Git is as complicated as you want it to be.



If you want to use it like SVN, then go right ahead. You will miss out a 
lot though. I always recommend newcomers to start out with the basic 4-5 
commands (same as SVN). Then as your confidence grows, introduce new Git 
functionality.

And contrary to what many may think, it is pretty near impossible to 
f*ck your repository up so that things are unrecoverable. As long as 
something was committed, that something can be recovered, or commands 
can be undone (yes, even deleted branches). Try that with SubVersion!
