I don't get this. Sure, the tutorial looks very pretty, but it does not explain any concepts.

"Create a new repository." What is a repository? What do I do with it?

The HEAD is a tree "which points to the last commit you've made". Huh? A tree can point? The one in my garden can't. Also, what's a commit? I thought "commit" was a verb, not a noun.

And so on.

It's nice that people want to make something as complex as git accessible, so I applaud the effort. Nevertheless, this just makes me feel like a moron for not finding it simple. After all, the layout and the pictures make me feel like I should find it simple. But I don't, so it must be me, right? I think it's tutorials like these that keep people on TortoiseSVN.
