This is a starting point for Rust solutions to the

["Build Your Own Git" Challenge](https://codecrafters.io/challenges/git).

In this challenge, you'll build a small Git implementation that's capable of

initializing a repository, creating commits and cloning a public repository.

Along the way we'll learn about the `.git` directory, Git objects (blobs,

commits, trees etc.), Git's transfer protocols and more.

**Note**: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to

[codecrafters.io](https://codecrafters.io) to try the challenge.

# Passing the first stage

The entry point for your Git implementation is in `src/main.rs`. Study and

uncomment the relevant code, and push your changes to pass the first stage:

```sh

git add .

git commit -m "pass 1st stage" # any msg

git push origin master

```

That's all!

# Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

1. Ensure you have `cargo (1.54)` installed locally

1. Run `./your_git.sh` to run your Git implementation, which is implemented in

   `src/main.rs`. This command compiles your Rust project, so it might be slow

   the first time you run it. Subsequent runs will be fast.

1. Commit your changes and run `git push origin master` to submit your solution

   to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.

# Testing 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 your repository's `.git`

folder.

We suggest executing `your_git.sh` in a different folder when testing locally.

For example:

```sh

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](https://shapeshed.com/unix-alias/):

```sh

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

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

mygit init

```
