If it helps at all I just installed SmartGit, and use that rather than
getting involved in anything on the command line - works just fine at
creating and using local repositories as well as web ones such as
SourceForge. Not quite self-explanatory, but the help is good and it's all
fairly straightforward. I am used to using a variety of different version
control software though (CVS, SVN etc.), so it may be a little more tricky
if you're not.
