+Learning git
+------------
+
+git is an interesting and very powerful tool. Like all powerful
+tools, it has a learning curve.
+
+If you're new to git, we highly recommend the following resources for
+getting the hang of it:
+
+* `Learn Git <http://learn.github.com/p/intro.html>`_ --- the GitHub
+ intro to git
+* `Pro Git <http://progit.org/book/>`_ --- fantastic book
+* `Git casts <http://gitcasts.com/>`_ --- screencast covering git
+ usage
+* `Git Reference <http://gitref.org/>`_ --- Git reference that makes
+ it easier to get the hang of git if you're coming from other version
+ control systems
+
+There's also a git mission at `OpenHatch <http://openhatch.org/>`_.
+
+
+Learning other utilities
+------------------------
+
+The `OpenHatch <http://openhatch.org/>`_ site has a series of
+`training missions <http://openhatch.org/missions/>`_ which are
+designed to help you learn how to use these tools.
+
+If you're new to tar, diff, patch and git, we highly recommend you sign
+up with OpenHatch and do the missions.
