Sample text

To show that Git really hasn’t done very much with the content in the file (it’s still the same comforting “hello world”), you can use the hash to pull it back out of the object store any time you want: $ git cat-file -p 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad hello world Git also knows that 40 characters is a bit chancy to type by hand, so Git provides a command to look up objects by a unique prefix of the object hash: $ git rev-parse 3b18e512d 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad Files and Trees Now that the “hello world” blob is safely ensconced in the object store, what happens to its filename?

On the other hand, your commit does have the same tree. This is why commit objects are separate from their tree objects: different commits often refer to exactly the same tree. When that happens, Git is smart enough to transfer around only the new commit object—which is tiny—instead of the tree and blob objects, which are probably much larger. ) skip the low-level git write-tree and git commit-tree steps and just use the git commit command. You don’t need to remember all those plumbing commands to be a perfectly happy Git user.

Indeed, Git treats the name of a file as a piece of data that is distinct from the contents of that file. In this way, it separates “index” from “data” in the traditional database sense. It may help to look at Table 4-1, which roughly compares Git to other familiar systems. Table 4-1. git/objects/hash, tree object contents Blob objects, tree objects The names of files and directories come from the underlying filesystem, but Git does not really care about the names. Git merely records each pathname and makes sure it can accurately reproduce the files and directories from its content, which is indexed by hash value.
