If you decide to give Git one more shot, you might enjoy John Wiegley's Git from the Bottom Up (https://jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-bottom-up/ https://jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-bottom-up/). It didn't teach me how to use Git, but it did teach me how Git works, and that was key to solidifying my own knowledge. As others have mentioned, the version control space has been effectively monopolized by Git. Mercurial offers roughly the same data model with a better interface, but you're still fighting an uphill battle with limited tooling support, etc. Fossil is notable for being the SCM used to develop SQLite, but again, it's relatively unknown outside of that space.
