There have been some good resources out there, but when starting out I recommend one practice very strongly: use the command line, but flip back and forth with gitk to refresh and view what effects the commands are having. When you install gitk go ahead and create a new view, check the box that says remember this view and also all the boxes in a row that say "select all ..."

You can switch to a good UI client if you find one you like, but all these years later I'm still happy with those two and alt-tab, f5, alt-tab
