Tom's 15 years old text remains the only correct, useful, easy to understand explanation of the why and how of git I've ever popularly encountered. Post like the OP's do far more harm than good by introducing mental models comprised of best-effort confused half-knowledge. If (generic) you ever wanted to "really learn git", do yourself a favor and read it.
