I find by far the best way to learn git is actually walking through it with someone who knows, and asking absolutely every question that comes to your mind--force them to break it down. Email me at [e-mail] if you want to set up a Skype chat/screenshare sometime, I'd love to teach you. It wasn't that much long ago I was in your shoes!

P.S. And the only way to get better with it after you learn is to use it everywhere. Which is a good idea anyway, because version control is incredibly useful.
