Here are some published resources about Git.

Man pages

Each git command is documented in its own man page. If the man pages are installed on your local system running:

$ man git-log

will give you the man page for the git log command.

Alternatively you can use (especially on systems where there is no man command):

$ git help log

if both git and the git man pages are installed on your system.

git(7) serves as an overview of git commands and man pages.

Online versions of the Git man pages corresponding to the latest development version can be found at:

There also exists a handful of technical documents that describes lowlevel details on how different parts of git operates. These are mostly useful for developers. You can find them in the Documentation/technical directory in the git source tree.
