Git _isn't_ easy to learn. Not at all. You can't spend 15 minutes looking at a Git tutorial or playing a game which teaches you Git, close the page and exclaim "Excellent! I know Git now!" - you can however put it on your CV, and blag it in that new job you're applying for where you need to understand git.

Like most things in software development, learning by doing is the best option because most people don't have photographic memories, and having a reference is usually essential.

Luckily, we all have one huge reference available to us, for free (more or less), with a thriving community who are more than happy to help: The Internet.

This tool is, nonetheless, a good starting point.
