Jarvis--The-Version-Control-System

This project is an attempt for a basic implementation of a version control system from scratch.

We have implemented the following commands:

1. init
2. status
3. add
4. commit
5. diff
6. log
7. hash-object
8. cat-file
9. ls-files
10. reset

These commands are at the core of the VCS, and we have implemented them with the same functionality as in a normal VCS system. Note: This VCS implementation will run only on a Unix-based platform.

How to run the VCS:

To begin tracking of changes by the VCS, we need to first initialize a repository(directory). This could be done in two ways:

1. telling the VCS to create a new repository
2. giving the VCS path to an existing empty repository. This is done by the init command.

For example: python3 jarvis.py init myrepo

Thus, first we need to write python3 (version of python) then we need to specify the name of our VCS file, finally the command along with its arguments.

Note: To obtain information about the commands and their arguments type:

python3 jarvis.py --help

Then change your directory to the current repository. After that, to run the commands you wish you need to specify the complete path of jarvis.py file.
