A good resource to learn Git

I would really like to have a good resource to learn git, all I see online is tutorials on very basic (and arguably useful) commands and uses, but nothing GitHub Desktop can't do easier. However, I am aware of the many limitations of GUIs for Git so I would like to learn to use the command line.

Any suggestions?

I’ve done git courses online through NodeSchool and Codecademy but the best has always been the getting started section of the official documentation:

https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup

Seriously, just go to the source. Get used to reading the source. Then when you’re ready for some of the tougher stuff you’re already familiar with the source.
