Hi Andrew,

(apologies if I've lost context; please disregard my message below in
that case).

I wrote the following wiki article originally in 2016:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Laszlo's-unkempt-git-guide-for-edk2-contributors-and-maintainers

I wrote it specifically for developers & maintainers with no (or almost
no) prior git / mailing list experience. Multiple developers confirmed
later that the article had helped them.

Thanks
Laszlo
