At its core, Git is very simple. It stores "objects", which are basically files identified by an "identifier" (short: ID).
There are four types of objects: blobs, trees, commits, and tags. The simplest type is a "blob", which is just a piece of text.
Let's create some blobs! To do that, create a file with the desired content, and then use
$ git hash-object -w <file>
The flag -w means "write", and tells Git to actually write the new blob to the disk.
Create three new blobs!
