Gitlet is a simplified version control system inspired by Git, implemented in C++ and using the Boost library for serialization and testing. This project aims to provide a basic understanding of how version control systems like Git work under the hood.
- Basic version control functionalities:
init,add,commit,log, etc. - Simplified handling of branches and merges.
- Serialization of objects using Boost for persistent storage.
- Boost-powered unit tests to ensure reliability.
- C++ compiler supporting C++17
- Boost library (at least version 1.65)
- CMake (version 3.10 or higher)
