About:
libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods. It provides a re-entrant and linkable API for applications to manipulate Git repositories programmatically without relying on the git binary. This enables high-performance integration of Git functionality directly into other tools and services.
Key Features:
  • Linkable, re-entrant C library
  • Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD)
  • Bindings for multiple languages (Python, Ruby, Node.js, Go, etc.)
  • Low-level access to Git object model and filesystem
Use Cases:
  • Building Git-enabled applications and services
  • IDE and editor Git integration
  • Automated repository analysis and manipulation
Alternatives:
  • git – libgit2 is a library for embedding Git, whereas 'git' is the command-line tool.
