In addition to what others have said, I would recommend to start with "The Git Parable" [1] - which is an ideal gentle, non-technical introduction to the concept of distributed version control systems, - and then read "Git from the Bottom Up" [2] and "Git for Computer Scientists" which has already been mentioned. 1. https://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html 2. https://jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-bottom-up/
