    <p>If you want to understand some of the concepts of Git (and only then you can use it effectively), you should read the <a href="http://git-scm.com/book" rel="nofollow">Pro Git book</a> (available online and for download, or even to buy on paper). This is a really good book, teaching you the very basics you need with good examples, and having sections on more advanced stuff if you want to know more.</p> <p>The book assumes that you use a Unix-/Linux-like shell (like Bash). Msysgit (a.k.a. "Git for Windows") brings Bash with it, pre-configured for easy use of Git. (And no, there are not many gits, Msysgit is just a bundle that brings some other dependencies of Git which are not usually installed on Windows.)</p> <p>A shell (also named console or terminal) is in this case a command-line interpreter, just like cmd.exe is on Windows; on the *nix-like systems, there are many more alternatives than on Windows (where one alternative is Powershell), but that's just some side info here.</p> <p>The $ sign in the examples you see is a typical prompt delimiter on *nix-like shells; on Windows (cmd.exe), you usually have ">" as the delimiter. It has no special meaning and just serves as a delimiter.</p> <p>What "checkout" means and how you add files and folders to version control, is explained very well in the mentioned book. You also do not need to know anything about version control in general, the book is really written for absolute beginners (in fact, to start using Git it might be an advantage not to know other VCSs).</p> <p>If you need any help with the stuff that's in the book (or in other tutorials mentioned there, here, or on Google), feel free to drop by the #git IRC channel (more info on the <a href="http://git-scm.com/community" rel="nofollow">git-scm.com community page</a>, where people can help you immediately and with small questions.</p>
