Git-RS Documentation Index 📚

Welcome to the comprehensive documentation for Git-RS, an educational Git implementation in Rust!

📖 Documentation Overview

Core Documentation

• Architecture Guide - Deep dive into Git internals, object model, and the three-trees concept
• Command Reference - Complete reference for all implemented git-rs commands
• Git Internals Explained - Educational exploration of how Git works under the hood
• Project Status - Development roadmap, test coverage, and contribution guidelines

Quick Links

• Main README - Project overview and getting started
• API Documentation - Generated Rust API docs
• GitHub Repository - Source code and issue tracking

🎯 Learning Path

For Git Beginners

1. Start with the Main README for project overview
2. Read Git Internals Explained to understand core concepts
3. Try the hands-on examples in Command Reference
4. Explore the Architecture Guide for implementation details

For Developers

1. Review Project Status for current state and roadmap
2. Study Architecture Guide for system design
3. Check API Documentation for code reference
4. Follow the contribution guidelines in Project Status

For Rust Learners

1. Examine the Architecture Guide for Domain-Driven Design patterns
2. Browse the API Documentation for Rust idioms
3. Look at GitHub Actions workflows in .github/workflows/ for CI/CD examples

🔍 Key Concepts Covered

Git Internals

• Object Storage: How blobs, trees, and commits are stored and retrieved
• Content Addressing: SHA-1 hashing and object identification
• References: Branches, tags, and HEAD management
• Index/Staging Area: The three-trees model (working dir, index, HEAD)

Rust Implementation

• Domain-Driven Design: Clean architecture with separated concerns
• Error Handling: Comprehensive error types and Result patterns
• Testing: Unit tests, integration tests, and property-based testing
• Documentation: rustdoc examples and educational comments

DevOps & Quality

• CI/CD Pipelines: GitHub Actions for testing, linting, and releases
• Cross-Platform: Support for Linux and macOS (Windows not supported due to filesystem differences)
• Documentation: Automated docs generation and link validation
• Security: Dependency auditing and vulnerability scanning

3. Test links: Run markdown-link-check docs/*.md if available
4. Submit a PR: Push your branch and create a pull request

Documentation Standards

• Use clear, beginner-friendly language
• Include code examples where helpful
• Add diagrams for complex concepts (ASCII art is fine!)
• Link between related sections
• Keep educational focus in mind

🆘 Getting Help

• Questions about Git concepts: Check Git Internals Explained
• Usage questions: See Command Reference
• Implementation questions: Review Architecture Guide
• Bug reports: Open an issue on GitHub
• Feature requests: Check Project Status and open an issue
