Concepts

• Blobs -> An opaque construct that contains a version of a file's content. It does not contain the file's name or any other metadata

• Trees -> Record blob identifiers, pathnames, file metadata, etc, for files in a directory

• Commits -> Every time a change is made to the repository, a commit object is created containing the metadata the fully describes the change

• Tag -> These assign human-friendly names to those horrendously long hexadecimal numbers

Content

• Faster as it compares the 160-bit identifiers, rather than actually comparing the blobs

• A commit is a local process, saving the current state of your working project files in your local repository

• Publishing means sharing your changes

Forking

• When someone taks the entire project and goes off in another direction (also branching)

Bisect

• Can use git bisect bad to jump back to see if the bad code is present

• git bisect good -> continues until you find the bad code

• git bisect reset -> reset to current working state

Merging

• Two changes, allows you to combine, or override changes into one
