=======================
NAME
----
gitrepository-layout - Git Repository Layout
SYNOPSIS
--------
$GIT_DIR/*
DESCRIPTION
-----------
A Git repository comes in two different flavours:
* a `.git` directory at the root of the working tree;
* a `.git` directory that is a 'bare' repository
(i.e. without its own working tree), that is typically used for
exchanging histories with others by pushing into it and fetching
from it.
*Note*: Also you can have a plain text file `.git` at the root of
your working tree, containing `gitdir: ` to point at the real
directory that has the repository. This mechanism is often used for
a working tree of a submodule checkout, to allow you in the
containing superproject to `git checkout` a branch that does not
have the submodule. The `checkout` has to remove the entire
submodule working tree, without losing the submodule repository.
These things may exist in a Git repository.
objects::
Object store associated with this repository. Usually
an object store is self sufficient (i.e. all the objects
that are referred to by an object found in it are also
found in it), but there are a few ways to violate it.
+
. You could have an incomplete but locally usable repository
by creating a shallow clone. See linkgit:git-clone[1].
. You could be using the `objects/info/alternates` or
`$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES` mechanisms to 'borrow'
objects from other object stores. A repository with this kind
of incomplete object store is not suitable to be published for
use with dumb transports but otherwise is OK as long as
`objects/info/alternates` points at the object stores it
borrows from.
objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]::
A newly created object is stored in its own file.
The objects are splayed over 256 subdirectories using
the first two characters of the sha1 object name to
keep the number of directory entries in `objects`
itself to a manageable number. Objects found
here are often called 'unpacked' (or 'loose') objects.
objects/pack::
Packs (files that store many object in compressed form,
along with index files to allow them to be randomly
accessed) are found in this directory.
objects/info::
Additional information about the object store is
recorded in this directory.
objects/info/packs::
This file is to help dumb transports discover what packs
are available in this object store. Whenever a pack is
added or removed, `git update-server-info` should be run
to keep this file up-to-date if the repository is
published for dumb transports. 'git repack' does this
by default.
objects/info/alternates::
This file records paths to alternate object stores that
this object store borrows objects from, one pathname per
line. Note that not only native Git tools use it locally,
but the HTTP fetcher also tries to use it remotely; this
will usually work if you have relative paths (relative
to the object database, not to the repository!) in your
alternates file, but it will not work if you use absolute
paths unless the absolute path in filesystem and web URL
is the same. See also 'objects/info/http-alternates'.
objects/info/http-alternates::
This file records URLs to alternate object stores that
this object store borrows objects from, to be used when
the repository is fetched over HTTP.
refs::
References are stored in subdirectories of this
directory. The 'git prune' com
