The .git directory contains, among other things, a compressed object database representing the complete history of the project, an "index" file which links that history to the current contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that history such as tags and branch heads.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The object database contains objects of three main types: blobs, which hold file data; trees, which point to blobs and other trees to build up directory hierarchies; and commits, which each reference a single tree and some number of parent commits.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or "version", represents a step in the project’s history, and each parent represents an immediately preceding step. Commits with more than one parent represent merges of independent lines of development.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>All objects are named by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, normally written as a string of 40 hex digits. Such names are globally unique. The entire history leading up to a commit can be vouched for by signing just that commit. A fourth object type, the tag, is provided for this purpose.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files".</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Named pointers called refs mark interesting points in history. A ref may contain the SHA-1 name of an object or the name of another ref (the latter is called a "symbolic ref"). Refs with names beginning <code>refs/head/</code> contain the SHA-1 name of the most recent commit (or "head") of a branch under development. SHA-1 names of tags of interest are stored under <code>refs/tags/</code>. A symbolic ref named <code>HEAD</code> contains the name of the currently checked-out branch.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The index file is initialized with a list of all paths and, for each path, a blob object and a set of attributes. The blob object represents the contents of the file as of the head of the current branch. The attributes (last modified time, size, etc.) are taken from the corresponding file in the working tree. Subsequent changes to the working tree can be found by comparing these attributes. The index may be updated with new content, and new commits may be created from the content stored in the index.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>The index is also capable of storing multiple entries (called "stages") for a given pathname. These stages are used to hold the various unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sect1"> <h2 id="_security"><a class="anchor" href="#_security"></a>SECURITY</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="paragraph"> <p>Some configuration options and hook files may cause Git to run arbitrary shell commands. Because configuration and hooks are not copied using <code>git clone</code>, it is generally safe to clone remote repositories with untrusted content, inspect them with <code>git log</code>, and so on.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>However, it is not safe to run Git commands in a <code>.git</code> directory (or the working tree that surrounds it) when that <code>.git</code> directory itself comes from an untrusted source. The commands in its config and hooks are executed in the usual way.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>By default, Git will refuse to run when the repository is owned by someone other than the user running the command. See the entry for <code>safe.directory</code> in <a href='/docs/git-config'>git-config[1]</a>. While this can help protect you in a multi-user environment, note that you can also acquire untrusted repositories that are owned by you (for example, if you extract a zip file or tarball from an untrusted source). In such cases, you’d need to "sanitize" the untrusted repository first.</p> </div> <div class="paragraph"> <p>If you have an untrusted <code>.git</code> directory, you should first clone it with <code>git clone --no-local</code> to obtain a clean copy. Git does restrict the set of options and hooks that will be run by <code>upload-pack</code>, which handles the server side of a clone or fetch, but beware that the surface area for attack against <code>upload-pack</code> is large, so this does carry some risk. The safest thing is to serve the repository as an unprivileged user (either via <a href='/docs/git-daemon'>git-daemon[1]</a>, ssh, or using other tools to change user ids).
