Version Control Project (VCP) - A Git Mimic

A simple version control system that mimics Git. This project allows users to manage and track changes in their files and projects with features such as repository initialization, adding files, and submitting them to a remote server.

Features (Sample)

• Initialize a new repository
• Add files for tracking
• Submit changes to a remote server
• Clone projects from the server
• List available projects

Installation

(CMake):

mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

Single-file compile (pkg-config fallback):

g++ VCP.cpp FTP.cpp -o vcp -std=c++17 $(pkg-config --cflags --libs openssl)
g++ Server/VCPserver.cpp -o vcpserver -std=c++17

Usage

• Note: The server (vcpserver) is intended to run on a separate machine or device. Build/compile vcpserver on the server device (or copy the binary there), start it, and ensure it is running before using client commands that communicate with the server (for example submit, list, or clone).

• Initialize a repository:

./vcp init <repo-name>

• Add a file:

./vcp add <file>

• Submit changes:

./vcp submit

• Run the server:

./vcpserver

Manual (Homebrew) macOS example:

g++ VCP.cpp FTP.cpp -o vcp -std=c++17 -I$(brew --prefix openssl@3)/include -L$(brew --prefix openssl@3)/lib -Wl,-rpath,$(brew --prefix openssl@3)/lib -lssl -lcrypto

g++ Server/VCPserver.cpp -o vcpserver -std=c++17
