Please don't do that.  Most of your audience isn't going to get
past that.

Are you a programmer?  I'd recommend starting with

 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html

and moving on to

 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial-2.html

and

 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#hacki=
ng-git

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
