First, I would recommend to read a good and pragmatic book about Git
like https://progit.org/ This helps to get the fundamentals of the
decentralized approach (repositories, clones, branches, working
directories, topic branches) and also enough hands-on to get started.
Further, you should make yourself familiar with the "Centralized
repository with topic branches" work flow as we use it for Genode. See
http://git-scm.com/docs/gitworkflows or
http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Distributed-Workflows.
Please don't recoil from creating a scratch repo at GitHub to test
what you learned.

After that your questions above should be answered already. If not
don't hesitate to join some public forum about Git and ask the experts
there.

Regards
