I certainly struggled to grok git early on, but I feel this is largely because the documentation and explanations were convoluted. I think you can grasp it quickly by just understanding a few key concepts, namely: a commit is a set of changes to files, branches/tags are basically references to a specific commit, commits have an ancestor commit, remotes track distinct copies of the graph. Then you just need to know which commit you are interested in, how to navigate the graph of commits, and how to merge deviated sets of changes. If you understand those things, you know everything you’ll need to 90% of the time.
