Read Documentattion/tutorial.txt (and any relevent Documentation/howto/* files).
Search the archives.

If you still have problems, then the best format for questions here seems to be:

1) I was trying to do ... insert high level description here.
2) So I executed these git commands ...

Skipping step 1 can cause delays while people answer questions about the specific micro-problems you had with the commands in step 2, when the real answer is to use some totally different command.
