Common Mistakes

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using -r which only reads the hash without storing

Using 'commit' instead of a filename

Omitting the filename

The -w option writes the object to the Git database, and file.txt is the file to hash.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'commit' instead of 'tree' for object type

Not providing the correct input file

tree.txt contains the tree data, -w writes the object, and tree specifies the object type.
