Gitoxide: A peek into the future…

I started working on GitPython in 2009, back in the days when Python was 'my thing' and I had great plans with it. Of course, back in the days, I didn't really know what I was doing and this shows in many places. Somewhat similar to Python this happens to be 'good enough', but at the same time is deeply flawed and broken beyond repair.

By now, GitPython is widely used and I am sure there is a good reason for that, it's something to be proud of and happy about. The community is maintaining the software and is keeping it relevant for which I am absolutely grateful. For the time to come I am happy to continue maintaining GitPython, remaining hopeful that one day it won't be needed anymore.

More than 15 years after my first meeting with 'git' I am still in excited about it, and am happy to finally have the tools and probably the skills to scratch that itch of mine: implement git in a way that makes tool creation a piece of cake for most.

If you like the idea and want to learn more, please head over to gitoxide, an implementation of 'git' in Rust.

(Please note that gitoxide is not currently available for use in Python, and that Rust is required.)

GitPython

GitPython is a python library used to interact with git repositories, high-level like git-porcelain, or low-level like git-plumbing.

It provides abstractions of git objects for easy access of repository data often backed by calling the git command-line program.

DEVELOPMENT STATUS

This project is in maintenance mode, which means that

…there will be no feature development, unless these are contributed
…there will be no bug fixes, unless they are relevant to the safety of users, or contributed
…issues will be responded to with waiting times of up to a month

The project is open to contributions of all kinds, as well as new maintainers.

REQUIREMENTS

GitPython needs the git executable to be installed on the system and available in your PATH for most operations. If it is not in your PATH, you can help GitPython find it by setting the `GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE=
