Module object 

Object model definitions for Git blobs, trees, commits, tags, and supporting traits that let the pack/zlib layers create strongly typed values from raw bytes.

Modules

blob

In Git, a blob (binary large object) is a type of Git object that stores the contents of a file. A blob object contains the binary data of a file, but does not contain any metadata such as the file name or permissions. The structure of a Git blob object is as follows:

commit

The Commit object is a data structure used to represent a specific version of a project’s files at a particular point in time. In Git, the commit object is a fundamental data structure that is used to track changes to a repository’s files over time. Whenever a developer makes changes to the files in a repository, they create a new commit object that records those changes.

signature

In a Git commit, the author signature contains the name, email address, timestamp, and timezone of the person who authored the commit. This information is stored in a specific format, which consists of the following fields:

tag

In Git objects there are two types of tags: Lightweight tags and annotated tags.

tree

In Git, a tree object is used to represent the state of a directory at a specific point in time. It stores information about the files and directories within that directory, including their names, permissions, and the IDs of the objects that represent their contents.

types

Object type enumeration plus conversions used across pack/object modules for printing, serialization, and delta bookkeeping.

utils

Low-level helpers shared by object encode/decode routines: varint readers, type/size parsing, and thin zlib compression wrappers tuned for Git object formats.

Traits

ObjectTrait

The Object Trait Defines the common interface for all Git object types, including blobs, trees, commits, and tags.
