To feel comfortable with Git, make this book your bible:<div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><a href="http://progit.org/book/">http://progit.org/book/</a></div><div><br></div>
<div><a href="http://progit.org/book/"></a>Chapter 2 starts getting you used to your everyday workings, and particularly explains the cool "staging" concept (I wanna commit just a bit, then another bit...) which is one of the things that makes Git shine, apart from the fact that it is distributed.</div>

<div><br></div><div><a href="http://progit.org/book/ch2-2.html"></a>Read (and re-read, I often forget a whole bunch of stuff and conveniences) and you will start feeling comfy with Git in no time.</div><div><br></div><div>

</div></div> I'm also on Windows and I've used TortoiseGit, SmartGit and<br>
"vanilla" Git. Both Tortoise and SmartGit are _great_ tools and do the<br>
work _very_ well. But I must agree with everyone that already told you<br>
that you _need_ to know the basics in order to use those correctly.<br>
<br>
That being said, if I had to choose between Tortoise and SmartGit<br>
*today*, I would kept with SmartGit, since the last time I tested<br>
Tortoise (Jan 2010) it wasn't working very well. But I'm giving it a<br>
new try and it seems to be working fine so far.<br>
