# git2-rs
[Documentation](https://docs.rs/git2)
libgit2 bindings for Rust.
```toml
[dependencies]
git2 = "0.18.0"
```
## Rust version requirements
git2-rs works with stable Rust, and typically works with the most recent prior
stable release as well.
## Version of libgit2
Currently this library requires libgit2 1.7.1 (or newer patch versions). The
source for libgit2 is included in the libgit2-sys crate so there's no need to
pre-install the libgit2 library, the libgit2-sys crate will figure that and/or
build that for you.
You can enable the Cargo feature `vendored-libgit2` to always compile and
statically link to a copy of libgit2. Sometimes the libgit2 on the system is
required to be found and used even when `vendored-libgit2` is activated. In
this case, you shall set the environment variable `LIBGIT2_NO_VENDOR=1`.
## Building git2-rs
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs
$ cd git2-rs
$ cargo build
```
### Automating Testing
Running tests and handling all of the associated edge cases on every commit
proves tedious very quickly. To automate tests and handle proper stashing and
unstashing of unstaged changes and thus avoid nasty surprises, use the
pre-commit hook found [here][pre-commit-hook] and place it into the
`.git/hooks/` with the name `pre-commit`. You may need to add execution
permissions with `chmod +x`.
To skip tests on a simple commit or doc-fixes, use `git commit --no-verify`.
## Building on macOS 10.10+
If the `ssh` feature is enabled (and it is by default) then this library depends
on libssh2 which depends on OpenSSL. To get OpenSSL working follow the
[`openssl` crate's instructions](https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl/blob/master/openssl/src/lib.rs#L31).
