This repository serves as a starting point for the open-source solution to the "Build Your Own Git".

In this project, I'm building "Groot," a lightweight version control system that mirrors the functionality of Git. Groot will be able to initialize a repository, create commits, and clone public repositories, just like Git. Through this, we'll explore the intricacies of version control systems, including the .groot directory, version control objects (blobs, commits, trees), and the transfer protocols that enable repository cloning and management.

To test locally, the your_program.sh script should operate on the .git folder inside the current working directory.

You can initialize a new Groot repository using the following command:

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


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

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