One more small step for GitPitch…a giant leap for presentation authors on gitpitch.com creating modern slide decks managed under Git version control on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket 🚀🌗

Enterprise Ready Slide Decks

GitPitch is a unique slideshow presentation service designed and optimized for developers on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. But developers are just one part of a wider network. A network that includes support, marketing, sales, and even C-suite executives. Plus of course, clients and customers.

So there are times when presentations must be shared in a format that is familiar across the entire network. And for that, GitPitch now exports slide decks to PPTX format. Delivering pixel-perfect rendering inside of PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides.

Get in touch to find out how you can unlock new value on existing Git infrastructure and investment. Activate GitPitch-as-a-Service on-premises. The GitPitch Enterprise contact form is here.

Conference Ready Slide Decks

GitPitch offers comprehensive support for presenting offline. And for publishing slide decks to the cloud too. With built-in speaker support both approaches offer excellent solutions for conference speakers.

But sometimes conference organizers insist speakers submit slide decks using traditional presentation formats. Like PowerPoint.

For GitPitch presentation authors, the solution is now just one-click away. You can turn any GitPitch slide deck into a PPTX document. Delivering pixel-perfect rendering inside of PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides.

Developer Ready Slide Decks

Take a quick look at the screenshot below. It shows a sample GitPitch slide deck that demonstrates a number of live code presenting features. The deck exported by GitPitch Desktop has been opened in Microsoft PowerPoint.

I hope you’ll agree, this is a great example of modern slide decks in action. Created using markdown + Git. Shared everywhere.

A Modern Slide Deck Solution

In April, 2018 I published a blog post titled Use Git to deliver modern slideshow presentations. You can read the original post here.

The byline for that post read Move over PowerPoint, Git is taking center stage. While this might seem like an exaggeration….with GitPitch it is becoming a reality. For developers on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

But today’s announcement acknowledges a simple yet important truth:

For best results, use the right tool for the right job.

Be it a conference, training, or corporate presentation. Speakers strive to communicate effectively with their audiences. So my job is to ensure GitPitch delivers the tools speakers need to be successful doing just that.

For this reason, today’s announcement demonstrates a strong commitment from GitPitch to embrace the high utility of PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides when the job calls for it.

It’s an exciting time for GitPitch as the feature set evolves. Offering unparalleled simplicity, flexibility, and power for markdown presentation authors on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
