GitPitch In 60 Seconds

To experience just how simple it is to create a GitPitch slideshow presentation, follow along with this short tutorial.

Tutorial also available for GitLab and Bitbucket users.

Step 1. Create PITCHME.md

Using your preferred code editor create a file called PITCHME.md, then add and save the following Markdown content:

# Flux 

An application architecture for React

#HSLIDE

### Flux Design

- Dispatcher: Manages Data Flow
- Stores: Handle State & Logic
- Views: Render Data via React

#HSLIDE

Before moving on to the next step it's worth taking note of the following:

  1. The PITCHME.md file name is case sensitive.
  2. The PITCHME.md file content is standard Markdown.
  3. The #HSLIDE markdown fragment acts as a delimiter between slides.

Using #HSLIDE is a GitPitch convention, acting as a delimiter to denote the separation between content on different slides in your presentation. You can use custom delimiters if you prefer. For this example, when GitPitch processes the Markdown content it will result in a simple presentation with just three slides.

Step 2. Commit PITCHME.md

Now add this file to your Git repo and push to GitHub:

git add PITCHME.md
git commit -m "Added my first GitPitch slideshow content."
git push

Step 3. Done!

Your GitPitch slideshow presentation is now waiting for you to share or present at its public URL. To see a live demonstration of this slideshow presentation click here. Your own presentation should look a lot like this:

Immediately you can download your slideshow for offline presentation, print it as a PDF document, or share it on social media.

Note, beyond support for standard Markdown on presentation slides, GitPitch delivers a number of features tailored for developers, including support for code blocks, GitHub GIST, math formulas along with image, and video support. The full set of GitPitch features are documented on the GitPitch Wiki. To see a live slideshow demonstration of these features try out the GitPitch Kitchen Sink.
