I am new to git.
Last night, I read the first three or so chapters of "Pro Git":
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
It has already been incredibly helpful, in terms of understanding the conceptual underpinnings of git, and how to use it in practice.
I haven't read anything else yet about git, so I can't offer a comparative perspective, but so far it treads that fine line between "too simple" and "too complicated" really well.
I love a good manual for software.
