Git's internal objects, including blobs, trees, and commits, are stored in the specific subdirectory located at `.git/objects`. This directory serves as the repository's object database, containing all the fundamental data that comprises the project's history and content. Each object within this database is uniquely identified by a 40-character SHA-1 hash, which is a cryptographic checksum of its content and type. This design principle makes Git a content-addressable filesystem, meaning you retrieve data based on its content's hash rather than its name or location. The integrity of the data is also ensured by this hashing.
There are three primary types of objects stored here: a blob object stores the exact content of a file. It does not contain any filename or path information; it is purely the data. If multiple files in the repos....
