Git for beginners — What is repository? A repository is a directory ?

There is a normal directory

image

When git puts a spell on a directory

image

Then "Repository" will be born by magic

image

It is a mistery as also birth is a mistery.

Repository and Directory are friends

So repository seems eqaul to a directory.

image

A repository is a directory ?

It is about correct understanding but actually not.

Because we can have one repository with in other directories.

For example Alice has a repository in her local directory and Bob also has and Carol has and etc ….

image

You can two or more directories with related with one repository on your local.

Remote repository

We can have also a same repository in remote.

image

If a directory is deleted but a repository is keep on existing.

unless all directories deleted from the world.

image

ETC

  • In popular OSS many people pull from same repository.
    • There is a one kind repository and many local directories related with git control.
  • If in the future OS got "nor directory" system but git "repository" may keeps on.
    • Because OS directory is lower level working system but git repository is the high level abstraction.
