Alternative: git2 / libgit2-sys / libgit2
Links: github, docs.rs, crates.io
- git2 is much more widely used/vetted/tested
- git2 is higher performance, probably
- No need to separately install git
- !Sync
- libgit2-sys has annoying OpenSSL dev dependencies on linux to build
- libgit2's license is complicated and GPL-laden
- Multiple crates pulling in different versions of libgit2-sys will cause build conflicts requiring upstream patches
- Unsafe-laden FFI makes me nervous
- Reading git repositories with an old libgit2 created by a newer git command line sounds like version mismatch incompatability bugs waiting to happen.
- May not fully integrate with any custom git hooks you may have setup
