Volume 01 / Phase 01
Foundations
An exploration of local repository architecture and the logical progression of file tracking.
01. Core Architecture
Distinctions
Distributed (DVCS)
Full mirrored history on every machine. High availability and performance.
Centralized (CVCS)
A single source of truth server. Clients check out specific snapshots.
The Three States
WORKING
Local file state outside Git's index.
STAGING
The physical buffer for the next commit snapshot.
REPOSITORY
The persistent .git directory store.
02. Setup & Config
