One big thing that helped me get started was following this workflow: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ If you have co-workers whose workflow you can copy then I don't think it is needed, but if you want to start a project from scratch with Git then having a plan like this can be really helpful.
