To people who're feeling like they are not able to understand or write something like this:
While the author is definitely skilled, please know that you're looking at a finished project that took what looks like ~10 months of work.
Do not compare what you know now with what the author has accomplished. They likely learnt a lot along the way and you would as well.
If you're really keen to understand it start with the first commits: https://github.com/maryrosecook/gitlet/commits/master?after=...
The first two (meaningful) commits simply create the .git directory and the tests for it. You can almost certainly understand that.

js-git is dormant but used by 30k+ projects, apparently, and is somewhat of a special case I think. It's niche but seems to fulfill it's intended purpose.
