Python Git Clone

Check out the awesome codecrafters.

Usage

This solely uses the Python standard library, so there are no dependancies but Python 3.x. To try it out:

git clone https://github.com/chammaaomar/make-your-own-git.git
cd make-your-own-git
./your_git.sh -h

will display the commands that have been implemented thus far with (hopefully) helpful usage messages. The main commands are

init
cat-file: Works with trees and blobs. Currently requires the full 40-char SHA-1.
hash-object
ls-tree: Currently only works with the --name-only option, and requires the full 40-char SHA-1.
write-tree
commit-tree

You can use ./your_git cmd -h, where cmd is one of the above, for command-specific help, e.g.

>>> ./your_git cat-file -h
>>> usage: your_git.sh cat-file [-h] (-p | -t | -s) object

positional arguments:
  object      sha-1 digest of object

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -p          pretty-print object's content
  -t          print the object's type
  -s          print the object's size
