Comments
The Lightsaber tutorial by Flipped Normals is probably the best beginners tutorial overall.
How many are broken with a Blender update?
@Margrave thanks for suggestion will added to the list . @Brainmuffin I`ll adding info about Blender version for each link so people can pickup which one they needed . Thanks for remind me about that
No worries, mate. I've stumbled on broken tutorials way too often. I never cease to be amazed what things will change from version to version.
Just update with 3D cursor for aid props and temporary RIg`s pivot rotation ( useful for posing your DAZ figure )
Updated with easy to follow but powerful GeoNode Tutorial by All THe works

Maybe this Beginners Guide to Rigging by Dikko may be interesting to understand how the mesh and the bones/joints work together and are displayed in Blender. They should work with newer versions as well.

Dikko provides some other more advanced tutorial series as well, but they may be overwhelming for beginners.
Multiple videos specifically for those interested in animation of G8 Characters ,in Blender after diffeo import.
Both body ,face and retargeting of Mixamo motions.
