Gitlet is a simplified version control system inspired by Git, implemented in C++ and using the Boost library for serialization and testing. This project aims to provide a basic understanding of how version control systems like Git work under the hood.

• Basic version control functionalities: init, add, commit, log, etc.
• Simplified handling of branches and merges.
• Serialization of objects using Boost for persistent storage.
• Boost-powered unit tests to ensure reliability.

• C++ compiler supporting C++17
• Boost library (at least version 1.65)
• CMake (version 3.10 or higher)

1. Clone the repo into your local machine git clone https://github.com/fr0m-scratch/gitlet.git

2. Build the excutable Gitlet mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

3. Put the excutable Gitlet into your desired directory and run ./gitlet [COMMAND] or add it to your system PATH.
