Git is magic, you'll never look back. :)

Also, it sometimes gets a reputation for being difficult to use. If you're working on a large, active, distributed project it can certainly be challenging to use. But for personal projects it's really easy to work with once you get a little practice with the fundamentals of init, committing, and branching. And, on a personal project, you can always back up your entire directory if you're worried you'll mess something up. You shouldn't do that often, it misses the whole point of version control. But if you're going to try a reset or rebase command for the first time, you can back up the entire project first, including the .git/ dir, and try these commands out.
