-    <h1>10.2 Git Internals - Git Objects</h1>
-  <div>
-<h2 id="_objects">Git Objects</h2>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Git is a content-addressable filesystem.
-Great.
-What does that mean?
-It means that at the core of Git is a simple key-value data store.
-What this means is that you can insert any kind of content into a Git repository, for which Git will hand you back a unique key you can use later to retrieve that content.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>As a demonstration, let’s look at the plumbing command <code>git hash-object</code>, which takes some data, stores it in your <code>.git/objects</code> directory (the <em>object database</em>), and gives you back the unique key that now refers to that data object.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>First, you initialize a new Git repository and verify that there is (predictably) nothing in the <code>objects</code> directory:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git init test
-Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/
-$ cd test
-$ find .git/objects
-.git/objects
-.git/objects/info
-.git/objects/pack
-$ find .git/objects -type f</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Git has initialized the <code>objects</code> directory and created <code>pack</code> and <code>info</code> subdirectories in it, but there are no regular files.
-Now, let’s use <code>git hash-object</code> to create a new data object and manually store it in your new Git database:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ echo 'test content' | git hash-object -w --stdin
-d670460b4b4aece5915caf5c68d12f560a9fe3e4</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>In its simplest form, <code>git hash-object</code> would take the content you handed to it and merely return the unique key that <em>would</em> be used to store it in your Git database.
-The <code>-w</code> option then tells the command to not simply return the key, but to write that object to the database.
-Finally, the <code>--stdin</code> option tells <code>git hash-object</code> to get the content to be processed from stdin; otherwise, the command would expect a filename argument at the end of the command containing the content to be used.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>The output from the above command is a 40-character checksum hash.
-This is the SHA-1 hash — a checksum of the content you’re storing plus a header, which you’ll learn about in a bit.
-Now you can see how Git has stored your data:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ find .git/objects -type f
-.git/objects/d6/70460b4b4aece5915caf5c68d12f560a9fe3e4</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>If you again examine your <code>objects</code> directory, you can see that it now contains a file for that new content.
-This is how Git stores the content initially — as a single file per piece of content, named with the SHA-1 checksum of the content and its header.
-The subdirectory is named with the first 2 characters of the SHA-1, and the filename is the remaining 38 characters.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Once you have content in your object database, you can examine that content with the <code>git cat-file</code> command.
-This command is sort of a Swiss army knife for inspecting Git objects.
-Passing <code>-p</code> to <code>cat-file</code> instructs the command to first figure out the type of content, then display it appropriately:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git cat-file -p d670460b4b4aece5915caf5c68d12f560a9fe3e4
-test content</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Now, you can add content to Git and pull it back out again.
-You can also do this with content in files.
-For example, you can do some simple version control on a file.
-First, create a new file and save its contents in your database:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ echo 'version 1' &gt; test.txt
-$ git hash-object -w test.txt
-83baae61804e65cc73a7201a7252750c76066a30</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Then, write some new content to the file, and save it again:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ echo 'version 2' &gt; test.txt
-$ git hash-object -w test.txt
-1f7a7a472abf3dd9643fd615f6da379c4acb3e3a</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Your object database now contains both versions of this new file (as well as the first content you stored there):</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ find .git/objects -type f
-.git/objects/1f/7a7a472abf3dd9643fd615f6da379c4acb3e3a
-.git/objects/83/baae61804e65cc73a7201a7252750c76066a30
-.git/objects/d6/70460b4b4aece5915caf5c68d12f560a9fe3e4</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>At this point, you can delete your local copy of that <code>test.txt</code> file, then use Git to retrieve, from the object database, either the first version you saved:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git cat-file -p 83baae61804e65cc73a7201a7252750c76066a30 &gt; test.txt
-$ cat test.txt
-version 1</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>or the second version:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git cat-file -p 1f7a7a472abf3dd9643fd615f6da379c4acb3e3a &gt; test.txt
-$ cat test.txt
-version 2</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>But remembering the SHA-1 key for each version of your file isn’t practical; plus, you aren’t storing the filename in your system — just the content.
-This object type is called a <em>blob</em>.
-You can have Git tell you the object type of any object in Git, given its SHA-1 key, with <code>git cat-file -t</code>:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git cat-file -t 1f7a7a472abf3dd9643fd615f6da379c4acb3e3a

-</div>
-<div class="sect3">
-<h3 id="_tree_objects">Tree Objects</h3>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>The next type of Git object we’ll examine is the <em>tree</em>, which solves the problem of storing the filename and also allows you to store a group of files together.
-Git stores content in a manner similar to a UNIX filesystem, but a bit simplified.
-All the content is stored as tree and blob objects, with trees corresponding to UNIX directory entries and blobs corresponding more or less to inodes or file contents.
-A single tree object contains one or more entries, each of which is the SHA-1 hash of a blob or subtree with its associated mode, type, and filename.
-For example, let’s say you have a project where the most-recent tree looks something like:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ git cat-file -p master^{tree}

-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>The <code>master^{tree}</code> syntax specifies the tree object that is pointed to by the last commit on your <code>master</code> branch.
-Notice that the <code>lib</code> subdirectory isn’t a blob but a pointer to another tree:</p>

-<p>In CMD on Windows, the <code>^</code> character is used for escaping, so you have to double it to avoid this: <code>git cat-file -p master^^{tree}</code>.

-<p>You can fairly easily create your own tree.
-Git normally creates a tree by taking the state of your staging area or index and writing a series of tree objects from it.
-So, to create a tree object, you first have to set up an index by staging some files.
-To create an index with a single entry — the first version of your <code>test.txt</code> file — you can use the plumbing command <code>git update-index</code>.
-You use this command to artificially add the earlier version of the <code>test.txt</code> file to a new staging area.
-You must pass it the <code>--add</code> option because the file doesn’t yet exist in your staging area (you don’t even have a staging area set up yet) and <code>--cacheinfo</code> because the file you’re adding isn’t in your directory but is in your database.
-Then, you specify the mode, SHA-1, and filename:</p>

-<p>Amazing.
-You’ve just done the low-level operations to build up a Git history without using any of the front end commands.
-This is essentially what Git does when you run the <code>git add</code> and <code>git commit</code> commands — it stores blobs for the files that have changed, updates the index, writes out trees, and writes commit objects that reference the top-level trees and the commits that came immediately before them.
-These three main Git objects — the blob, the tree, and the commit — are initially stored as separate files in your <code>.git/objects</code> directory.
-Here are all the objects in the example directory now, commented with what they store:</p>

-<h3 id="_object_storage">Object Storage</h3>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>We mentioned earlier that there is a header stored with every object you commit to your Git object database.
-Let’s take a minute to see how Git stores its objects.
-You’ll see how to store a blob object — in this case, the string “what is up, doc?” — interactively in the Ruby scripting language.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>You can start up interactive Ruby mode with the <code>irb</code> command:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ irb
-&gt;&gt; content = "what is up, doc?"
-=&gt; "what is up, doc?"</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Git first constructs a header which starts by identifying the type of object — in this case, a blob.
-To that first part of the header, Git adds a space followed by the size in bytes  of the content, and adding a final null byte:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">&gt;&gt; header = "blob #{content.bytesize}\0"
-=&gt; "blob 16\u0000"</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Git concatenates the header and the original content and then calculates the SHA-1 checksum of that new content.
-You can calculate the SHA-1 value of a string in Ruby by including the SHA1 digest library with the <code>require</code> command and then calling <code>Digest::SHA1.hexdigest()</code> with the string:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">&gt;&gt; store = header + content
-=&gt; "blob 16\u0000what is up, doc?"
-&gt;&gt; require 'digest/sha1'
-=&gt; true
-&gt;&gt; sha1 = Digest::SHA1.hexdigest(store)
-=&gt; "bd9dbf5aae1a3862dd1526723246b20206e5fc37"</code></pre>
-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Let’s compare that to the output of <code>git hash-object</code>.
-Here we use <code>echo -n</code> to prevent adding a newline to the input.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">$ echo -n "what is up, doc?" | git hash-object --stdin

-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Git compresses the new content with zlib, which you can do in Ruby with the zlib library.
-First, you need to require the library and then run <code>Zlib::Deflate.deflate()</code> on the content:</p>
-</div>
-<div class="listingblock">
-<div class="content">
-<pre class="highlight"><code class="language-console" data-lang="console">&gt;&gt; require 'zlib'

-</div>
-</div>
-<div class="paragraph">
-<p>Finally, you’ll write your zlib-deflated content to an object on disk.
-You’ll determine the path of the object you want to write out (the first two characters of the SHA-1 value being the subdirectory name, and the last 38 characters being the filename within that directory).
-In Ruby, you can use the <code>FileUtils.mkdir_p()</code> function to create the subdirectory if it doesn’t exist.
-Then, open the file with <code>File.open()</code> and write out the previously zlib-compressed content to the file with a <code>write()</code> call on the resulting file handle:</p>

-<p>Let’s check the content of the object using <code>git cat-file</code>:</p>
