@b0rk@social.jvns.ca Oh wow, I'ma have to add this to my reading list. I only ever think of "how" my files live, especially in VCS terms, than "where". Thanks!

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca will read that later, but the first thing coming to mind is this great post by @isotopp@chaos.social https://blog.koehntopp.info/2021/10/12/understanding-git.html

If anyone wants to know even more about this: Have a look at chapter 10 "Git Internals" of the #book "Pro Git". It's available for free online on the official Git website: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 @b0rk@social.jvns.ca #GitInternals #ProGit #GitPackfiles #GitObjects

For a different angle, the Git Book also talks about some of these internals in its chapter on Git Objects. I recently leveraged that to manually update permissions in a Gerrit setup, which stores its user database in a unusual Git repository. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca This is a thorough explanation of how git works! It's nice to learn a few things too.
