Gitoxide Pure Rust Git Implementation and Library

A complete, idiomatic Git implementation written in pure Rust, providing both a library (gix crate) for building Git-powered applications and CLI tools for repository operations. Prioritizes correctness, performance, and memory safety.

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• Using cargo binstall, one is able to fetch [binary releases][releases]. You can install it via cargo install cargo-binstall, assuming
• cargo is the Rust package manager which can easily be obtained through [rustup]. With it, you can build your own binary
• cargo install gitoxide --locked --no-default-features --features max-pure
• cargo install gitoxide

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• Using Docker

• Some CI/CD pipelines leverage repository cloning. Below is a copy-paste-able example to build docker images for such workflows.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• Download a Binary Release

• the [rust toolchain][rustup] is present.

• Then install gitoxide with cargo binstall gitoxide.
