Hacking Git |
The goal of this document is not to be a tutorial, but rather to point to interesting material that has already been written.
The goal is also not to list all the articles about Git or its internals. There are a lot of good resources, including free books, about that elsewhere.
Contributions are welcome though! Please contact us on the Git Mailing list (at [email protected]) or open an issue or a pull request on our GitHub repo to discuss or suggest improvements. Thanks!
