Don't.

You'll waste an inordinate amount of time listening to the drone of someone's 
uncontrollable verbiage, which contains less that 1% meaningful information.

I suspect that 10 minutes should be enough to explain what git is, what github 
is, how you use them.

Unfortunately, any videos I found over a 10 minute youtube search didn't 
provide me with anything useful to share.  :-(
