:Git is an object database with built-in history and branching. If you need to create snapshots of your application's configuration or your user's data with alternative configuration branches then use git. By moving the HEAD in the repository you can easily implement undo/redo operations. For instance, one could build a wiki on top of git# or a distributed content management system. Write-support is already implemented so you could already give it a try.

What is Git?

Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development.

Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.

Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and Visual SourceSafe.

Git's key characteristics make it stand out against the other SCM tools:

  • Strong and efficient support for non-linear development
  • Distributed development
  • Multiple protocol support such as HTTP, FTP, ssh, rsync, etc.
  • Efficient handling of large projects
  • Pluggable merge strategy


Popularity

According to a survey by the git community it is rapidly gaining more users. A graph of the survey results clearly demonstrates the trend.

  • September 19th: Rolenun significantly improved the command line interface. Caytchen implemented the Commands "git init" and "git clone".
  • August 25th, 2009: Jim Radford added git# at his TeamCity integration server. We now have automatic builds on both, Windows and Mono. Since the other TeamCity account does not support Mono it can now be viewed as a code mirror ;)
  • August 15th, 2009: Dan Rigby created the IRC channel #GitSharp on freenode. It's a nice place to chat a little or ask questions about git.
  • July 2nd, 2009: Mauricio Scheffer has set up git# on the build and integration service teamcity.codebetter.com

Public Echo

Most recent first:


GitSharp - Git for .NET and Mono

... a native Windows version of the fast & free open source version control system


GitSharp is an implementation of Git for the Dot.Net Framework and Mono. It is aimed to be fully compatible to the original Git and shall be a light weight library for cool applications that are based on Git as their object database or are reading or manipulating repositories in some way.

Status of the Project

GitSharp is a quite usable and stable library used by several projects to interact with git repositories. To get an idea check out the Demo (see below)! GitSharp development is currently on hold because we believe that the libgit2 project and its C# bindings libgit2sharp are far more promising to work on.

Modules
  • GitSharp.Core - a manual line by line port of jgit (outdated)
  • GitSharp.CLI (git.exe) - quite incomplete
  • GitSharp - a user friendly api designed to be easier to use and learn than GitSharp.Core

Projects using GitSharp

Bonobo Git Server

Jakub Chodounský created Bonobo Git Server for Windows (Git application server hosted on IIS with many features - based on the gitsharp library.


GitSharp.Demo

GitSharp.Demo is a small repository browser project that demonstrates the use of the GitSharp library and the user oriented API.

The source demonstrates how easy it is to ...

  • open and interact with a git repository
  • iterate over the file-tree of a specific revision
  • get the contents of a single file of a specific revision
  • get the changes between two commits
  • display a modification as text diff

Thanks and Credits

Thanks to all the kind people who contributed in one way or another. These are the credits:

  • Dave Cameron: for fixing bugs
  • Björn Carlson (hackerbaloo): for killing bugs that crept into the core
  • Emeric Fermas (nulltoken): for eliminating some of the hardest to find bugs and for verifying the complete test suite against jgit
  • Martinho Fernandes (eue): for fixing bugs
  • Andriano Machado (ammachado): for porting massive amounts of code and tests, also fixing many bugs
  • Jim Radford: for the continuous integration server account and the support
  • Gil Ran: for porting and fixing lots of tests and initial efforts on Mono
  • Meinrad Recheis (henon): I started this project and put all my effort into having it take off
  • Dan Rigby: for setting up the #GitSharp irc channel as well as porting and fixing tests
  • rolenun: for the command line interface framework. hey, what is your real name?
  • Stefan Schake (caytchen): for porting huge parts of the transport layer, and hunting down nasty bugs.
  • Mauricio Scheffer (mausch): for the testing and build server expertise and CI server trouble shooting
  • Neil Stalker (nestalk): for caring much about gitsharp's Mono compatibility and squashing bugs
  • Kevin Thompson: for initially porting large amounts of code and letting me rise the baby

Furthermore, much appreciation and thanks to ...

  • Linus Torvalds and the git community for creating and maintaining it.
  • Shawn O. Pearce and the jgit/egit community. Git# is based on their excellent work.
