Hi, Yes, Git can be intimidating at first.
Please remember that really, git is actually hundreds of distinct little programmes rather than one single big programme that is always 'running' (like an IDE would), rather it starts, does the small command and stops. It stores its state in a number of files, such as 'the index' and the state of actual file/directory content in the 'object store' (all named by their hash value!). The object store is a superset of 'the repository'. The programme directory structure is 'odd' because the 'builtin' (directory) probably ought to be the top level. Often there are two files of the same name at those levels. One is the handler, while the other is the command actions. Try starting at git.c #L841 int cmd_main(int argc, const char **argv) https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/git.c#L841 to see how commands are handled (at least trace it to the various 'help' actions;-). Is there any specific action, task or OS you are most interest in? You can search the mail list for "#leftoverbits" Philip Seasons Greetings to all.
