No watch-outs from GStars' checks.
General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
gitoxideis an implementation ofgitwritten in Rust for developing future-proof applications which strive for correctness and performance while providing a pleasant and unsurprising developer experience.The command-line tools as well as the status of each crate is described in the crate status document.
For use in applications, look for the
gixcrate, which serves as entrypoint to the functionality provided by various lower-level plumbing crates likegix-config.Can
gixdo what I need it to do?The above can be hard to answer and this paragraph is here to help with feature discovery.
Look at
crate-status.mdfor a rather exhaustive document that contains both implemented and planned features.Further, the
gixcrate documentation with thegit2search term helps to find all currently knowngit2equivalent method calls. Please note that this list is definitely not exhaustive yet, but might help if you are coming fromgit2.
