I know this is not what you're asking for, but it may come in 
handy as supporting material: I just watched this introduction 
[1] to git using my favourite git GUI: SourceTree. The GUI has 
evolved a bit since the videos were made, but it takes the viewer 
through the basics at a pace that everybody should be able to 
follow. Sadly some planned videos in the series were never added.
