🧬 Internal Git View

Git stores everything as:

objects/
 ├── blobs   (files)
 ├── trees   (folders)
 └── commits (snapshots)

🔥 What Makes This Section Different

You will learn:

  • how Git works internally
  • how to recover mistakes
  • how to manipulate history safely
  • how professionals debug issues

🚀 Real-World Use Cases

  • "I lost my commit" → reflog
  • "I need this one commit only" → cherry-pick
  • "I want to switch work temporarily" → stash
  • "Where did bug start?" → bisect
  • "I want automation" → hooks
