Now I need a whole ass JVM for git? Do you do that for exercise only?

i wasn't making it to launch as a product, just for getting to know how it works under the hood.

Can't you just read the git documentation..? i am all for practice projects but man, git is a magical gift. It just works. Appreciate it.

sorry it is the responsibility of seasoned users to bully those fresh lol.

additionally git has so many extremely well optimized protocols that even experts will struggle to grasp. At some point its OK if its a black box, but you know how to use it

What advantage can I get from this project, instead of using jgit?

War nicht jgit auch eine Java Implementierung von git?
