- Happy Git and GitHub for the useR
- General Git resources I consult the most
- Git for Humans is a great set of slides by Alice Bartlett, originally delivered in 2016 at UX Brighton.
- Git in Practice by Mike McQuaid is a very approachable and practical book, probably better than Pro Git for most people starting out. Ancillary materials on GitHub.
- The book Pro Git is fantastic and comprehensive. I consult the online version as a reference.
