I was inspired to write this by a [Cloudflare guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/framework-guides/deploy-a-hugo-site/) on how to use Hugo with Cloudflare Pages. The guide is generally just fine, but it explicitly assumes a "fundamental understanding" of Git without it being very clear what that means. They go on to provide example git commands that have an error, trying to push before the first commit. For a beginner with "fundamental understanding", that sort of thing is pretty confusing.

Git is a powerful beast with a lot of possibilities, so much so that it can be very difficult for a newcomer to figure out where to get started. I’m going to ignore that entirely and explain what you absolutely have to know to use Git for solo projects, possibly with a few extra bits. If you want to collaborating with others there is a bunch of other stuff to learn, but once you are comfortable with what a Git repository looks like and how you can examine it you have a foundation to build on.

I've written this guide for Windows because that is in some ways the most awkward OS to set up. Most stuff should translate nicely to whatever platform you are on.
