I agree with sjburt when he says "I think once you understand the graph, then looking at what the graph looks like and what you want it to look like usually leads you to being able to figure out what operation you want." When I was first getting in to Git ~10 years ago, I remember that I found the PeepCode "Git Internals" book[1] very helpful for getting that understanding of the graph. Once you have the better understanding of the graph, it's hard to find resources on how to improve from there; most resources focus on beginner stuff, or function more as a technical reference without really talking about use-cases. I've found following Mark Dominus' blog[2] for his posts about Git to be the single best thing to "level up" my Git usage once already being at a high-level.
