3//! `vcs-testkit` — throwaway git/jj sandboxes (and a bare remote) for
4//! integration tests.
5//!
6//! Hands a `#[test]` a real repository to drive: a unique self-cleaning
7//! [`TempDir`], a configured [`GitSandbox`] / [`JjSandbox`] to build scenarios
8//! in, and a seeded [`BareRemote`] to clone/fetch/push against. It is
9//! **dependency-free** (not even the wrapper crates, so it can be a
10//! dev-dependency of any of them without a cycle), **synchronous** (test setup
11//! needs no runtime — it shells out with `std::process::Command`, not the async
12//! client under test), and **panics on failure** (a broken fixture should fail
13//! loudly at the call site, not thread `Result`s through scenario code).
14//!
15//! Built for `#[test]` / `#[ignore]` integration tests that need a *real* repo:
16//! the helpers run the actual `git` / `jj` on `PATH`, so gate any test that
17//! touches one behind `#[ignore = "requires the git binary"]` — a hermetic CI
18//! with no binaries installed then stays green, and `cargo test -- --ignored`
19//! runs them locally. Every sandbox is isolated from the host's VCS config (no
20//! system/global config, no `init.templateDir` hook leakage, a deterministic
21//! identity even on the commit `jj git init` creates) — see `command`.
22//!
23//! # The surface
24//!
25//! - **[`TempDir`]** — a unique temporary directory, removed on drop.
26//!   Uniqueness without a temp-dir crate: pid + a process-wide monotonic
27//!   counter, so parallel tests in a run never collide. Every fixture owns one.
28//! - **[`GitSandbox`]** — a throwaway **git** repo on branch `main` with a
29//!   deterministic identity. Build scenarios through the convenience steps
30//!   ([`commit_file`](GitSandbox::commit_file), [`branch`](GitSandbox::branch),
31//!   [`checkout`](GitSandbox::checkout), [`rev_parse`](GitSandbox::rev_parse))
32//!   plus the raw [`git`](GitSandbox::git) escape hatch for anything unmodelled.
33//! - **[`JjSandbox`]** — the same shape for a **jj** (git-backed) workspace:
34//!   [`describe`](JjSandbox::describe), [`new_change`](JjSandbox::new_change),
35//!   [`bookmark`](JjSandbox::bookmark), and the raw [`jj`](JjSandbox::jj) hatch.
36//! - **[`BareRemote`]** — a populated **bare** git repo, a local
37//!   clone/fetch/push source with no network. [`BareRemote::seeded`] gives one
38//!   commit on `main` containing `seed.txt`; [`url`](BareRemote::url) yields a
39//!   string remote URL.
40//! - **[`configure_identity`]** — stamp a git repo with a deterministic
41//!   identity and byte-stable behaviour (`user.*`, `commit.gpgsign=false`,
42//!   `core.autocrlf=false`). Standalone, for tests whose *subject* is `init`.
43//! - **Raw steps [`git`] / [`jj`]** — run one command in any `dir`, panicking
44//!   on failure: for scenario steps in directories no sandbox owns (linked
45//!   worktrees, fresh clones, repos the code under test initialised).
46//!
47//! # Recipes
48//!
49//! These are sync — no async wrapper, no `Result` (fixtures panic). They are
50//! `no_run`: they really create temp dirs and shell out to `git`/`jj`, so they
51//! compile here but only run under a binary-equipped `#[test]`.
52//!
53//! Build a git scenario — write + stage + commit is one step:
54//!
55//! ```no_run
56//! use vcs_testkit::GitSandbox;
57//! # fn demo() {
58//! let repo = GitSandbox::init("scenario");
59//! repo.commit_file("a.txt", "one\n", "first");   // write + add -A + commit
60//! repo.branch("feature");
61//! repo.checkout("feature");
62//! repo.commit_file("sub/b.txt", "two\n", "second");
63//!
64//! let head = repo.rev_parse("HEAD");
65//! assert_eq!(head.len(), 40);
66//! assert_ne!(head, repo.rev_parse("main"));       // feature has diverged
67//! # }
68//! ```
69//!
70//! Seed a bare remote and fetch from it — drop to raw `git` for the remote wiring:
71//!
72//! ```no_run
73//! use vcs_testkit::{BareRemote, GitSandbox};
74//! # fn demo() {
75//! let repo = GitSandbox::init("local");
76//! repo.commit_file("a.txt", "one\n", "first");
77//!
78//! let remote = BareRemote::seeded("origin");
79//! repo.git(&["remote", "add", "origin", remote.url().as_str()]);
80//! repo.git(&["fetch", "-q", "origin"]);
81//! assert_eq!(repo.rev_parse("origin/main").len(), 40); // seed commit fetched
82//! # }
83//! ```
84//!
85//! # In-depth guide
86//!
87//! Beyond this page, this crate ships a full how-to guide — rendered on docs.rs
88//! from `docs/`. See the [`guide`] module (and its cross-cutting
89//! [`testing`](crate::guide::testing) sub-guide on the trait / mock / runner
90//! seams that let most tests skip real binaries entirely).
