It's not the internals that make Git special, it's the fact that GitHub uses it, and all the other developers know it.

I always say people should learn VCS at the same time as their first programming language, it's that important. And GitHub is as close to "the standard" VCS as it gets.

Git cola makes most tasks easy, and the stuff it can't do, can be googled.
