Git - my implmementation of some git commands (WIP)

This is a simple implementation of some git commands in Rust. It is a work in progress and currently supports the following commands:

• init: Initialize a new git repository
• cat-file: Display the content of a file in the git object database
• hash-object: Compute the object ID of a file and optionally store it in the git object database
• ls-tree: List the contents of a tree object
• write-tree: Create a tree object from the current index

Installation

1. Make sure you have Rust installed. You can install it from here.
2. Install with cargo:

   cargo install git-rust
   

3. After installation, you can run the commands using:

   git-rust <command> [args]
   

Example

# Initialize a new git repository
git-rust init

# Create a new file
echo "Hello, World!" > hello.txt

# Compute the object ID of the file and store it in the git object database
git-rust hash-object -w hello.txt

# Display the content of the file in the git object database
git-rust cat-file -p <object-id>

# List the contents of the tree object
git-rust ls-tree <tree-object-id>

# Create a tree object from the current index
git-rust write-tree
