hmmm, this looks promising. I'm really new to git as well. And right now I just do the basics, Status, Add, Commit, occasional push. I was proud of myself when I started using branches and squashed commits.
Unfortunately, most of my familiarity with source code control is Visual Source Safe, which pretty much sucks in every way possible. I've used the basics of CVS and SVN, but I think I've fallen in love with git. I want to marry it. I want it to have my babies. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll read up on those.
