Reiterating on my point again, the aim of this project is not to replicate Git. JS-Git (https://github.com/creationix/js-git) does that.Here I am trying to code basic concepts relaxing complex stuff so that reader can focus & visualize more abstract concepts. I have tried to bring in concepts as and when wanted instead of just overloading the reader with complex stuff all at once.

Which is fine. But you're specifically saying that you are building Git to learn how it works. All I'm saying is, based on your wording, you need a disclaimer that this is not how Git works internally. You can already get the gist from a lot of the comments that they think they now know how Git works after reading this post.

I appreciate the effort and think it's a great idea to implement something your own way, I'm just trying to point out that you're saying this is how THE Git works, which it isn't. Nice write up as a whole though
