NAME
----
This is reference information for the core git commands.
+Before reading this cover to cover, you may want to take a look
+at the link:tutorial.html[tutorial] document.
+
The Discussion section below contains much useful definition and
clarification info - read that first. And of the commands, I suggest
reading link:git-update-cache.html[git-update-cache] and
link:git-read-tree.html[git-read-tree] first - I wish I had!
+After you get the general feel from the tutorial and this
+overview page, you may want to take a look at the
+link:howto-index.html[howto] documents.
