Repository files navigation

GitDB allows you to access bare git repositories for reading and writing. It aims at allowing full access to loose objects as well as packs with performance and scalability in mind. It operates exclusively on streams, allowing to handle large objects with a small memory footprint.

FromPyPI:

pip install gitdb

If you want to go up to 20% faster, you can install gitdb-speedups with:

pip install gitdb-speedups

However, please note that gitdb-speedups is not currently maintained.

• smmap - declared as a dependency, automatically installed
• pytest - for running the tests

The source is available in a git repository on GitHub:

https://github.com/gitpython-developers/gitdb

Once the clone is complete, please be sure to initialize the submodule using:

cd gitdbgit submodule update --init

Run the tests with:

The library is considered mature, and not under active development. Its primary (known) use is in GitPython.
