Introduction
Hi! Welcome to Build And Learn Git With PHP tutorial.
Git is one of the most powerful tools for developers, but have you ever stopped to wonder how it really works? in this tutorial we'll dive deep into Git and learn how it works under the hood by implementing some of Git commands our selfs using PHP.
“What I cannot build. I do not understand.”
-Richard Feynman
In this tutorial, we'll implement:
- init
- hash-object
- cat-file
- write-tree
- ls-tree
- add
- ls-files
- commit
- log
By building these commands, you’ll gain an in-depth understanding of how Git operates at its core.
While we’ll explain each command and its functionality as we go, having a basic familiarity with Git’s main commands and concepts will make this journey smoother and more rewarding.
I encourage you to try building the commands yourself first. Although the first two or three commands might be challenging, as you move forward in this project, you will find the rest of the commands are just repetitive work.
Let’s get started and bring Git to life with PHP!
