How Objects are Stored in Git by Wolf
Working with Git can be a bit magical. There's likely parts of Git that you don't understand fully, whether you're entering commands from a cheat sheet or routinely performing three-way merges. What if you could see deeper into how Git works? With this talk Wolf will provide a deeper look into Git’s object database. You will understand how Git stores and organizes snapshots, commits, files, directories, and tags. Understanding how Git handles your data will help you connect the dots when using Git at the higher levels; and diagnose and fix problems when they crop up at the lower levels.
