git
git implementation in Go.
This is a toy project and it is abandoned, but I'm not deleting it.
Why so? Because of many reasons:
- This repository got me a job, not kidding! (there I actually implemented a read-only git implementation in Go)
- It helped me learning all the amazing things git is made (composed) of
- This is a failure project of mine and I'm ashamed of it, it taught me lots of things!
When...?
... will this be ready?
Never.
But don't worry there's plenty of git libraries in Go, here's a couple of suggestions:
- https://github.com/kourge/ggit superb documentation, super friendly and amazing guy!
- https://github.com/src-d/go-git not the best documentation but gets the job done most of the time
Why?
I wanted to learn how git works internally not just the commands to use it.
Also, I want go get to be independent of external commands so anyone can go get anything without installing git, MsysGit, TortoiseHg, Bazaar or any SCM out there supported by this tool.
By implementing git in Go go get can include additional features like fetching a repo at certain tag or commit (just an example).
Go authors still have to approve this, which probably will be rejected just because there's no Mercurial and Bazaar Go implementations yet (if there are I don't know a thing about them).

type ObjectType byte
const ( Blob ObjectType = iota // holds a block of user data (eg the contents of a file, but not filename or other metadata) Tree // holds a map of (filename => checksum) - and therefore implicitly (filename => object) Commit // holds (commit-message, patch-checksum, list of parent-checksums, root-dir-object-checksum) Tag // holds (tagname, commit-object-checksum) )
func (ObjectType) String ¶
func (o ObjectType) String()

Bugs ¶
Hardcodeed `core.autocrlf=true`. Should use git config.
