git Tutorial

I wanted to use git version control for my programming projects, but I can't find a very good explanation of how to use it. Maybe you can give me some hints or show me a simple tutorial?

GitWine is a nice tutorial. it might be a little specific for wine but it has general usage information, too.

I wonder, how do you revert to a previous commit and then get back to a newer one?

Could you use a branch for this; i.e. create a branch before you revert? I admit that I'm not much of a git user.

git reset and git revert are used for this
git reset makes sure that last commit is not done

check man pages they have examples
