+NAME
+----
+gittutorial-2 - A tutorial introduction to Git: part two
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+git *
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+You should work through linkgit:gittutorial[7] before reading this tutorial.
+
+The goal of this tutorial is to introduce two fundamental pieces of
+Git's architecture--the object database and the index file--and to
+provide the reader with everything necessary to understand the rest
+of the Git documentation.
+
+The Git object database
+-----------------------
+
+Let's start a new project and create a small amount of history:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ mkdir test-project
+$ cd test-project
+$ git init
+Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
+$ echo 'hello world' > file.txt
+$ git add .
+$ git commit -a -m "initial commit"
+[master (root-commit) 54196cc] initial commit
+ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
+ create mode 100644 file.txt
+$ echo 'hello world!' >file.txt
+$ git commit -a -m "add emphasis"
+[master c4d59f3] add emphasis
+ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+What are the 7 digits of hex that Git responded to the commit with?
+
+We saw in part one of the tutorial that commits have names like this.
+It turns out that every object in the Git history is stored under
+a 40-digit hex name.  That name is the SHA-1 hash of the object's
+contents; among other things, this ensures that Git will never store
+the same data twice (since identical data is given an identical SHA-1
+name), and that the contents of a Git object will never change (since
+that would change the object's name as well). The 7 char hex strings
+here are simply the abbreviation of such 40 character long strings.
+Abbreviations can be used everywhere where the 40 character strings
+can be used, so long as they are unambiguous.
+
+It is expected that the content of the commit object you created while
+following the example above generates a different SHA-1 hash than
+the one shown above because the commit object records the time when
+it was created and the name of the person performing the commit.
+
+We can ask Git about this particular object with the `cat-file`
+command. Don't copy the 40 hex digits from this example but use those
+from your own version. Note that you can shorten it to only a few
+characters to save yourself typing all 40 hex digits:
+

+$ git cat-file -t 54196cc2

+$ git cat-file commit 54196cc2
+tree 92b8b694ffb1675e5975148e1121810081dbdffe

+
+initial commit
+------------------------------------------------
+
+A tree can refer to one or more "blob" objects, each corresponding to
+a file.  In addition, a tree can also refer to other tree objects,
+thus creating a directory hierarchy.  You can examine the contents of
+any tree using ls-tree (remember that a long enough initial portion
+of the SHA-1 will also work):
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git ls-tree 92b8b694
+100644 blob 3b18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad    file.txt
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Thus we see that this tree has one file in it.  The SHA-1 hash is a
+reference to that file's data:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git cat-file -t 3b18e512
+blob
+------------------------------------------------
+
+A "blob" is just file data, which we can also examine with cat-file:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git cat-file blob 3b18e512
+hello world
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Note that this is the old file data; so the object that Git named in
+its response to the initial tree was a tree with a snapshot of the
+directory state that was recorded by the first commit.
+
+All of these objects are stored under their SHA-1 names inside the Git
+directory:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ find .git/objects/
+.git/objects/
+.git/objects/pack
+.git/objects/info
+.git/objects/3b
+.git/objects/3b/18e512dba79e4c8300dd08aeb37f8e728b8dad
+.git/objects/92
+.git/objects/92/b8b694ffb1675e5975148e1121810081dbdffe
+.git/objects/54
+.git/objects/54/196cc2703dc165cbd373a65a4dcf22d50ae7f7
+.git/objects/a0
+.git/objects/a0/423896973644771497bdc03eb99d5281615b51
+.git/objects/d0
+.git/objects/d0/492b368b66bdabf2ac1fd8c92b39d3db916e59
+.git/objects/c4
+.git/objects/c4/d59f390b9cfd4318117afde11d601c1085f241
+------------------------------------------------
+
+and the contents of these files is just the compressed data plus a
+header identifying their length and their type.  The type is either a
+blob, a tree, a commit, or a tag.
+
+The simplest commit to find is the HEAD commit, which we can find
+from .git/HEAD:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ cat .git/HEAD
+ref: refs/heads/master
+------------------------------------------------
+
+As you can see, this tells us which branch we're currently on, and it
+tells us this by naming a file under the .git directory, which itself
+contains a SHA-1 name referring to a commit object, which we can
+examine with cat-file:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ cat .git/refs/heads/master
+c4d59f390b9cfd4318117afde11d601c1085f241
+$ git cat-file -t c4d59f39
+commit
+$ git cat-file commit c4d59f39
+tree d0492b368b66bdabf2ac1fd8c92b39d3db916e59
+parent 54196cc2703dc165cbd373a65a4dcf22d50ae7f7

+
+add emphasis
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The "tree" object here refers to the new state of the tree:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git ls-tree d0492b36
+100644 blob a0423896973644771497bdc03eb99d5281615b51    file.txt
+$ git cat-file blob a0423896
+hello world!
+------------------------------------------------
+
+and the "parent" object refers to the previous commit:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git cat-file commit 54196cc2
+tree 92b8b694ffb1675e5975148e1121810081dbdffe
+author J. Bruce Fields <bfields@puzzle.fieldses.org> 1143414668 -0500
+committer J. Bruce Fields <bfields@puzzle.fieldses.org> 1143414668 -0500
+
+initial commit
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The tree object is the tree we examined first, and this commit is
+unusual in that it lacks any parent.
+
+Most commits have only one parent, but it is also common for a commit
+to have multiple parents.   In that case the commit represents a
+merge, with the parent references pointing to the heads of the merged
+branches.
+
+Besides blobs, trees, and commits, the only remaining type of object
+is a "tag", which we won't discuss here; refer to linkgit:git-tag[1]
+for details.
+
+So now we know how Git uses the object database to represent a
+project's history:
+
+  * "commit" objects refer to "tree" objects representing the
+    snapshot of a directory tree at a particular point in the
+    history, and refer to "parent" commits to show how they're
+    connected into the project history.
+  * "tree" objects represent the state of a single directory,
+    associating directory names to "blob" objects containing file
+    data and "tree" objects containing subdirectory information.
+  * "blob" objects contain file data without any other structure.
+  * References to commit objects at the head of each branch are
+    stored in files under .git/refs/heads/.
+  * The name of the current branch is stored in .git/HEAD.
+
+Note, by the way, that lots of commands take a tree as an argument.
+But as we can see above, a tree can be referred to in many different
+ways--by the SHA-1 name for that tree, by the name of a commit that
+refers to the tree, by the name of a branch whose head refers to that
+tree, etc.--and most such commands can accept any of these names.
+
+In command synopses, the word "tree-ish" is sometimes used to
+designate such an argument.
+
+The index file
+--------------
+
+The primary tool we've been using to create commits is `git-commit
+-a`, which creates a commit including every change you've made to
+your working tree.  But what if you want to commit changes only to
+certain files?  Or only certain changes to certain files?
+
+If we look at the way commits are created under the cover, we'll see
+that there are more flexible ways creating commits.
+
+Continuing with our test-project, let's modify file.txt again:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ echo "hello world, again" >>file.txt
+------------------------------------------------
+
+but this time instead of immediately making the commit, let's take an
+intermediate step, and ask for diffs along the way to keep track of
+what's happening:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git diff
+--- a/file.txt
++++ b/file.txt
+@@ -1 +1,2 @@
+ hello world!
++hello world, again
+$ git add file.txt
+$ git diff
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The last diff is empty, but no new commits have been made, and the
+head still doesn't contain the new line:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git diff HEAD
+diff --git a/file.txt b/file.txt
+index a042389..513feba 100644
+--- a/file.txt
++++ b/file.txt
+@@ -1 +1,2 @@
+ hello world!
++hello world, again
+------------------------------------------------
+
+So 'git diff' is comparing against something other than the head.
+The thing that it's comparing against is actually the index file,
+which is stored in .git/index in a binary format, but whose contents
+we can examine with ls-files:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git ls-files --stage
+100644 513feba2e53ebbd2532419ded848ba19de88ba00 0       file.txt
+$ git cat-file -t 513feba2
+blob
+$ git cat-file blob 513feba2
+hello world!
+hello world, again
+------------------------------------------------
+
+So what our 'git add' did was store a new blob and then put
+a reference to it in the index file.  If we modify the file again,
+we'll see that the new modifications are reflected in the 'git diff'
+output:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ echo 'again?' >>file.txt
+$ git diff
+index 513feba..ba3da7b 100644
+--- a/file.txt
++++ b/file.txt
+@@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
+ hello world!
+ hello world, again
++again?
+------------------------------------------------
+
+With the right arguments, 'git diff' can also show us the difference
+between the working directory and the last commit, or between the
+index and the last commit:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git diff HEAD
+diff --git a/file.txt b/file.txt
+index a042389..ba3da7b 100644
+--- a/file.txt
++++ b/file.txt
+@@ -1 +1,3 @@
+ hello world!
++hello world, again
++again?
+$ git diff --cached
+diff --git a/file.txt b/file.txt
+index a042389..513feba 100644
+--- a/file.txt
++++ b/file.txt
+@@ -1 +1,2 @@
+ hello world!
++hello world, again
+------------------------------------------------
+
+At any time, we can create a new commit using 'git commit' (without
+the "-a" option), and verify that the state committed only includes the
+changes stored in the index file, not the additional change that is
+still only in our working tree:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git commit -m "repeat"
+$ git diff HEAD
+diff --git a/file.txt b/file.txt
+index 513feba..ba3da7b 100644
+--- a/file.txt
++++ b/file.txt
+@@ -1,2 +1,3 @@
+ hello world!
+ hello world, again
++again?
+------------------------------------------------
+
+So by default 'git commit' uses the index to create the commit, not
+the working tree; the "-a" option to commit tells it to first update
+the index with all changes in the working tree.
+
+Finally, it's worth looking at the effect of 'git add' on the index
+file:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ echo "goodbye, world" >closing.txt
+$ git add closing.txt
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The effect of the 'git add' was to add one entry to the index file:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git ls-files --stage
+100644 8b9743b20d4b15be3955fc8d5cd2b09cd2336138 0       closing.txt
+100644 513feba2e53ebbd2532419ded848ba19de88ba00 0       file.txt
+------------------------------------------------
+
+And, as you can see with cat-file, this new entry refers to the
+current contents of the file:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git cat-file blob 8b9743b2
+goodbye, world
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The "status" command is a useful way to get a quick summary of the
+situation:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git status
+On branch master
+Changes to be committed:
+  (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
+
+	new file:   closing.txt
+
+Changes not staged for commit:
+  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+
+	modified:   file.txt
+
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Since the current state of closing.txt is cached in the index file,
+it is listed as "Changes to be committed".  Since file.txt has
+changes in the working directory that aren't reflected in the index,
+it is marked "changed but not updated".  At this point, running "git
+commit" would create a commit that added closing.txt (with its new
+contents), but that didn't modify file.txt.
+
+Also, note that a bare `git diff` shows the changes to file.txt, but
+not the addition of closing.txt, because the version of closing.txt
+in the index file is identical to the one in the working directory.
+
+In addition to being the staging area for new commits, the index file
+is also populated from the object database when checking out a
+branch, and is used to hold the trees involved in a merge operation.
+See linkgit:gitcore-tutorial[7] and the relevant man
+pages for details.
+
+What next?
+----------
+
+At this point you should know everything necessary to read the man
+pages for any of the git commands; one good place to start would be
+with the commands mentioned in linkgit:giteveryday[7].  You
+should be able to find any unknown jargon in linkgit:gitglossary[7].
+
+The link:user-manual.html[Git User's Manual] provides a more
+comprehensive introduction to Git.
+
+linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7] explains how to
+import a CVS repository into Git, and shows how to use Git in a
+CVS-like way.
+
+For some interesting examples of Git use, see the
+link:howto-index.html[howtos].
+
+For Git developers, linkgit:gitcore-tutorial[7] goes
+into detail on the lower-level Git mechanisms involved in, for
+example, creating a new commit.
