About the Project

This is a finished Python implementation for the "Build Your Own Git" Challenge. This code implements functionality for all stages (and extensions) of the challenge as of 2025-02-13.

What git Commands Are Implemented?

• init
• cat-file
• hash-object
• ls-tree
• write-tree
• commit-tree (author and committer are hardcoded, message is not)
• clone

Running Locally

The your_git.sh script is expected to operate on the .git folder inside the current working directory. If you're running this inside the root of this repository, you might end up accidentally damaging the repository's .git folder.

It is recommended to execute your_git.sh in a different folder when running locally. For example:

mkdir -p /tmp/testing && cd /tmp/testing
/path/to/your/repo/your_git.sh init

To make this easier to type out, you could add a shell alias:

alias mygit=/path/to/your/repo/your_git.sh

mkdir -p /tmp/testing && cd /tmp/testing
mygit init
