The Git command line can be accessed under Windows Explorer with the "Git Bash" context menu entry, and from Git Extensions with the menu "Git -> Git bash" or Ctrl-G. You can shorten commonly used commands by adding aliases to the main configuration file, probably located at "C:\Users\your user name\.gitconfig". Some of the relevant ones that I use are listed below:
When typing a git command you can press tab to auto complete or show the list of possible completions.
Refer to an existing git tutorial on the internet for command line usage: it is more powerful for advanced users, but I don't expect there will be enough people wanting to use it for making a specific PW tutorial to be worthwhile.
