Sample git commands

For those of us accustomed to CVS here are some simple commands that will get you going with git. An important conceptual difference between git and cvs is that cvs has one central repository while in git all repositories are equal. Git does remember where your files come from though, this makes it simpler to perform further actions. Resolving conflicts is somewhat more involved than with cvs, see the separate page on that.
