This is a starting point for Rust solutions to the "Build Your Own Git" Challenge.
In this challenge, you'll build a small Git implementation that's capable of
initializing a repository, creating commits and cloning a public repository.
Along the way we'll learn about the .git directory, Git objects (blobs,
commits, trees etc.), Git's transfer protocols and more.
Note: If you're viewing this repo on GitHub, head over to codecrafters.io to signup for early access.
- Ensure you have
cargo (1.54)installed locally - Run
./your_git.shto run your Git implementation, which is implemented insrc/main.rs. This command compiles your Rust project, so it might be slow the first time you run it. Subsequent runs will be fast. - Commit your changes and run
git push origin masterto submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.
The your_git.sh script is expected to operate on the .git folder inside the
current working directory. If you're running this inside the root of this
repository, you might end up accidentally damaging your repository's .git
folder.
We suggest executing your_git.sh in a different folder when testing locally.
For example:
mkdir -p /tmp/testing && cd /tmp/testing
/path/to/your/repo/your_git.sh initTo make this easier to type out, you could add a shell alias:
alias mygit=/path/to/your/repo/your_git.sh
mkdir -p /tmp/testing && cd /tmp/testing
mygit initCodeCrafters runs tests when you do a git push. Make an empty commit and push
your solution to see the first stage fail.
git commit --allow-empty -m "Running tests"
git push origin masterYou should see a failure message that says the .git directory wasn't
initialized.
Go to src/main.rs and uncomment the implementation for the init command.
Commit and push your changes to pass the first stage:
git add .
git commit -m "pass the first stage"
git push origin masterTime to move on to the next stage!
