I completely agree. If it helps, I wrote up some visual tutorials about version control in general that many have found helpful:

The idea is to build a mental model about what is possible vs. memorizing a bunch of specific commands. Once I wrapped my head around the concepts, the commands fell into place.

Looks good!

On my screen the text is light gray on white. Is that intentional?

Whoops! Thanks for the comment, the text should be a readable black on white (like this: https://skitch.com/kalidazad/er7an/intro-to-distributed-vers...).

Which browser were you using? (I just tried FF, Chrome, Safari) Thanks!
