The author is making the mistake of looking to github to explain git, but that's backwards. First you need to understand what a sea change git is to your daily development (compared to subversion anyway). Offline or peer-to-peer development, painless merging, extremely fast, conceptually simple repository model, etc.

If that stuff doesn't blow you away in practice then it's silly to think that github will make any sense at all.

I agree, but it's also in our best interest to educate people about Git that show up to GitHub without any prior knowledge. Sounds like we need to do a better job of that.

That would actually be really good. Easy tutorials to do common and uncommon tasks in git for users that don't know it yet would be really useful.
