It is generally worth to configure git system first. Useful tips can be  
found here:

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Git/Configuration

My .gitconfig is as follows:

[user]
	name = Yuri Chornoivan
	email = yurchor at ukr.net
[color]
	ui = true
[url "git://anongit.kde.org/"]
     insteadOf = kde:
[url "git at git.kde.org:"]
     pushInsteadOf = kde:
[alias]
	ci = commit
	up = pull --rebase
         co = checkout

Then you can do as follows:

1. Initial checkout:

git clone kde:kmymoney

2. Update:

git up

3. Commit:

git ci -m "Fix this world." -a

4. Push:

git push

5. View the list of branches:

git branch

6. Switch the branch:

git co <branch_name>

7. Create the patch (for master):

git format-patch origin/master

These commands give me absolutely everything I need for everyday tasks.  
Sure it is good to start ssh-agent beforehand (just an example):

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Yuri
