Скачать или смотреть Git Plumbing vs Porcelain

Have you heart the terms Git plumbing and Git Porcelain?

Ever wondered what the different between Git porcelain vs plumbing was?

For the most part, the porcelain is the most commonly used Git files such as:

git init
git add
git commit
git revert
git merge
git rebase
git reset

That's the Git porcelain, and you won't get your hands too dirty when you touch it.

The Git plumbing? That's typically the config stuff in the hidden .git folder, including things like:

Refspec
-Packfiles
The HEAD Pointer
Git References
Remote References
Transfer Protocols
Garbage Collector
Recovery files
Tree Objects
Environment variables

Hopefully you don't have to get your hands dirty with the Git plumbing too often. It's nice to stick with the Git porcelain.

But at the same time, plumbers do make a lot of money!
