Git Compression of Blobs and Packfiles.

Many users of Git are curious about the lack of delta compression at the object (blob) level when commits are first written. This efficiency is saved until the pack file is written. Loose objects are written in compressed, but non-delta format at the time of each commit.

A simple run though of a commit sequence with only the smallest change to the image (in uncompressed TIFF format to amplify the observable behavior) aids the understanding of this deferred and different approach efficiency.

The command sequence:

Create the repo:

bobspace

// CSS Color Names
// Compiled by @bobspace.
//
// A javascript object containing all of the color names listed in the CSS Spec.
// This used to be a big array, but the hex values are useful too, so now it's an object.
// If you need the names as an array use Object.keys, but you already knew that!
// 
// The full list can be found here: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_colors.asp
// Use it as you please, 'cuz you can't, like, own a color, man.

Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

• Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.
