This week, we are exploring Git’s internals with the following concept in mind: Git is the distributed database at the core of your engineering system. When the database at the core of an application approaches scale limits of a single database node, a common strategy is to shard the database. By splitting the database into […]

Most of that data comes from the contents of your repositories: your READMEs, source files, tests, licenses, and so on. But some of […]
