    Make diff and status perform soft index reload This changes `git_index_read` to have two modes - a hard index reload that always resets the index to match the on-disk data (which was the old behavior) and a soft index reload that uses the timestamp / file size information and only replaces the index data if the file on disk has been modified. This then updates the git_status code to do a soft reload unless the new GIT_STATUS_OPT_NO_REFRESH flag is passed in. This also changes the behavior of the git_diff functions that use the index so that when an index is not explicitly passed in (i.e. when the functions call git_repository_index for you), they will also do a soft reload for you. This intentionally breaks the file signature of git_index_read because there has been some confusion about the behavior previously and it seems like all existing uses of the API should probably be examined to select the desired behavior.

    Build Status

    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 and is being used in production for many applications including the GitHub.com site, in Plastic SCM and also powering Microsoft’s Visual Studio tools for Git. The library provides:

    • SHA conversions, formatting and shortening
    • abstracted 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)

    Optional dependencies

    While the library provides git functionality without the need for dependencies, it can make use of a few libraries to add to it:

    • pthreads (non-Windows) to enable threadsafe access as well as multi-threaded pack generation
    • OpenSSL (non-Windows) to talk over HTTPS and provide the SHA-1 functions
    • LibSSH2 to enable the ssh transport
    • iconv (OSX) to handle the HFS+ path encoding peculiarities

    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:

    • BIN_INSTALL_DIR: Where to install binaries to.
    • LIB_INSTALL_DIR: Where to install libraries to.
    • INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR: Where to install headers to.
    • BUILD_SHARED_LIBS: Build libgit2 as a Shared Library (defaults to ON)
    • BUILD_CLAR: Build Clar-based test suite (defaults to ON)
    • THREADSAFE: Build libgit2 with threading support (defaults to OFF)
    • STDCALL: Build libgit2 as stdcall. Turn off for cdecl (Windows; defaults to ON)

    Compiler and linker options

    CMake lets you specify a few variables to control the behavior of the compiler and linker. These flags are rarely used but can be useful for 64-bit to 32-bit cross-compilation.

    • CMAKE_C_FLAGS: Set your own compiler flags
    • CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH: Override the search path for libraries
    • ZLIB_LIBRARY, OPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY AND OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY: Tell CMake where to find those specific libraries

    MacOS X

    If you want to build a universal binary for Mac OS X, CMake sets it all up for you if you use -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="i386;x86_64" when configuring.

    Windows

    You need to run the CMake commands from the Visual Studio command prompt, not the regular or Windows SDK one. Select the right generator for your version with the -G "Visual Studio X" option. See [the wiki] (https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/wiki/Building-libgit2-on-Windows) for more detailed instructions. Android ------- Extract toolchain from NDK using,make-standalone-toolchain.shscript. Optionally, crosscompile and install OpenSSL inside of it. Then create CMake toolchain file that configures paths to your crosscompiler (substitute{PATH}with full path to the toolchain): SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux) SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION Android) SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER {PATH}/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc) SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER {PATH}/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-g++) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH {PATH}/sysroot/) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY) SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY) Add-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE={pathToToolchainFile} -DANDROID=1to cmake command when configuring.
