The formatting in the previous email was a bit off. Here is the proper one.
The most commonly used git commands are:
    * starting a working area:
       clone      Clone a repository into a new directory
       init       Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one
    * examining the history and state:
       diff       Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc
       log        Show commit logs
       show       Show various types of objects
       status     Show the working tree status
       bisect     Find by binary search the change that introduced a bug
       grep       Print lines matching a pattern
    * working on the current change:
       add        Add file contents to the index
       checkout   Checkout a branch or paths to the working tree
       reset      Reset current HEAD to the specified state
       rm         Remove files from the working tree and from the index
       mv         Move or rename a file, a directory, or a symlink
    * growing, marking and tweaking your history:
       commit     Record changes to the repository
       rebase     Forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head
       tag        Create, list, delete or verify a tag object signed with GPG
    * working with others:
       fetch      Download objects and refs from another repository
       pull       Fetch from and integrate with another repository or a local branch
       push       Update remote refs along with associated objects
    * branching and merging histories:
       branch     List, create, or delete branches
       merge      Join two or more development histories together
