I am a fan of learning by practice. This book helps you master the core Git/GitHub concepts by doing it in a step-by-step practical way. The book is written in simple English and is therefore recommended for beginners from all walks of life. The author uses real-life simple examples the reader can easily relate to, making it easy to get going. I recommend it for beginner and intermediate developers because it helps you to lay the foundations nicely, thereby setting you up for more high-level scenarios.
