MyGit

MyGit is a simple, custom implementation of a Git-like version control system (VCS). The goal is to understand and build the core features of Git from scratch, starting with the initialization (init) functionality. The project is written in Go and uses the Cobra framework for building CLI commands.

---

Features (So Far)

Initialize Repository:

Run mygit init to initialize a .mygit directory in your project folder, similar to git init.

---

File Structure

mygit/
├── cmd/
│   ├── root.go      # Root command of the CLI tool
│   └── init.go      # Implementation of the 'init' command
├── internal/
│   └── core/
│       └── init.go  # Core logic for initializing the repository
├── pkg/
│   └── utils/
│       └── helpers.go  # Helper utilities for future features
├── main.go          # Entry point for the application
├── go.mod           # Dependency and module management
└── go.sum           # Dependency checksums

---

Installation

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/abhiii71/mygit.git
cd mygit

Install Dependencies:

Ensure you have Go installed (1.19 or later) and run:

go mod tidy

Run the CLI:

go run main.go 

---

Usage

Initialize a Repository

Navigate to the directory where you want to initialize the repository:

cd /path/to/your/project

Run the init command:

mygit init

What Happens:

• A .mygit directory is created in your project folder.
• A HEAD file is created inside .mygit, pointing to the refs/heads/main branch.

Output:

• If successful:

Initialized empty MyGit repository in /path/to/your/project/.mygit

• If .mygit already exists:

Error: repository already initialized

Check Repository Status

Run the status command to view the current state of the repository:

mygit status

---

### Tracked and Untracked Files
The `status` command displays:
- **Tracked files**: Files that have been added to the `.mygit/index` file.
- **Untracked files**: Files in the directory that are not in `.mygit/index` and not ignored by `.mygitignore`.

#### Example:
```bash
Tracked files:
  example_tracked_file.txt

Untracked files:
  new_file.txt
  another_new_file.txt
Adding Files
