A fully annotated copy of the Redis 3.0 source code in C, with detailed Chinese comments explaining the internal implementation of every major component. It was created as a study companion to the book 'Redis Design and Implementation' and leaves the original code otherwise untouched.

Use cases

• learn how Redis works internally by reading annotated source
• understand Redis data structures like adlist, ziplist, and dict
• study the Redis event loop and networking implementation
• prepare for Redis interviews by reading source code
• follow along with the Redis Design and Implementation book
• explore how AOF persistence is implemented

When to choose

• you want to deeply understand Redis 3.0 internals from the source
• you prefer reading code with explanatory comments in Chinese
• you are studying alongside the Redis Design and Implementation book

When to avoid

• you need a production Redis server - use the official redis/redis repo
• you need annotations for a recent Redis version - this covers only 3.0
• you cannot read Chinese, since the comments are in Chinese
