Requirements

1. g++ compiler (to compile the code)
2. SHA1.hpp (Imported SHA1 library. File included in the folder)
3. Linux

How to run :

Compile

1. Compile the code using the command : g++ git.cpp -o git (An executable file with the name 'git' will appear in the current folder)

To run the program and use the functionalities of git:

2. Init : ./git init A hidden folder with the name .git will be created in the current folder

3. Add : ./git add <filename/foldername> Example: ./git add folder1 *Takes one folder/file at a time

4. Status : ./git status *Displays tracked, untracked and modified files

5. Commit : ./git commit <mode> <message> Additional modes:

    	5.1 Commit without a message : `./git commit`
    	
    	5.2 Adding a message along with the commit (-m) : `./git commit -m <message>`
    	      Example: ./git commit -m My first commit
   

6. Rollback : ./git rollback Additional modes:

    	6.1 Rollback to previous version : `./git rollback`
    	
    	6.2 Rollback to certain checkpoints back at once (-c) : `./git rollback -c <number of hops>`
    	      Example: ./git rollback -c 3 (will go three versions back. Eg: V5 -> V2)
    	
    	6.3 Rollback to a specific version : `./git rollback -vn V<version number>`
    	      Example: ./git rollback -vn V2 (will rollback from current version to Version 2)
   

7. Log : ./git log *Shows version logs
