I'm glad to see the increase in GIT tutorials, about a year or two ago there wasn't anything out there except confusing circles that you spin in for people who already know GIT.

Perhaps a blog like the daily VIM might be a great idea for any keen hackers out there.

I started git earlier than a year ago. You can just read the documentation that comes with git. It's understandable (at least if you are a hacker).

Sorry I didn't precisely mean understandable. I mean that's now how your average user wants to learn the system. If I can't figure it out in 3 minutes I go "screw this, it's complicated" and go away back to "File-> save as-> TheEntireProject-Backup2-version8-March11-2009.code" again.

But maybe I shouldn't be concerned with programmers like that.

You were right that git wasn't approachable for normal people.
