# Gitlet

https://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs61b/fa21/materials/proj/proj3/index.html

Gitlet is a version control system, similar to Git, created as a project for CS61B (Data Structures and Algorithms) at UC Berkeley. This project is designed to help students understand the underlying data structures and algorithms used in version control systems.

## Features

Here are some of the core features implemented in Gitlet:

- `init`: Initializes a new Gitlet version-control system in the current directory.
- `add`: Adds a copy of the file as it currently exists to the staging area.
- `commit`: Saves a snapshot of certain files in the current commit and staging area so they can be restored at a later time.
- `rm`: Unstages the file if it is currently staged, or marks it for untracking if it's tracked by the current commit.
- `log`: Displays information about each commit backwards along the commit tree from the current head commit.
- `checkout`: Restores files from a given commit, moves the current branch's head to that commit, or creates a new branch pointing to the given commit.
- `branch`: Creates a new branch with the given name, or deletes the given branch.
- `merge`: Merges files from the given branch into the current branch.

## Setup and Installation
