+# Quick git-primer for sd users
+
+There few important conceptual differences with **sd**.
+This list tries to bridge the gap
+
+* When you do `git commit` changes are stored in your local clone of the repo. 
+To Submit them, you need to do `git push`.
+* Forks are just a way to store branches. 
+You can push branch to the original repo (if you have permissions) or to the fork. 
+There is no principal difference.
+* Most of the git complications come from the fact that you need to do integrations by yourself.
+
