<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>You should work through <a href="gittutorial.html">gittutorial(7)</a> before reading this tutorial.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The goal of this tutorial is to introduce two fundamental pieces of
Git&#8217;s architecture&#8212;the object database and the index file&#8212;and to
provide the reader with everything necessary to understand the rest
of the Git documentation.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_the_git_object_database">The Git object database</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Let&#8217;s start a new project and create a small amount of history:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ mkdir test-project
$ cd test-project
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
$ echo 'hello world' &gt; file.txt
$ git add .
$ git commit -a -m "initial commit"
[master (root-commit) 54196cc] initial commit
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 file.txt
$ echo 'hello world!' &gt;file.txt
$ git commit -a -m "add emphasis"
[master c4d59f3] add emphasis
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>What are the 7 digits of hex that Git responded to the commit with?</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>We saw in part one of the tutorial that commits have names like this.
It turns out that every object in the Git history is stored under
a 40-digit hex name.  That name is the SHA-1 hash of the object&#8217;s
contents; among other things, this ensures that Git will never store
the same data twice (since identical data is given an identical SHA-1
name), and that the contents of a Git object will never change (since
that would change the object&#8217;s name as well). The 7 char hex strings
here are simply the abbreviation of such 40 character long strings.
Abbreviations can be used everywhere where the 40 character strings
can be used, so long as they are unambiguous.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>It is expected that the content of the commit object you created while
following the example above generates a different SHA-1 hash than
the one shown above because the commit object records the time when
it was created and the name of the person performing the commit.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>We can ask Git about this particular object with the <code>cat-file</code>
command. Don&#8217;t copy the 40 hex digits from this example but use those
from your own version. Note that you can shorten it to only a few
characters to save yourself typing all 40 hex digits:</p></div>

of the SHA-1 will also work):</p></div>

</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The tree object is the tree we examined first, and this commit is
unusual in that it lacks any parent.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Most commits have only one parent, but it is also common for a commit
to have multiple parents.   In that case the commit represents a
merge, with the parent references pointing to the heads of the merged
branches.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Besides blobs, trees, and commits, the only remaining type of object
is a "tag", which we won&#8217;t discuss here; refer to <a href="git-tag.html">git-tag(1)</a>
for details.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>So now we know how Git uses the object database to represent a
project&#8217;s history:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
"commit" objects refer to "tree" objects representing the
    snapshot of a directory tree at a particular point in the
    history, and refer to "parent" commits to show how they&#8217;re
    connected into the project history.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
"tree" objects represent the state of a single directory,
    associating directory names to "blob" objects containing file
    data and "tree" objects containing subdirectory information.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
"blob" objects contain file data without any other structure.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
References to commit objects at the head of each branch are
    stored in files under .git/refs/heads/.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The name of the current branch is stored in .git/HEAD.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note, by the way, that lots of commands take a tree as an argument.
But as we can see above, a tree can be referred to in many different
ways&#8212;by the SHA-1 name for that tree, by the name of a commit that
refers to the tree, by the name of a branch whose head refers to that
tree, etc.--and most such commands can accept any of these names.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In command synopses, the word "tree-ish" is sometimes used to
designate such an argument.</p></div>
</div>

<h2 id="_the_index_file">The index file</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>The primary tool we&#8217;ve been using to create commits is <code>git-commit
-a</code>, which creates a commit including every change you&#8217;ve made to
your working tree.  But what if you want to commit changes only to
certain files?  Or only certain changes to certain files?</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If we look at the way commits are created under the cover, we&#8217;ll see
that there are more flexible ways creating commits.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Continuing with our test-project, let&#8217;s modify file.txt again:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ echo "hello world, again" &gt;&gt;file.txt</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>but this time instead of immediately making the commit, let&#8217;s take an
intermediate step, and ask for diffs along the way to keep track of
what&#8217;s happening:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git diff

+++ b/file.txt
@@ -1 +1,2 @@

+hello world, again
$ git add file.txt
$ git diff</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The last diff is empty, but no new commits have been made, and the
head still doesn&#8217;t contain the new line:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git diff HEAD

+hello world, again</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>So <em>git diff</em> is comparing against something other than the head.
The thing that it&#8217;s comparing against is actually the index file,
which is stored in .git/index in a binary format, but whose contents
we can examine with ls-files:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">

<div class="paragraph"><p>So by default <em>git commit</em> uses the index to create the commit, not
the working tree; the "-a" option to commit tells it to first update
the index with all changes in the working tree.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Finally, it&#8217;s worth looking at the effect of <em>git add</em> on the index
file:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ echo "goodbye, world" &gt;closing.txt
$ git add closing.txt</code></pre>

<div class="paragraph"><p>The "status" command is a useful way to get a quick summary of the
situation:</p></div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code>$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD &lt;file&gt;..." to unstage)
#
#       new file: closing.txt
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add &lt;file&gt;..." to update what will be committed)
#
#       modified: file.txt
#</code></pre>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Since the current state of closing.txt is cached in the index file,
it is listed as "Changes to be committed".  Since file.txt has
changes in the working directory that aren&#8217;t reflected in the index,
it is marked "changed but not updated".  At this point, running "git
commit" would create a commit that added closing.txt (with its new
contents), but that didn&#8217;t modify file.txt.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Also, note that a bare <code>git diff</code> shows the changes to file.txt, but
not the addition of closing.txt, because the version of closing.txt
in the index file is identical to the one in the working directory.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In addition to being the staging area for new commits, the index file
is also populated from the object database when checking out a
branch, and is used to hold the trees involved in a merge operation.
