Blobs usually represent the content of a file. But on their own, they don't have any metadata, not even a name!
|

|
|

Git has a very powerful concept to store metadata related to blobs: the index! It's a list that relates blobs to filenames and permissions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even though it is possible to add an entry directly to the index, it's much more convenient to do it via an existing file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ echo "my content" > file
|
||
|
|
$ git update-index --add file
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Add three entries to the index! For a bonus challenge: can you add a file that is inside of a directory, like "directory/file"?
