Gitlet is a streamlined version control system inspired by Git, tailored to manage and track the evolution of projects with efficiency and simplicity.
- Committing: Captures snapshots of directories, preserving the state of a project at points in time.
- Checking Out: Retrieves the state of files from previous commits, facilitating version control and rollback.
- Logging: Maintains a history of commits for review and tracking progress.
- Branching: Supports divergent paths of development, allowing experimentation and feature separation.
- Merging: Integrates changes across branches, reconciling different development trajectories.
- Java Programming: Entirely built using Java, showcasing object-oriented design and file I/O handling.
- Data Structures: Utilizes trees and linked lists to manage commits and branching effectively.
- Algorithm Implementation: Employs algorithms for efficient merging and conflict resolution.
This project is a testament to the application of computer science fundamentals in creating robust tools for developers to manage their codebase effectively.
