3.1 Branches in a Nutshell

Branching means you diverge from the main line of development and continue to do work without messing with that main line

Git can change the way that you develop

• 每一次stage、commit背后，Git都做了些什么？

A branch in Git is simply a lightweight movable pointer to one of these commits. The default branch name in Git is master. As you start making commits, you’re given a master branch that points to the last commit you made. Every time you commit, the master branch pointer moves forward automatically.

How does Git know what branch you’re currently on? It keeps a special pointer called HEAD

3.1.2 揭秘每一次stage、commit背后故事

when you stage：

1. Staging the files computes a checksum for each one

2. stores that version of the file in the Git repository (Git refers to them as blobs),

3. adds that checksum to the staging area

when you create a commit

1. stores blobs as a tree object
2. create a commit object
3. ``commit object 存储着对tree object`的引用以及此次提交的其他信息

3.1.3 Git中的branch

如下面的testing分支

HEAD指针指向当前所在分支，切换分支，就是将HEAD指针指向该分支

3.1.4 Git分支的基本操作

1. 创建分支

   git branch 分支名

2. 删除分支

   git branch -d 分支名

3. 切换分支

   git checkout 分支名

4. 创建并切换分支

   git checkout -b 分支名

5. 查看各个分支log

   git log --oneline --decorate --graph --all

   git log默认是查看当期分支下的log
