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. -- epistemological humility
