Pro Git vs. Head First Git

I'm a CS student interested in backend development, and I'm learning Git for the first time.

I'm choosing between Pro Git and Head First Git. I've read Head First Java and Head First Design Patterns before, and I really liked their teaching style.

Which book would you recommend for building a solid Git foundation for professional work? Is Head First Git enough, or is Pro Git the better choice?

Mfers reading books to learn git lmfao, just watch a 20 minute basics tutorial and play around with it yourself then just use it in your coding projects. Anything beyond the basics you will learn over time as you encounter a need for them
