pygit2_utils

Author

Pierre-Yves Chibon <pingou@pingoured.fr>

pygit2 is a python library interfacing with libgit2 to interact with git.

pygit2 is very performant and offers an API that is quite close to the C API from libgit2. pygit2_utils aims at providing a simple(r) API for pygit2, taking care of calling pygit2 under the hood and thus exposing a simple API to interact with git repositories.

Note

This project is currently in a early-alpha stage and if we are pleased with its current status, its API might change in the future (until we make an official 1.0 release). We will try to minimize those API change though.

Why using pygit2_utils? pygit2_utils aims at providing a stable API, which pygit2 does not (cf the note in this section of the pygit2 documentation )

Dependencies

The only dependency of this project is:

• pygit2

Due to the reason mentionned above about why using pygti2_utils, we are listing here the pygit2 releases with which pygit2_utils has been tested:

• 0.20.2
• 0.21.4

Testing:

This project is fully compatible with python 2.7 and python 3. It contains unit-tests allowing early detection of changes in pygit2 or break in API and allowing to easily make sure that the code runs on both python 2.7 and python 3.

To run them:

python setup.py nosetests
python3 setup.py nosetests
