rust-git-fs

A FUSE implementation for Git objects.

With git-fs one can mount a Git tree as a filesystem, then browse any branch/commit/etc. without needing to actually check them out.

Usage

git-fs [GIT_DIR [MOUNTPOINT]]

• GIT_DIR: The directory of a git repository. A bare git directory is fine, or if given as a working directory, it will automatically use the .git/ directory within. Defaults to the current directory.

• MOUNTPOINT: The target to mount the filesystem. Defaults to GIT_DIR/fs.

Building

Use cargo build, which will also handle dependencies on git2-rs and rust-fuse. The latter will also require fuse-devel or libfuse-dev installed on your system.

Nightly build status is available on Rust CI:
