As a relatively new user myself, I ran into the same confusion when I
came to the website for the first time.  One of the most prominent
things on the front page is the "Git Crash Courses."  Clicking on that
gives me the crash courses, all of which are about Cogito, not for
Git.  So why doesn't the front page say "Cogito Crash Courses"
instead?

And I don't think it matters much whether Cogito makes things easier
or not -- the Git website really should make Git's documentation more
prominent than Cogito's.  I'd expect the opposite of Cogito's website.

It *is* unnecessarily confusing.
