If you know it well, and if everyone else knows it well.

But how would the average person know this? GIT is everywhere, now. I need to stop being that guy who looks up a few commands and dabbles with GIT, and start being a GIT expert. If a local community college gave a semester GIT course, that would be what I need. Failing that, a copy of "GIT For Dummies" would suffice, except that there's no such book (and bozos unaware of trademark law label their little tutorials as "GIT For Dummies", making things even more difficult). Anyone know a good source of GIT learning that's self-discoverable and has a reasonable learning curve from know-nothing to expert?
