A great resource for learning Git, keep it bookmarked to use as a reference!
I have a question for y'all: Where did you learn git? On the job? At uni/college? At home?
The place I currently work uses SVN. When I interview for the job, the guy looked at my resume (which listed SVN and git) and said, "Well I don't know what 'jit' is but I'm glad you have experience with SVN." It was all I could do to contain my laughter. I still prefer git for my personal projects so thanks for this share!
Subgit might interest you. It works pretty well as a seamless mirror between the two.
I learned git mainly through personal projects, but some things that have really solidified my understanding were The Eudyptula Challenge and just contributing to software on GitHub. This kinda stuff let me play with branches, various types of checkout, interactive adds, rebasing, etc.
I actually received a free copy of Version Control by Example by Eric Sink, I found the examples worthwhile and it was a nice introduction but I found the book a little bogged down by the comparison to the other systems. Perhaps I should have submitted that one as the main post.... It's freely available online! Bookmark it!
Going to... thanks. I started using git last night. I figured it'd allow me to stop losing my little tinker projects whenever I kill my VPS's or servers during my on-off periods of interest in coding projects. I thought it was just a convenient and organized pastebin-esque thing until I tried to remove some config settings that didn't need to be public... and then I realized it was quite a bit more than a pastebin-site.keep it bookmarked to use as a reference!
