I personally also don't understand why whenever I see a tutorial / explanation everyone only uses git via the command line. I almost never do that, I always use a GUI which just makes it (for me) much easier... don't get me wrong: I think I'm pretty knowing what happens behind the scenes in git, but I still feel it's much more comfortable (especially for diffs / reviewing changes etc.) to use a tool.
My preference is Tortoise Git: tortoisegit.org/

Hi
Interesting article.
Just a few things which came to my mind.
The definition of "branch" you have is just wrong:
It's certainly not a copy of the repo and it also hasn't directly something to do with "your computer".
=> git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branchi...
Also a good starting point is to read the first few chapters of the free "pro git" book, since it's really good:
