ocaml-git
A pure OCaml implementation of Git's storage format and network protocols for reading and writing Git objects.
What is ocaml-git?
ocaml-git is a low-level OCaml library that provides pure OCaml implementations of Git's on-disk storage format and network protocols. It enables reading and writing all core Git objects—blobs, trees, commits, and tags—along with pack files, pack indexes, and index files, making it system-agnostic and suitable for MirageOS unikernel deployments.
OCaml developers building tools that require low-level Git manipulation, such as the Irmin distributed database, or those working on MirageOS unikernels where system-agnostic Git operations are needed.
Developers choose ocaml-git for its pure OCaml implementation, which ensures portability across systems, and its focus on reliable low-level Git primitives without high-level commands, making it ideal as a foundational library for higher-level tools.
