This seems like a really good idea! There are tons of redundant questions on StackOverflow regarding Git in fact. One thing I want to ask, is that will this FAQ cover questions of the type:

"How do I change the remote of my repository?" "What is the difference between a git merge and a git pull?" "Git is tracking the files mentioned in .gitignore, what to do?" "When do I rebase and when do I merge?"

And stuff like that. Basically questions which are more of a help to someone. Or are we focusing only on the FAQs to kind of guide the user in Git, aiming to answer the fundamental questions and not the general problems faced by a user?

Also, I had some FAQs in mind, can I add some into this?
I really appreciate your initiative! :)
