Getting ready

In this example, we will use the jgit repository, which was also used in Chapter 1, Navigating Git, with the master branch pointing at b14a93971837610156e815ae2eee3baaa5b7a44b. Either use the clone from Chapter 1, Navigating Git, or clone the repository again, as follows:

$ git clone https://git.eclipse.org/r/jgit/jgit
$ cd jgit
$ git checkout master && git reset --hard b14a939
