What is this?
A tiny reimplementation of the C++ Standard Template Library written from scratch in C++11 — most standard containers and algorithms, started as the author's first practice project and now at version 2.x.x.

Since it began as a learning exercise, treat it as educational code rather than a production-ready dependency.

Test instructions live in the Test directory.

No — it covers the vast majority of STL containers and functions, but the author notes there may still be deficiencies and bugs, so it is not a battle-tested replacement for std.Is this a good way to learn how the STL works internally?Yes — it was written as a beginner's practice project, so the code is meant to be read and studied as much as used.

For the deeper material, some Chinese helps.
