In lack of good git documentation and manuals, I started by own.

It seems to be lack of well written manuals, and Git's online
documention itself is atrocious. While I do not except the writers
to have taking any course in pedagogy or didactics, or even have any
practical experience, I at least expect the writters to try to
keep those aspects in mind, but that does not seem to be the case.

Documentation should first introduct the concept, then the
implementation; that is, first how to get started, than what
they are doing. In other words, first how to create a Git
repository and the absolute essantials, than introduce Git
itself. Not first taking about what Git is, readers want to
read the chapters in their order, if they do not have anything
specific in mind.

Documentation should then give you breif documentation of everthing
you need to know in the order of imporantance, then, iterator be
more advanced.

But one of the most important part is not to start with dangerous
commands just because it is easier to be lazy them. Try to do it
right from the beginning, otherwise the wrong way will stick in
the reader's memory.
