Scott Chacon collaborated with Pragmatic Programmers to create a series of screencasts titled "Insider Guide to GitHub," focusing on both basic and advanced GitHub functionalities. Initially intended as part of the GitCasts series, the project faced delays due to Chacon's transition to working full-time at GitHub. The first episode, which is free and covers essential GitHub tasks such as cloning projects, creating accounts, and managing repositories, is available to the public and encourages sharing. The second episode, priced at $5, delves into more complex topics like using the GitHub gem, APIs, and deployment examples. The screencasts were edited and graphically enhanced by Mike Clark, contributing to their polished presentation. Chacon invites viewers to suggest topics for future episodes, potentially expanding the series based on audience interest.
