The purpose of this crate is to abstract the user interface of gix
(the command-line interface) from the actual implementation.
That way, one day it's possible to provide alternative frontends, including user interfaces.
What is gix
?
gix
is a tool to aid developers of gitoxide
run their code in real-world situations and to validate the gix
API.
This makes it more of a test-bed than a tool that could ever rival git
in terms of feature-set.
That said, gix
may actively carve out a niche for itself where it sees the greatest benefits for users of git
.
This crate is internal - use gix
instead.
It's important to understand that this crate consider itself an implementation detail of the gix
CLI and is not meant to be
used for external consumption by means of cargo
dependency. This is emphasized by there being no other documentation.
There is also no intention of ever stabilizing this crate.
If you want to get started with what powers gix
, please take a look at the gix
crate which provides all the building
blocks to create any application, including a carbon-copy of git
itself (at least aspirationally as not all capabilities are
available in gix
yet).
For users of gix
, this codebase might serve as elaborate example as most of not all of its APIs are used here.
