This project has begun in a 36 hour hackathon. My sole objective of building this is to better understand version control. I'm not trying to make a VCS that will replace everything that already exists - in fact it will only try to implement the most basic features. I will be referring to Eric Sink's blog in this effort.
I have successfully been able to implement the following:
- an
abhi-initscript to initialize a repository at a given directory - an
abhi-commitscript to commit changes - an
abhi-logscript to display the commits in a well ordered manner
If you run into issues while running the
abhi-commitscript... switch to linux 😅... or follow this
In the near future, I'll be trying to implement delta encryption (right now, I only copy all the files of the working directory recursively), staging areas, branches. Although .abhi is possibly the most crude attempt at a file versioning system, the hackathon has been a beautiful learning experience...and..I'm pretty sure this is going to be one of those repositories I'm going to be actively working on.
A side note to git from abhi
I know you're going to be watching me grow. One day I will be as great as you.
Do keep an eye on this repo. I promise to keep updating often.
Cheers!!
