SGV Linux Users Group - GitHub Webhooks

This month, we are hosted by Everbridge (http://www.everbridge.com/) at their training center. Everbridge is also sponsoring food and drink.

NOTE: The GitHub WebHooks talk with Christian Weber originally scheduled for tonight is postponed to Dec. 8th (next LUG meeting) due to speaker illness. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Mike Weilgart graciously agreed to be our last-minute substitute with his well-received "Git Foundations: Basic Concepts and Definitions," which was presented at UUASC and LOPSA-LA. He is doing a half-day training session at SoCal Code Camp on Sunday:

Dozens of commands! Hundreds of options! Git has dumbfounded sysadmins and developers alike since its appearance in 2005. And yet, this ingenious software is among the most fantastically useful ever developed. Learn Git from the ground up and the inside out with Git Foundations Training! This talk explores Git’s internals in depth.
