Crate git_repository[−][src]

Expand description

This crate provides the Repository abstraction which serves as a hub into all the functionality of git.

It’s powerful and won’t sacrifice performance while still increasing convenience compared to using the sub-crates individually. Sometimes it may hide complexity under the assumption that the performance difference doesn’t matter for all but the fewest tools out there, which would be using the underlying crates directly or file an issue.

The prelude and extensions

With use git_repository::prelude::* you should be ready to go as it pulls in various extension traits to make functionality available on objects that may use it.

The method signatures are still complex and may require various arguments for configuration and cache control.

Easy-Mode

Most extensions to existing objects provide an obj_with_extension.easy(&repo).an_easier_version_of_a_method() or easy(&repo) method to hide all complex arguments and sacrifice some performance for a lot of convenience.

When starting out, use easy(…) and migrate to the more detailed method signatures to squeeze out more performance.
