+Git is a Version Control System
+
+Have you struggled with combining changes across a team of writers e-mailing edited documents back and forth? Or created dozens of "old", "old2". Yea, then git will make your life better. 
+
+If you are course 6, You probably want to read 
+[Git for Computer Scientists](http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/) which will teach you the abstract object model. Nelhage also gives a cluedump in the fall about the object model and you might want to read [his slides](http://web.mit.edu/nelhage/Public/git-slides-2009.pdf)
+
+But this will not really teach you the commands you need to know for everyday use.
+
+You should walk through [The git tutorial](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html) for this.
+
+But the real way to learn git is to use it for a project.
+
+
+At the very least you can just `git init` in the directory of any project you start, `git add` new and changed files, and `git commit -m "some description of your changes"`. And pick up collaboration, branching, history editing, and cherry picking when you need them.
+
+There is also the route taken by ezyang and gdb: coming up with some crazy project to do something _using_ git as a tool.
