radicle-git

The home for all Git utilities related to Radicle. While the majority of the utilities will attempt to be general, there may be more opinionated parts that are geared towards Radicle.

Motivation

The git2 and gitoxide libraries provide low-level APIs for interacting with git repositories and the git protocol. This family of crates attempts to provide a higher-level wrapper around those to provide a more useful API for the Radicle protocol and UI clients building on top of the protocol.

Overview

The repository is defined as a series of crates:

• git-ext -- provides higher-level types over common types found in git2.
• git-ref-format -- provides a higher-level API for constructing git. reference paths. Prefer this over git-ext's RefLike and RefspecPattern.
• git-trailers -- provides a way to parse and construct git trailers.
• git-types -- provides higher-level types, e.g. Namespace, Reference, Remote, etc.
• link-git -- provides a higher-level API for git's refdb, odb, and the git protocol.
• macros -- provides macros for the git-ext references types.
• std-ext -- provides some utilities extending the standard library.
• test -- a shim crate that refers depends on all other, individual test crates.
