It seems there have already been several links to resources, but I'd like
to add one more that's been around for a long time now, but I think is
still underutilized--I found it great even when I was relatively new to
git, and trying to understand git branching and rebasing better:

https://learngitbranching.js.org/

It won't necessarily be of immediate help planning a SWC-style *lesson* on
the subject, but I have often given this tutorial to students who were
eager to learn more, to go through it self-directed.  It's quite good for
that I think.

Best,
Madison

https://swcarpentry.github.io/git-novice/guide/index.html . I would like to
continue with a Carpentry-style approach that uses live coding, frequent
formative assessment (including exercises with solutions), making mistakes
and working through them, incremental diagram presentation, and so on, as
in
http://third-bit.com/2019/06/15/10-quick-tips-for-delivering-a-programming-lesson.html
. Is anyone aware of such a lesson, covering branches and GitHub pull
requests? Or is anyone working on one? I'm aware of some resources but
haven't found anything that is quite what I am looking for:
