This could have been googled. I guess that is why someone -ve repped the question. I googled "Git Glossary" and this was the first result -

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitglossary.html

It explains most of what you are asking.

http://ndpsoftware.com/git-cheatsheet.html is a great reference too.

This first thing that is important to understand about Git is that it thinks about version control very differently than Subversion or Perforce or whatever SCM you may be used to. It is often easier to learn Git by trying to forget your assumptions about how version control works and try to think about it in the Git way.
