> The main reason I wanted to make this was to give folks some intuition for how git works under the hood. After all, git commits really are very similar to folders – every Git commit contains a directory listing of the files in it, and that directory can have subdirectories, etc. > It’s just that git commits aren’t actually implemented as folders to save disk space. Okay. So what. People are used to archive formats. > git worktree also lets you have multiple branches checked out at the same time, but to me it feels weird to set up an entire worktree just to look at 1 file. But one directory per commit is less weird.
