Decoding Git Guidebook for Developers: Learn How Git's Code Works
Welcome to the world of Git! "Decoding Git" will take you through every essential component of Git's codebase, allowing you to truly understand how Git works under the hood.
Decoding Git will teach you everything you need to know about Git's original version, which was written by Linux creator Linus Torvalds in 2005.
This guidebook is perfect for those who are passionate about software development and Git, and are looking to take their skills to the next level; junior and senior developers, team leads, CTOs, curious Git users, open-source contributors, and anyone who wants to learn Git.
In "Decoding Git," you’ll dive deep into Git's original C code to learn what makes Git tick. You will begin with an introduction to Git's code and an overview of its original version. You will then learn how to install Git's original version and the essential commands you need to know to work with Git. You will then examine each of Git's core components, including the C code cache.h, read-cache.c, init-db.c, update-cache.c, write-tree.c, commit-tree.c, read-tree.c, cat-file.c, and show-diff.c
With only about 1,000 lines of code and seven commands, Git's original version is the ideal codebase for you to research to understand how the code works.
By the end of this programming book, you’ll have a deep understanding of Git's original version and will be able to use this knowledge to enhance your Git skills and take your software development to the next level.

Decoding Git: A Guidebook for Developers" offers a thorough and insightful exploration of Git that made my journey through the tool much clearer. One of the most enlightening parts for me was when the book dove into Git’s initial commit, which is about 1,000 lines of code. Seeing this firsthand gave me a deeper appreciation for the thought and design decisions that went into creating Git. It was fascinating to explore how such a compact yet powerful tool started with just a relatively small chunk of code, providing valuable context and insights into Git's evolution.
What truly stood out during my reading experience was the hands-on approach. I coded along with the book, creating my own mini version of Git. This exercise helped solidify the theoretical concepts by allowing me to implement them in a real, working example. As I built my simplified version of Git, it gave me a clearer understanding of how Git manages commits, branches, and merges. This practical approach helped me see the inner workings of the tool and deepened my understanding in ways that purely theoretical explanations never could.
