Git Repository Directory Structure

Git Repository Directory Structure

First pass of organizing various data and scripts about a repository. One open question is seperation of data about a repository vs scripts that use that data.

Note that much of this doesn't currently work with various Git hosting services (for instance GitHub & GitLab put their files in .github/ .gitlab/ respectively). Instead, this is more of a proposal.

Git itself uses .git/hooks. but you can set git config core.hooksPath /path/to/your/hooks to the path you want.

Support for Git Commits using SHA-256

Support for Git Commits using SHA-256

Git started supporting SHA-256 based commit hashes in version 2.29, officially released on October 19, 2020.

This version included the --object-format=sha256 option for the git init command.

This feature is part of Git's ongoing efforts to enhance security and address potential vulnerabilities related to the use of SHA-1 hash algorithm.

Git Environment Variable for Shell Scripts

Git Environment Variable for Shell Scripts

GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT & GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT

The GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT and GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT environment variables allow you to set detailed author and committer information for a git commit in a single environment variable. These variables give you finer control over the identity information attached to commits, which can be particularly useful in automated systems or scripts that manage multiple git operations, or when you need to override both the name, email, and date simultaneously without setting each component individually.

It's worth noting that these variables are less commonly used and are not as well-documented as the individual GIT_AUTHOR_NAME, GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_NAME, and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL variables.
