort in making the workshop an enjoyable one.
