Hello there,

I have recently been reading The Architecture for Open Source Applications book - and read the chapters dedicated to GIT internals. And if I am being completely honest, I didn't understand most of it.

Could someone please assist - in sharing some resources - which I could go through, to better understand GIT software internals.

(I am a high school student, and really want to learn more about how all the great software and hardware around us work - which so many of us take for granted)

Regards,
Next: Emily Shaffer
