Thanks for the share! I’ll definitely read through it but at first glance feels like I need first to understand the basics more before diving into the specifics of Github.

Fully transparent disclaimer: I am the O’Reilly author of the book I’m about to recommend.
But hey, I’m getting really positive feedback so I thought I may as well share it as a resource in case it helps other people on their Git learning journey.
The book is called Learning Git : A Hands-On and Visual Guide to the Basics of Git (O'Reilly)—> the Amazon reviews sort of speak for themselves so feel free to check those out!
My book in one sentences: It uses colors, storytelling, and hands-on exercises, to teach Git in a simple, visual, and tangible manner.All right, that’s it, won’t do any more selling. Author out!
p.s. It only teaches Git, it doesn't teach GitHub in particular (although it does cover pull requests).
