You will need to setup your git email and user-name (replace with yours in case you want to commit something, otherwise use copy-paste)

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Steps

• create a folder with an empty repository (default examples)
• git init in console to initialize repo
• setup user.name and user.email
• create files, stage them and see what files are created in .git/objects
• commit files and check .git/objects
• create branches and checkout .git/refs and git/branches folder
• look at git/HEAD (maybe git/ORIG_HEAD if it exists)

try to create your own fork, and try to lauch it on mybinder

Inspect git objects

git log --format=raw
git cat-file -p <hash> # pretty print
git cat-file -t <hash> # type

# which might make it easier to navigate to certain blobs:
cat .git/objects/<2c>/<38c> | zlib-flate -uncompress
