Git Internals: Building Your First Tree Object!
Ready to finally understand how Git really works? In this video, we move beyond the everyday git add command and dive deep into Git's powerful low-level plumbing. You'll learn how to manually create the second of Git's three foundational objects: the Tree.
This is video #3 in the 'Mastering Git: From Zero to Pro' series.

We'll pick up right where we left off, taking our "Blob" object from the last video and building a directory structure for it. You will learn how to use git update-index to stage your changes and the critical git write-tree command to permanently save that structure as a Tree object. We'll even inspect the Tree we create to prove it's all working under the hood!
This is the knowledge that separates the Git users from the Git masters. If you want to truly understand commits, branches, and merges, you need to understand the objects they are built from.
