It's interesting how different organizations concentrate on different sets of 'git' commands. I guess that is proof of the flexibility of 'git'. One organization I know uses 'rebase' a lot but never uses 'pull request'. With another, it is just the opposite.

I must admit that Git is a pendant task on my schedule. I didn't realize the importance of a CVS because I was mainly working alone. But things have changed and I need to evolve and learn a CVS. So, as I have found out there everybody is talking about Git and as you have posted a very clear and useful guide, I think it is time to go for it and make a change on my skills.
Thank you very much for the guide and the external links.

Sorry to bother you but can I ask one question? You have plans to make a tutorial about remote repositories? This one is about local one's right?
