My suggestion would be to not learn git. Go with just about any other version control system if you’re not using it professionally. I’ve used cvs, Subversion (svn), Perforce (p4), and others. Honestly, Subversion and Perforce were both significantly easier to setup, learn, and use than git. While they all have their growing pains, it took me about a week to get used to Perforce. It took me more like a month or two to get used to svn. I’ve been using git for years and still find it very hard to use and strongly dislike interacting with it.
