Here's a great walk through for how Git works from the bottom up: https://jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-bottom-up/ https://jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-bottom-up/ It's short, easy to understand and you'll understand HEAD.

That's a great resource but I find it too theoretical as a primer; to me, I need to understand git some already before the paper makes sense. Whereas the following article is more "Lego Duplo" conceptually and helped me wrap my head around the relations between git abstractions much better, http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/pr01.html http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/pr01.htm... (I found it from another HN thread earlier this month.)
