Passing the first stage

The entry point for your Git implementation is in src/main/java/Main.java. Study and uncomment the relevant code, and push your changes to pass the first stage:

git commit -am "pass 1st stage" # any msg
git push origin master

That's all!

Stage 2 & beyond

Note: This section is for stages 2 and beyond.

1. Ensure you have mvn installed locally
2. Run ./your_program.sh to run your Git implementation, which is implemented in src/main/java/Main.java.
3. Commit your changes and run git push origin master to submit your solution to CodeCrafters. Test output will be streamed to your terminal.

Testing locally

The your_program.sh script is expected to operate on the .git folder inside the current working directory. If you're running this inside the root of this repository, you might end up accidentally damaging your repository's .git folder.

We suggest executing your_program.sh in a different folder when testing locally. For example:

mkdir -p /tmp/testing && cd /tmp/testing
/path/to/your/repo/your_program.sh init

To make this easier to type out, you could add a shell alias:

alias mygit=/path/to/your/repo/your_program.sh

mkdir -p /tmp/testing && cd /tmp/testing
mygit init
