There are different sections of the man pages:

1  General commands
2  System calls
3  C library functions
4  Special files (usually devices, those found in /dev) and drivers
5  File formats and conventions
6  Games and screensavers
7  Miscellanea
8  System administration commands and daemons

git(1) would be explaining the usage of the command, gittutorial(7) would be miscellaneous information.
