Crate git_lfs_git 

Git interop helpers for Git LFS: config, refs, scanners, and .gitattributes matching.

Git LFS needs the user’s git binary for a handful of things with no LFS-specific equivalent: where the repo lives, what’s in its config, which objects each ref reaches, and how .gitattributes applies to a given path. This crate collects those helpers in one place. Everything runs by shelling out to the git binary the user has installed; this crate does not bundle its own git implementation.

It sits at the bottom of the LFS workspace: every other crate goes through it whenever it needs to know something about the repo it’s running against. The crate is intentionally a collection of unrelated helpers rather than a single abstraction, so the pieces are independent of each other and you can pick what you need. See the per-module docs below for the specific surfaces.

Error is the shared error type for the few cases that need to surface git’s stderr verbatim.

Modules

aliases

url.<base>.insteadOf <alias> rewrite handling.

attr

.gitattributes parsing and matching.

cat_file

git cat-file --batch[-check] long-running subprocess wrappers.

config

Get, set, and unset git config values, scoped to one of git’s config files.

diff_index

git diff-index -z parser.

endpoint

Resolve the LFS server endpoint for a repo.

extension

Pointer extension config (lfs.extension.<name>.{clean,smudge,priority}).

fetch_prune

Typed view of the lfs.fetchrecent* and lfs.prune* config knobs that govern fetch-recent and prune retention. Mirrors upstream’s lfs/config.go::FetchPruneConfig field-for-field so the same defaults apply.

http_options

Read git’s http.<key> and http.<url>.<key> settings.

path

Repository path discovery.

pktline

Git’s packet-line protocol: the framing used by filter-process and a handful of other long-running git subprocess interfaces.

refs

Refspec resolution for the LFS lock APIs and ref enumeration helpers used by fetch-recent and prune retention.

rev_list

git rev-list --objects --do-walk --stdin wrapper.

scanner

Scanner: walk git history, find LFS pointer blobs.
