# git2cpp

This is a C++ wrapper of [libgit2](https://libgit2.org/) to provide a command-line interface (CLI)
to `git` functionality. The intended use is in WebAssembly in-browser terminals (see
[cockle](https://github.com/jupyterlite/cockle) and
[JupyterLite terminal](https://github.com/jupyterlite/terminal) projects) but it can be compiled and
used on any POSIX-compliant system.

See `overview.md` for further details.

Developer's workflow using `micromamba` to manage the dependencies:

```bash
micromamba create -f dev-environment.yml
micromamba activate git2cpp-dev
meson setup build
cd build
meson compile
```

The `git2cpp` executable can then be run, e.g. `./git2cpp -v`.

The CLI is tested using `python`. From the top-level directory:

```bash
pytest -v
```
