There is an extensive tutorial for git as the Git book:

 <http://www.git-scm.com/book>


For a quick reference, here is a cheet sheet for subversion users:

 <http://www.git-tower.com/blog/git-for-subversion-users-cheat-sheet-detail/>

For an even quicker reference on the most used commands, here is
a mapping :

  Concerning the other commands, here are some hints:

 svn co      --->  git clone
 svn add     --->  git add
 svn rm      --->  git rm
 svn commit  --->  git commit, then git push (rationale explained below)
 svn diff    --->  git diff
 svn update  --->  git pull

>From my own experience, the first thing to understand for the difference
between subversion and git is that in the later there is a separation
between "committing" a change, and "pushing" it to the reference remote
repository. The reason this is a two-stage process in git is that there
are many different repositories and when you "commit" you do it on your
local repository, which is on your own hard drive. So after this first
step, the only person who can see the change is the one who can see this
local repository: you. If you want other people to see your change, you
have to perform the second step and "push" your repository to a
reference one shared with other developers (i.e. in our case the one on
Apache infrastructure). This difference seems at first cumbersome for a
subversion user, and at the beginning we always forget to push and don't
understand why people do not see our commits. After some time, it
appears really a good thing, as it allows to work locally using full
source code versioning features without any risk of breaking things on
the main shared repository.
