This is a starting point for Go 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 `cmd/mygit/main.go`. 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 `go` installed locally
1. Run `./your_git.sh` to run your Git implementation, which is implemented in
`cmd/mygit/main.go`.
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
```
