I might be able to help on this depending on my schedule. (I currently have a group meeting colliding with exactly the same time slot. But I occasionally can skip it and come here.) Not an expert though.

Ideas:

git:
- what is VCS and why git
  - centralized vs. distributed
- how not to use git
  - binaries files (instead of using .gitignore)
- file conventions
  - .git
  - makefile
  - README
  - COPYING
  - COPYRIGHT
  - INSTALL
- how to use git
  - atomic commit
  - git flow (a version of it)
  - protected master branch
  - git tag
- advance use
  - modifying git history: how, when, and when not to
  - cherry-pick
  - squash
  - multiple remotes
- Softwares
  - GitHub Desktop (electron based)
  - GitKraken
GitHub
- rules & ethics
  - don't spam on issue tracker
  - 1 person 1 account
  - GitHub Organization
  - GitHub Education
- file conventions (in addition to git)
  - .github
  - CONTRIBUTING.md
- issues
- pull requests
- wiki
- milestones and labels
- gh-pages
- insights
- visualizing git diff
- templates
- markup such as markdown (also support others such as RST)
  - GFM (new)
  - pandoc
  - ipynb
- releases
  - binaries either .gitignored or here
- badges
- support outside issue tracker?
  - Google Groups
  - another repo's issue tracker for "support ticket"
- use git properly
  - e.g. how to preserve git history for credits and bug hunting
- advanced
  - git LFS
  - hooks
    - Travis CI
  - GitHub API (e.g. through curl)
point out some helper scripts I wrote?
