My first resource to get a good overview of git was the peepcode screen cast: http://peepcode.com/products/git. It covers everything from installation, configuration, branches, philosophy, repositories....everything.
The man pages are also very helpful for getting an overview of each command. I would just recommend installing git, search for an open source project you are interested in on github.com, checkout the repo and play around with the commands. You will be surprised how incredibly intuitive it is.
