Please don't do that. Most of your audience isn't going to get past that.

Are you a programmer?  I'd recommend starting with
 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial.html
and moving on to
 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gittutorial-2.html
and
 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual.html#hacking-git

Hope that helps, Jonathan
