Youtube Summary
Join GitHub trainer and evangelist Tim Berglund for a look at Git, from the bits up. This talk is not for the Git beginner, but a more advanced look at "weird internals stuff" and obscure commands that will reveal a sort of internal API that is there for you to use and help expose you to certain intrinsic software design insights that can be had from looking at Git at this level.

"If you want to be that person on the team that's like the Git Weirdo...you're gonna need to know this stuff." - Tim Berglund

I didn't watch the video but I've gone through that guide you linked, it's excellent but I don't think it's a great comparison. It only implements a handful of commands and doesn't go into the same amount detail. The Building Git book goes way more into the interesting bits.

My whole point was it is way easier than one thinks and there are good free resources available. Once you do the basic of git filesystem , object storage and sha basics implementing the rest of the API is trivial in comparison.

It's true that you can find most content somewhere freely available in various disparate corners of the web and everything is trivial if you have the info... but that's a strange reason to automatically reject a book you haven't read.
Cool. For me it is this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYP56QJpDr4

I notice they are from the same publisher.

For anyone looking for a video/demo on this, here's a great presentation by Tim Berglund - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYP56QJpDr4
