------------

[](#installation)

// var_dump($scraper->getFiles());
$scraper->download('./');

```

Terminology
-----------

[](#terminology)

- hash
    - used to identify objects in Git
    - always uses the SHA-1 algorithm
    - has a length of 20 bytes, 40 hex characters or 160 bits
    - ensures file integrity
- object
    - stored in `.git/objects`
    - addressable by its unique hash
    - has a small header describing the type and length of its content
    - compressed with `zlib`
    - can be previewed (in a slightly modified version) by running the command `git cat-file -p {hash}`
- `commit` object
    - points to a single `tree` object (stored as 40 hex characters)
    - contains the name and email address of the committer as well as the commit time
    - includes information about the author (may *not* be the committer) which are analogous to the committer data
    - holds the commit message or description of the commit
    - points to the parent tree as well so that you can browse the history
- `tree` object
    - corresponds to a directory on the file system
    - contains pointers to other objects (stored as 20 bytes)
    - `tree` objects (i.e. sub-directories) and `blob` objects (i.e. files inside the directory) may be listed here
- `blob` object
    - similar to a file on the file system
    - simply a binary representation of the file
