To people who're feeling like they are not able to understand or write something like this: While the author is definitely skilled, please know that you're looking at a finished project that took what looks like ~10 months of work. Do not compare what you know now with what the author has accomplished. They likely learnt a lot along the way and you would as well. If you're really keen to understand it start with the first commits: https://github.com/maryrosecook/gitlet/commits/master?after=ba49cd2ebf5cd89416cdde1eaab044f106bb45bc+965&branch=master https://github.com/maryrosecook/gitlet/commits/master?after=... The first two (meaningful) commits simply create the .git directory and the tests for it. You can almost certainly understand that.
