BASE: Speedbar by Steve Stegmann
Emacs' Speedbar for fast file access.
SpeedBar is a tool (written in EMACS) for organizing or listing files
and directories
Speedbar is an integral part of Emacs which has been in use since
version 23.2 in 2010. Entering "speedbar" in the emacs command line
causes another frame to be opened to graphically show the current
directory tree which can be traversed upwards and downwards from the
current position. It shows all of the files and directories and each
can be examined with a single mouse click. If the file is not text but
a jpg or pdf or some other file type an auxiliary program will be called
to display the file in an emacs buffer.
This session might show factors common with both personal and enterprise
computing.

MAIN: A Gentle Introduction to git by Robert Citek
From its inception in 2005, git has gone from a version-tracking tool
used by Linux kernel developers to a corporate mainstay for
collaborating in teams on projects. In this talk, we'll go over the
three main parts of a git project ( i.e. working folder, staging area,
and repository ) and how to work with each. In the process, we'll touch
on many of the git objects that make those parts ( e.g. files/folders,
commits, branches, SHAs, etc. ). And we'll do that by creating and
modifying a project from scratch, using git to manage the changes. By
the end, you will have a good basic understanding of how to use git to
work on your own projects to then branch into more advanced uses of git.
