lib.rs

1//! Launch commands very similarly to `Command`, but with `git` specific capabilities and adjustments.
2//!
3//! ## Examples
4//!
5//! ```
6//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
7//! let output = gix_command::prepare("git")
8//!     .arg("--version")
9//!     .spawn()?
10//!     .wait_with_output()?;
11//!
12//! assert!(output.status.success());
13//! assert!(String::from_utf8(output.stdout)?.starts_with("git version "));
14//! # Ok(()) }
15//! ```
