OK, I like this introduction a lot (and really think there should be a few more installments to take people through the rest of the topic) though I caution that it's not clear enough that git is a command line interface. It just dumps you into it with this: "To start we will check in on our current Git configuration. Open your shell terminal window and type: $ git config --list
." No, don't type the $ sign. If you don't know what a 'shell terminal window' is, you'll be lost right away. And the very people this article is written for are the people who might not know this. Is it better to start with the desktop app? No. Start with the shell. But explain to people what they're doing. More from Library Carpentry. Via Alan Levine.
