Deep Dive Into Git

" summary

Explains how Git stores a full snapshot per commit using SHA-1 hashes as 40‑char IDs, with commits pointing to trees and blobs (trees = directories, blobs = files) saved under .git/objects; branches are lightweight refs in .git/refs/heads and HEAD is just a pointer; shows git cat-file, ls-tree and ls-files to inspect objects and the index; demonstrates merges, fast‑forward merges, and rebases, and mentions a reimplementation called ligit 2 as a library alternative.
