About The Project

Just rewriting Git with Python. Why?

1. Is fun
2. To finally get it
   
   

Classes

GitRepository

1. Description: the repository object
2. Attributes:
   • worktree: the work tree is the path where the files that are meant to be in version control are
   • gitdir: the git directory is the path where git stores its own data. Usually is a child directory of the work tree, called .git
   • conf: is an instance of the class ConfigParser, from the external module configparser, used to read and write INI configuration files

GitObject

1. Description: base class that abstracts the common features of different object types (e.g., blob, commit, tag or tree)
2. Attributes:
   • init: will be used by the derived class to create a new empty object if needed (optional)
   • eserialize: will be used by the derived class to convert the data into an object (mandatory)
   • serialize: will be used by the derived class to convert the object into a meaningful representation (mandatory)
     
     

Getting Started

Pre-requisites

• Python version 3.10 or higher along with your favorite text editor. We won’t need third party packages or virtualenvs, or anything besides a regular Python interpreter: everything we need is in Python’s standard library.
