libgit2 bindings for Rust

[dependencies]
git2 = "0.13"

git2-rs works with stable Rust, and typically works with the most recent prior stable release as well. Check the MSRV job of the CI script to see the oldest version of Rust known to pass tests.

Currently this library requires libgit2 1.1.0. The source for libgit2 is included in the libgit2-sys crate so there's no need to pre-install the libgit2 library, the libgit2-sys crate will figure that and/or build that for you.

$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs
$ cd git2-rs
$ cargo build

Running tests and handling all of the associated edge cases on every commit proves tedious very quickly. To automate tests and handle proper stashing and unstashing of unstaged changes and thus avoid nasty surprises, use the pre-commit hook found here and place it into the .git/hooks/ with the name pre-commit. You may need to add execution permissions with chmod +x.

To skip tests on a simple commit or doc-fixes, use git commit --no-verify.

If the ssh feature is enabled (and it is by default) then this library depends on libssh2 which depends on OpenSSL. To get OpenSSL working follow the openssl crate's instructions.
