To really get your head around git it helps to read the open source book Git From The Bottom Up. It explains the internal data structures from the bottom up. This gives you the amazing superhuman power understanding what you could have done wrong and what you might need to do to fix things. Before I had this knowledge I used to often zip up my local folder before trying to fix things due to fear, uncertainty and doubt. Now I still have to search for advanced things but find it much easier to see which answers match my situation and will fix it.
