A fully annotated copy of the Redis 2.6 source code in C, with detailed Chinese comments explaining nearly all standalone Redis modules. It serves as a companion project to the book 'Redis 设计与实现' (The Design and Implementation of Redis).

Use cases

• learn how Redis works internally by reading annotated source
• study Redis data structure implementations like SDS, dict, and ziplist
• understand Redis event loop and networking code
• prepare for Redis contributor or interview questions
• read alongside the Redis design and implementation book

When to choose

• you want to deeply understand Redis 2.6 internals line by line
• you prefer learning from commented source code over documentation
• you are reading the companion book and want matching code

When to avoid

• you need current Redis features or recent source (use redis/redis or the 3.0 annotated fork)
• you want runnable, modifiable production Redis code
• you need annotations for Sentinel, replication, or cluster modules, which are not commented
