 = checkout =
 
+To check out a repo:
+
+{{{ git checkout git://github.com/leto/parrot.git }}}
+
+There should now be a directory called "parrot" in your current directory.
+
 = commit =
+
+Next we modify a file so we can commit a change:
+
+{{{ echo "Some junk" >> README }}}
+
+To see a list of modifies files:
+
+{{{ git status }}}
+
+should produce something like
+
+{{{
+# On branch master
+# Changed but not updated:
+#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+#
+#       modified:   README
+#
+
+}}}
+
+To commit all local changes:
+{{{
+git commit -a -m "I did some stuff"
+}}}
+
+If you had multiple changed files that you wanted to commit seperately, you would do 
+{{{
+git add README
+git commit -m "I commit stuff"
+}}}
+LESSON: Git only commits files you have added already. The -a flag lets you be lazy and say "go ahead and add all modified files" when you are commiting.
