I would be grateful for your course. I've used git now for 3+ years and still don't feel like I understand Git's objects and data structures. Maybe it's because I didn't finish my PhD.
Finishing a PhD gives you bragging rights, but it doesn't make you any smarter! (Believe me, it took me 11 years to do mine... and I've got the bills and emotional scars to prove it!)
I might start to teach courses online at some point, but I'm right now so busy with in-person classes in Israel and China (with a bit in Europe probably happening soon) that I haven't had a chance to consider it. But hmm, maybe...
Meanwhile, see my above reply with some suggested resources to learn about and understand Git. I hope that they'll help.
Do a google video search for a presentation called "Git Happens" (by Jessica Kerr). The presenter does a really good job of digging into the data structures.

Take a look at Git from the inside out [1]

That's very helpful, thank you. I'm embarrassed I missed that this was linked from the 600 word intro essay, it's by the same author.
If you already have some familiarity with Git, you may find this 2-page reference poster[1] helpful if you need a cheatsheet at your desk.

Where is this from? It looks like one of Ange Albertini's posters.
I made it. Started out as a powerpoint and morphed into a poster.

You don't need a course. All you need is to watch the presentation "Git For Ages 4 And Up" https://youtu.be/1ffBJ4sVUb4?t=10m32s
