link:everyday.html[Everyday Git] for a useful minimum set of commands, and
"man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may
also want to read link:cvs-migration.html[CVS migration].
+link:user-manual.html[Git User's Manual] is still work in
+progress, but when finished hopefully it will guide a new user
+in a coherent way to git enlightenment ;-).
The COMMAND is either a name of a Git command (see below) or an alias
as defined in the configuration file (see gitlink:git-config[1]).
