* Git Deep Dive
A Version 1 Technical Meetup talk covering the deep internals of git.
** Introduction
This is the slide-deck and set-up scripts used to give the /Git Deep Dive/ technical meet-up talk on 2018-06-25 in Version 1, by Éibhear Ó hAnluain.
The pack comes with the following:
- This document
- The slide-deck, =GitDeepDive.pdf=
- A script to set up a simple git repository for exploration purposes: =simple-setup.sh=
- A script to set up the mimic of a development team and processes: =gitDemo.sh=
- A script to set up another simple repository to run through the process for completely clearing a file out of a git database: =largeFile-setup.sh=.
- A =.gitignore= file.
** Setup
1) Run the script =simple-setup.sh=. This will create a git repository in =simpleRepo= and populate it with some commits. The commits in this repository will correspond to the diagrams in the slide-deck that relate to merging.
2) Run the script =largeFile-setup.sh=. This will create another git repository in =largeFileRepo= and populate it with the same commits as in =simpleRepo=, and then puts in some more to create and manipulate a large binary file, and then to remove it. This will be used for the demonstration to remove a file completely from the repository.
3) Run the script =gitDemo.sh=. This will replicate a previous git repository as a bare repo in =devTeamDemo/javaBootcampNoEclipse.git=, and then create a number of clones to represent the actions of a team lead and two developers, and mimic collaborative development among them. =gitDemo.sh= takes one optional parameter, =-s=, which will cause the progression to stop for 15 seconds following each "actor's" push in order to afford the opportunity to look at the git log.
4) Use the =gpg= utility to generate a key-pair so that you can work through the commit- and tag-signing slide and sample commands. If you have access to =gpg2= and not =gpg=, you'll need to set the following =git config= to make sure it's picked up: =git config --global gpg.program gpg2=.
5) Open the file =GitDeepDive.pdf=, and as you go through the slides, refer to the /Sample Commands/ section below for commands you can execute to get further insights.
** Sample commands
*** Slide: Configuration
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
# Go to where the GitDeepDive.pdf file is and set your BASE_DIR
# environment variable.

# What type of object is it pointing to?
git cat-file -t $(cat .git/refs/tags/Rel1.0)
# What's in the object it's pointing to
