Anyone knows of similar projects in another languages? I've been wanting to understand some important tools (like git in this case) and also learn some languages I've been pushing back. Would love to find more of these

Wow, that is a beautiful interface. I mean the website itself. How is it made?

There's a long list here: https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x.

Also, https://codecrafters.io/challenges/git supports multiple languages (I'm the author). Many folks that try this challenge do it for the same reason you mentioned: to learn about a tool and learn a new language at the same time.

There isn't a table of contents for the website? I haven't been able to find one.

I was thinking the same and found the book that teaches to build Git in Ruby, although I haven’t checked it out yet: https://shop.jcoglan.com/building-git/

Exactly, Typescript or C# would have been very nice.

edit: found some for JS, not TS but still something:
