I hear good things about magit, does anyone have any good learning resources for someone who is relatively new to emacs?

Here's a recent talk/screencast by John Wiegley that covers a lot of Magit tips and tricks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-k-lkilbEs

It doesn't really get any better than the documentation on the homepage:

Thanks, I probably just need to start forcing myself to use it for a while and try and get over the initial hump of just wanting to get things done quickly using the tools I already know.

It depends almost completely on git for tracking repository state, at least for basic usage, so you can switch back and forth to your familiar methods quite safely. That way, you only have to learn a little of it at a time.

And at any time, you can just use "! !" to run an arbitrary git command on your repo, if you so choose. Since Magit depends on git for status tracking, you don't risk breaking anything.
