DESCRIPTION:This half-day workshop provides an introduction to the Game of 
 Trees version control system.\n\nGame of Trees (Got) is a version control 
 system which prioritizes ease of use and simplicity over flexibility.\nGam
 e of Trees is being developed on OpenBSD. A portable version runs on FreeB
 SD\, NetBSD\, DragonflyBSD\, MacOS\, and Linux.\n\nGame of Trees uses Git 
 repositories to store versioned data\, and can be used as a drop-in replac
 ement or as a companion to Git.\nIt will always remain possible to work wi
 th both Game of Trees and Git on the same repository.\n\nGame of Trees is 
 an original version control system which relies on prior art\, takes what 
 makes Git's design great\, leaves out some parts that make Git hard to use
 \, and invents new parts for an end result which serves the needs of its d
 evelopers and many other people who use version control.\n\nSimple and con
 sistent interface design makes Game of Trees approachable\, while still be
 ing powerful enough for making contributions to projects which use Git.\n\
 nIf you find Git intimidating and confusing\, or if you only ever use a ha
 ndful of the 322 commands Git provides and become frustrated when somethin
 g goes wrong\, you might enjoy using Game of Trees.\n\nEven if you have ne
 ver used Git\, or any version controls system at all\, learning Game of Tr
 ees will prepare you well for learning tools such as Git\, Mercurial\, and
  Jujutsu\, later on.\n\nThis workshop's main focus will be the Game of Tre
 es command line client and repository browser for text terminals.\nGame of
  Trees can also be used to host Git repositories on servers\, and we will 
 briefly touch on this\, too.
