Presumably I know why I want to use git before I look at this guide. Also, I know what a repository is (in the English sense), but just in case, I typed define repository into google: "A place, building, or receptacle where things are or may be stored." Now "Create a new repository" really is dead simple. The term commit and it's function are made clear in the "add and commit" section. Perhaps the order of "trees" and "add and commit" should be switched, but this hardly makes the guide unusable. If in doubt, type the commands and see what happens. And, at the very very least, the article is titled "git - the simple guide", not "version control terminology - the simple guide". Perhaps not everyone is the intended audience, and perhaps some people could supplement this guide with additional reading. I've never used git, and I found this guide clear and useful.
