Well, that was the point of [[Git/Getting started]] because the Workflow
document sucks.

for me to understand git. I don't say it should be considered some
"official" documentation, rather something what desperate people could
use.
Git/Workflow and such are written by people who already understand git
- they don't see what seems complicated to newbies or what is really
hard and makes git evil to new users. I think some far, far simpler
guide like "git for dummies" or whatever similar, could be useful for
many new contributors who have no idea about git.

Hi,
Long time ago when I started learning with git I decided to create a
simple guide (basically I was just taking some notes of what is
needed). I never thought that it could be useful to anyone so I never
announced it anywhere. However I got some feedback to it, so I decided
to inform you too.
The basic idea is to create a TOTALLY SIMPLE guide that git
illiterates like me can understand and thanks to which they would find
out how to do stuff in wikimedia git / gerrit.
Link is here:
www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Petrb/Git_for_idiots
It doesn't contain so much and there are some mistakes / feel free to fix them.
Since wikimedia switched to gerrit from svn I have yet met a tons of
people who had problems adapting to it, so this could eventually help
some.
We've got [[Git/Workflow]], [[Git/Tutorial]] and [[Git/Getting
started]] (in decreasing
order of complexity/depth), so I would be hesitant to add yet another
howto page.
Considering this is supposed to be quick-and-easy docs, I'd suggest folding any
unique content into the getting started doc.
