I am new to git .Can someone explain in simple terms what git fetch,git
merge and git rebase do?..I tried googling but was very confused after going
thro it.

Also, can someone prescribe a link which explains git in detail right from
scratch.

RFTM, with all respect ))

More hints:

 - "man git" (or "git help git") has some hints to get started:
   . a tutorial
   . a list of "everyday git" commands to get going
   . a short article on centralized, cvs-style workflow
   . a user's manual

 - when anything is unclear in those documents, I will be very happy
   to learn about it (so cc me in that case :)).  Please be specific
   as possible about what is confusing.

 - people on this mailing list and the #git channel on freenode are
   generally happy to help if you are trying to do something
   specific (or have some other specific question).

 - there's much material on the web in addition to what's mentioned
   above.  For example the old git crash course for svn users at
   http://git.or.cz/course/svn.html taught me a lot about both git and
   svn.  Theoretically, good material from a variety of sources can
   gradually flow into the user's manual and reference manual pages,
   though actual practice does not always match that theory.

Good luck.
