CodeCrafters
In this challenge, you'll build a Git implementation that can initialize a
repository, create commits and clone a public repository from GitHub. Along the
way, you'll learn about the .git directory, Git objects (blobs, commits,
trees etc.), packfiles, Git's transfer protocols and much more.
Stages
Initialize the .git directory
< 5 minutes
In this stage, you'll implement the git init command. You'll initialize
a git repository by creating a .git directory and some files inside it.
Read a blob object
30m - 1h
In this stage, you'll read a blob from your git repository by fetching its
contents from the .git/objects directory.
You'll do this using the first of multiple "plumbing"
commands
we'll encounter in this challenge: git
cat-file.

Found out about CodeCrafters from a colleague. It's a tutorial site that has you build your own version of things
like Git and Docker from scratch. A cool way to build a stronger mental model of how those tools work.
