Github: Good overall, but some links are outdated.

1. Good.
2. OK, I think the ticket should also include the ability to make a check box and other formatting that members will need to use.
3. By Link:
   A. Good
   B. Video no longer available
   C. Good
   D. Good for now, but Github is going to sunset this article on Aug 2024. Use this instead https://docs.github.com/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/learning-about-projects/about-projects
4. Good

Git: A lot of the stuff done in this ticket can be done either the same way or in an even better way through VsCode. We may want to reconsider using gitbash to teach this section and instead teach it via VsCode's built in terminal and branch control tools.

1. Good.
2. Good.
3. By link:
   A. Good
   B. Good
   C. Good
   D. Good
   E. Good
   F. Good
   Technically, Links C-E are redundant, because all of the information within them is also included in link B (Just make it more clear what each link is giving you)
4. Good

Java 1:

1. Good
2. Good
3. Good
4. Multiple thoughts:
   A. Exercise 1 is on page 15, not 18. (Need to correct this in the ticket)
   B. Not sure about the way page 21 teaches && and || operators. I think we should consider using more words and less symbols for brand new programmers
   C. Exercise 2 is on page 27, not 30. (Need to correct this on the ticket)
   D. Cannot tell whether this section is supposed to end on page 29 or 33, but it definitely doesn't end on 30.
