Having recently switch to using Git and GitHub for a significant proportion of my own work, I was recommended Pro Git by a technically knowledgeable friend of mine. It didn't disappoint at all.
Pro Git is a well written and informative tutorial on getting the most out of Git in your projects. What's more, it provides an excellent reference resource once you've read it. I really can't praise it enough; it provides the perfect companion to the extensive online documentation for Git--and also includes plenty of explanatory information into the overall workings of Git to aid your understanding of potential work flows.
If you're going to be using Git for absolutely anything, you should definitely purchase this book. It's fantastic.

As a complete newbie to Git and running Windows I was looking for a book that would help me configure and get Git running as soon as possible.
This book helped me pick the version of Git to use (mysysgit) and get it configured and ready for use.
When ready to use it the book then explained how branching, merging, remote repsoitories, etc work and how to get Git to do what you need it to do.

Written by an expert in the field, "Pro Git" is a book with a misleading title, but in a good sense. It's useful not only to pro-level users of Git but also to newbies.
The first four chapters act as introduction/tutorial for a lower level of using Git. This part is especially useful for someone coming from different systems, like Subversion.
The rest of the book takes you on using Git at a higher level.
The book focuses on functionality first and on internals second. It exhibits excellent explanations and intuitive use cases. It is nicely illustrated, just enough to make the point.
Having an expert on anything to be also a good teacher on that field is rare. Scott Chacon has succeeded in being both.
