In the video chapter on branching, all the links are bad. When I finally found the page: https://github.com/githubschool/hellogitworld
and cloned from there, one cannot follow the video by do a 'git push' due to lack of privilege.
Making matters worse, the README at the bottom of the page refers to clone pages that are ALL invalid (404).

I cannot tell you HOW FRUSTRATING IT IS to buy a course or book to learn new subject matter -- and not like this is 'new stuff' -- only to find that all the really interesting commands are wrong or cannot be followed.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and git 1.9, and the 'git push' command does NOT try to push to the local 'master'. Instead, it tries to push to the origin, which is the master github repo -- which is 'locked' for lack of a better term. There is no discussion of this on the tape, nor does there seem to be a page with the correct links to follow along.

To add insult to injury, this page is not even formatted for reporting errors on the video, even though the page clearly shows it refers to errata for the video; rather, it is structured for the book. I really did expect better from O'Reilly.

Can you please point me to the correct page(s) so I CAN follow along with the video?

In the video regarding remotes, you say at 4:18 that there is a "simple command" to serve a local repository, that is "git serve" but there is no git serve command, and looking in google I have found that is not quite that easy to set up a git server.

This is an errata for the Remotes video in the series Mastering Git
