go-git
A highly extensible Git implementation library written in pure Go, supporting both low-level plumbing and high-level porcelain operations.
What is go-git?
go-git is a Git implementation library written entirely in Go, providing both low-level (plumbing) and high-level (porcelain) operations through an idiomatic Go API. It solves the problem of integrating Git functionality into Go applications without requiring external Git binaries or C dependencies. The library supports extensible storage backends and aims for full compatibility with standard Git.
Go developers building applications that need to programmatically interact with Git repositories, such as CI/CD tools, Git hosting platforms, or version-controlled data pipelines.
Developers choose go-git for its pure Go implementation, which eliminates external dependencies and simplifies deployment. Its extensible design, active maintenance, and production use by major projects make it a reliable choice for building Git-powered tools in Go.
