[![progress-banner](https://backend.codecrafters.io/progress/git/659b7835-eccc-49fd-9c11-5df534bd3d4e)](https://app.codecrafters.io/users/codecrafters-bot?r=2qF)

This is a starting point for Python 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 `app/main.py`. Study and

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

```sh

git commit -am "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 `python` installed locally

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

   in `app/main.py`.

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_program.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_program.sh` in a different folder when testing

locally. For example:

```sh

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

/path/to/your/repo/your_program.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_program.sh

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

mygit init

```
