" summary

Claim: combining Git and GitHub makes large-scale collaboration fast and auditable. Demonstrations show interactive rebase to rewrite history (rewriting commit messages and squashing) and git bisect binary search that locates the exact bad commit which removed a quote and broke hello world then is fixed. Explains fork/clone/branch/commit/push/pull request workflow, warns do not rebase public commits, and cites Linux kernel scale: ~1,300 contributors, ~1.5 GB repo, ~15M lines as motivation for Git performance.
