MODERATORS
People would be a lot less confused if they would read the official git book instead of trying to force their they through life googling errors and cheatsheets.
People just nuke a local git repo and reclone if something goes wrong. There isn't even an attempt to understand anything.
Reading the manual? That's cheating!
+1. Git is one of those projects that supply official, authoritative, comprehensive and easy-to-understand documentation.
