    libgit2 v0.15.0 "Das Wunderbar Release" I am aware the codename is not gramatically correct in any language. Check the COPYING file for the detailed terms on libgit2's license. Check the AUTHORS file for the full list of guilty parties. As we slowly stabilize the API, we've dropped 1 function from the library, and changed the signature of only 5 of them. There's of course a good chunk of new functionality, and a thousand bug fixes. In this release of libgit2: - Changed `git_blob_rawsize`: Now returns `size_t` instead of int, allowing files >4GB in 64 bit systems. - Removed `git_commit_message_short`: Please use `git_commit_message` to get the full message and decide which is the "short view" according to your needs (first line, first 80 chars...) - Added `git_commit_message_encoding`: Returns the encoding field of a commit message, if it exists. - Changed `git_commit_create`, `git_commit_create_v`: New argument `encoding`, which adds a encoding field to the generated commit object. - Added `git_config_find_system`: Returns the path to the system's global config file (according to the Core Git standards). - Changed `git_config_get_XX`, `git_config_set_XX`: the `long` and `int` types have been replaced by `int64` and `int32` respectively, to make their meaning more obvious. - Added `git_indexer`: An interface to index Git Packfiles has been added in the `git2/indexer.h` header. - Changed `git_reflog_entry_XX`: Reflog entries are now returned as `git_oid *` objects instead of hexadecimal OIDs. - Added `git_remote`: More fetch functionality has been added to the `git2/remote.h` functionality. Local, Smart HTTP and Git protocols are now supported. - Added `git_repository_head`: Returns the HEAD of the repository. - Added `git_repository_config_autoload`: Opens the configuration file of a repository, including the user's and the system's global config files, if they can be found. - Changed `git_signature_now`: Now returns an error code; the signature is stored by reference.

  • libgit2 - the Git linkable library

    libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

    libgit2 is licensed under a very permissive license (GPLv2 with a special Linking Exception). This basically means that you can link it (unmodified) with any kind of software without having to release its source code.

    What It Can Do

    libgit2 is already very usable.

    • SHA conversions, formatting and shortening
    • abstracked ODB backend system
    • commit, tag, tree and blob parsing, editing, and write-back
    • tree traversal
    • revision walking
    • index file (staging area) manipulation
    • reference management (including packed references)
    • config file management
    • high level repository management
    • thread safety and reentrancy
    • descriptive and detailed error messages
    • …and more (over 175 different API calls)

    Building libgit2 - Using CMake

    libgit2 builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies. Under Unix-like systems, like Linux, * BSD and Mac OS X, libgit2 expects pthreads to be available; they should be installed by default on all systems. Under Windows, libgit2 uses the native Windows API for threading.

    The libgit2 library is built using CMake 2.6+ (http://www.cmake.org) on all platforms.

    On most systems you can build the library using the following commands

    $ mkdir build && cd build
    $ cmake ..
    $ cmake --build .

    Alternatively you can point the CMake GUI tool to the CMakeLists.txt file and generate platform specific build project or IDE workspace.

    To install the library you can specify the install prefix by setting:

    $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/prefix
    $ cmake --build . --target install

    For more advanced use or questions about CMake please read http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ.

    The following CMake variables are declared:

    • INSTALL_BIN: Where to install binaries to.
    • INSTALL_LIB: Where to install libraries to.
    • INSTALL_INC: Where to install headers to.
    • BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: Build libgit2 as a Shared Library (defaults to ON)
    • BUILD_TESTS: Build the libgit2 test suite (defaults to ON)
    • THREADSAFE: Build libgit2 with threading support (defaults to OFF)

    Language Bindings

    Here are the bindings to libgit2 that are currently available:

    If you start another language binding to libgit2, please let us know so we can add it to the list.

    How Can I Contribute

    Fork libgit2/libgit2 on GitHub, add your improvement, push it to a branch in your fork named for the topic, send a pull request.

    License

    libgit2 is under GPL2 with linking exemption. This means you can link to the library with any program, commercial, open source or other. However, you cannot modify libgit2 and distribute it without supplying the source.

    See the COPYING file for the full license text.
