20 commands is much more than I use in my daily use of git.

Lets see: git clone git diff git reset --hard git ls-files git grep git add git rm cg-commit cg-restore git push git am

I may have missed one or two - but this is it. Lees then 20. And I never use pack or fsck.

It is not that difficult. A few cogito commands creeped in also. I just find them easier to use.

In other words - the tutorials are covering too much as stated by others.
