The famous "Git Parable" is pretty metaphoric and contains precisely zero console juggling.
On a more serious note, I reckon most guides show Git console commands simply to demonstrate the concepts being discussed; so take any guide and ignore the commands.
Having said that, I find the following guides to be of very high quality while mostly focusing on concepts rather than commands:
- "Git concepts simplified" (by the way, written by the author of
gitolite
).
- "Git for computer scientists".
- "Git from the bottom up".
