PeepCode
Git
"Preview"
by Geoffrey Grosenbach. Technical editing by Git Maintainer Junio C Hamano.
The git source code control system was developed by Linus Torvalds for managing the Linux kernel. But it’s also valuable for managing all kinds of code: libraries, web applications, personal files.
Git was built for the modern developer’s workflow. Easy branching, full capability even when offline, and fast operation make other source code management systems feel underpowered compared with git!
This 60 minutes screencast will teach you how to install and use Git. You’ll learn how to create a repository, use branches, and work with remote repositories.
Integration with Subversion is also mentioned briefly.

What People Are Saying
“The screencast helped me understand the ways in which Git improves on Subversion, and also that you don’t have to give up Subversion entirely to reap the benefits of Git — Git will happily work with a Subversion repository.” Drew McCormack
“I think the Git movie is your best one yet. Keep up the excellent work!” Sam Granieri
“This screencast reinforces my fondness for screencasts, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to get started with Git. Grosenbach explains and demonstrates the Git fundamentals clearly, and he points out ways to streamline one's workflow in Git.” LinuxWorld.com

What People Are Saying About PeepCode
“PeepCode is awesome!” Tim O'Reilly, O'Reilly Media
“These things are fantastic and the price is a steal. I strongly urge you to support this effort and buy the episodes. What a terrific way to learn!” Scott Barron, Rails Core Committer
“[The] git PeepCode book is awesome. Congrats on a job very well done. This should be required reading for all git users.” Jamis Buck, Rails Core Alumnus
“It was refreshing to read about git from the bottom up, and not compared to SVN. I was at the stage where I could do most of the basic tasks I used to do in SVN, but lacked a fundamental understanding of how it was working under the hood...Understanding all those concepts really helped me grok why the higher level commands and workflows work the way they do, and how to avoid some of the pitfalls.” James, in blog comment
“Even if you are not planning to write a Rails plugin, you should absolutely check this book, there are great insights about how Rails works and you will figure out that building a plugin is as easy as anything in Ruby, it’s just a matter of knowing where to place your code.” Codevader Blog
