Confronting the Git Versioning Control System

Git is a version control system written by Linus Torvalds for tracking software changes.  The word “git” doesn't mean much other than British slang for unpleasant person.  Linus Torvalds remarked, “I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'”. I've known about “git” for some time now but I've never had the desire to confront it.  But most recently while watching a series of programming tutorials the instructor gave a lengthy video covering the basics of “git”.  I was tempted to skip it but I thought it would be better to watch and maintain the flow of the tutorial series.  I'm very glad I did. I downloaded the “git” installer package from https://git-scm.com/downloads and ran the executable. Since I'm somewhat of a GUI fanatic whenever possible, I thought it would be a good idea to install a front-end GUI to work with “git”.  I choose “Git Extensions” which can be downloaded from this site:
