git-show is a command line utility that is used to view expanded details on Git objects such as blobs, trees, tags, and commits. git-show has specific behavior per object type.
git uses a library called zlib for compressing the objects.
Within a repository, Git maintains two primary data structures, the object store and the index. All of this repository data is stored at the root of your working directory in a hidden subdirectory named . git.
Technically, Git stores content in a manner similar to a UNIX filesystem, but a bit simplified. All the content is stored as tree and blob objects, with trees corresponding to UNIX directory entries and blobs corresponding more or less to inodes or file contents.
There are 3 main types of objects that git stores: Blob: This object as we have seen above stores the original content. Tree: This object is used to store directories present in our project. Commit: This object is created whenever a commit is made and abstracts all the information for that particular commit.
