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.
Also see Scott Chacon’s Git Internals PDF for an in-depth explanation of how Git works under the covers.

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
“Your products are great. They have helped me get up to speed with RSpec and Git, quickly!” Bryan Stewart, Student
“The PeepCode Git screencast saved my sanity!” Jim Weirich, Ruby pioneer and creator of Rake
