It is especially  when you have to do 'merge' and friends.

I'll try to start a wiki page, so just short answers below.

You need to push to a public repo so git can do a PR.

When you clone 'origin' is where this clone comes from.

One PR should be for one 'thing'.  Have a look at some of the PR's, some 
contain a one line change, others have changes in many files which where 
done with many commits.

It does, but the learning curve is much higher then with SVN or CVS.  I 
have used both for my own stuff and it was not a nice experience, with 
git or hg/mercurial ones you have things set up it is easy and much much 
more powerful/flexible.

I am a little dev, just doing all this as a hobby and it took a bit to 
learn but I wouldn't go back to SVN/CVS for my own stuff.

Maybe I am not the best to explain, but I'll give it a go on the wiki 
and then others can correct me and/or provide simple versions.
