+This Git manual is intended to be
+educational rather than a lookup
+documentation. And written as a
+tutorial, similarly to an educational
+math book, except it does not include
+problems to solve or test.
+Consequentially, it is designed to
+be read chapter by chapter with
+occasional look-back.
+
+Because of the scattered design
+of the content layout, Git's online
+documentation, accessible with
+@command{man git} and
+@command{man git VERB}, is much
+better for quick lookup of information,
+such as how to use a command.
