gitref.org makes it really easy to understand and use git, at least it did for me. No graphical tools required.

  >gitref.org makes it really easy to understand and use git, at least it did for me. I don't avoid the git command line as much as I can because I don't know it or am afraid to learn it. I have to use it since GitX can't do everything I need yet (and the picture seems even worse on windows). I use the GUI as much as I can because it's a much more efficient work flow. In a GUI like GitX it is much less effort to do patch commits because I can just view the changes and select the lines I want. It takes several different commands to accomplish this same functionality (a git status to see what's changed, git add -i on the file, e on the hunk I want, edit the hunk via vi, write the file). >No graphical tools required. Except there is. When you do "git -p file" (which I do a lot and would not have switched without this capability) you are put into a graphical editor to pick which parts of the hunk to commit.
