Extracting a full image from the master tablet

You will need:

• Ubuntu (or other Linux distribution) computer
• TWRP image for your tablet model. Search for it on https://twrp.me/Devices/
• latest firmware for the Android tablet. For example download it from sammobile.
• The heimdall command. Download it with sudo apt-get install heimdall-flash
• Binaries for manipulating Android images: ext2simg and sgs4ext4fs.

• Adding a file will hash its content, and add a file in the objects directory to track it. The object content is just a compressed version of the file contents. The first two letters of the file content become the directory that the object is stored in, and the rest of the hash is the object file name.
• Each object is a full snapshot of the file content. It does not represent a diff. Because the file name and location are not stored in the blobs, two identical files will point to the same blob.
• When there are too many loose objects, git packs them into the pack folder that can store diffs instead of full file contents.
• When commiting, git creates a snapshot of the current blobs and trees. trees are used to track directories, and point to blobs or other trees. Files are represented by blobs.
• A commit is also an object, that points to the tree for the root directory: https://codewords.recurse.com/images/two/git-from-the-i
