GitMinutes #08: Drew Neil on Vim and Workflow

GitMinutes

In this episode we talk to Drew Neil. He is the man behind Vimcasts, and the book Practical Vim. A couple of years back he did a whole bunch of screen-casts on how to use Git from inside of Vim, and this is what made me want to get him on the show.
