Git: how do you use it?/dummies tutorial

Git for beginners: The definitive practical guide

With git, how do people use it? I mean do you have to use the terminal all the time, or is there a slightly more user friendly way of doing it?

Or is there a tutorial for a complete newcomer to VCS and git?

Seconding the link posted by Mike as a good source of general "getting started" info. — Andrzej Doyle, Feb 14 '11 at 18:21
Hackr has a pretty good "collection" of GIT tutorials, which I personally found useful while I was learning GIT - http://hackr.io/tutorials/git — Gaurav Gupta, Feb 20 '15 at 17:28

Using Github to store, share, and manage small things - like, say your dotfiles - is a pretty good way to get a feel for how you might use git. They also have an extremely useful help page, which in turn links to a crash course on git.

The book Pro Git is also online for free in its entirety, and includes a getting started guide, as well as an introduction to version control.

I always use Gitgui (which comes with Git). I think the only exception is sometimes I'll create the repository on the command line.
