      It's not 1999 anymore, the command-line examples should be in PowerShell...

      Git is the best technology for projet management where we aren't solo. Better productivity

      There is in git one more place, where you may store you changes, Stash.

      See visual studio uservoice idea about git-stash support and vote for it. It will be more useful than just discontented comments here.

      One area I'd like to see covered in a "getting started with Git" presentation series is how to cope with migrating solutions from other version control systems. I'm using Component Software's "CS-RCS", which is GNU-RCS compatible, and plugs in to Visual Studio. Sadly, the company is no longer operating, and their web site is dead.
