# codex-git
Helpers for interacting with git, including patch application and worktree
snapshot utilities.
```rust,no_run
use std::path::Path;
use codex_git::{
apply_git_patch, create_ghost_commit, restore_ghost_commit, ApplyGitRequest,
CreateGhostCommitOptions,
};
let repo = Path::new("/path/to/repo");
// Apply a patch (omitted here) to the repository.
let request = ApplyGitRequest {
cwd: repo.to_path_buf(),
diff: String::from("...diff contents..."),
revert: false,
preflight: false,
};
let result = apply_git_patch(&request)?;
// Capture the current working tree as an unreferenced commit.
let ghost = create_ghost_commit(&CreateGhostCommitOptions::new(repo))?;
// Later, undo back to that state.
restore_ghost_commit(repo, &ghost)?;
```
Pass a custom message with `.message("…")` or force-include ignored files with
`.force_include(["ignored.log".into()])`.
