A few great resources are missing from that big list at the bottom:

Git internals PDF (Scott Chacon) http://peepcode.com/products/git-internals-pdf

"Getting Git" screencast (Scott Chacon) http://blip.tv/scott-chacon/git-talk-4113729

Interactive Git cheatsheet (Andrew Peterson, NDP Software) http://www.ndpsoftware.com/git-cheatsheet.html

I loved the "Git Internals" PDF by Scott Chacon (github) probably not targeted for "Beginners" but a good read nonetheless.

To me the single best resource for really building a mental model of git (and not just learning how to do a handful of 'cookbook' actions) is the git user manual: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/user-manual....

Once I read that, I never had to look at any git intro tutorials again.

What really helped me understand Git was this 2-part tutorial that uses Gitk to show how your commits and merges work.

Part 1 - http://lostechies.com/joshuaflanagan/2010/09/03/use-gitk-to-...

Part 2 - http://lostechies.com/joshuaflanagan/2010/09/03/use-gitk-to-...

I'm surprised how few tutorials mention Gitk.
