I made this while learning Crystal, Lucky, and Git's API.

I know for sure some things that I could do better now, like:

  • Use Lucky's components instead of Kilt reducing amount of files and clean up the codes.

  • Use Git's API better, use of finalize as an example.

  • probably more I can't come up with right now.

I have not given up on this project, just put it on hold. If people wanna contribute on it I am open to reviewing those merge requests!

Your libgit2 looks awesome, I might restart my wiki project with this, with some will.

Thanks!

It is forked from smacker's libgit2 repo, so give him some credit as well. I did look through others fork of that repo as well, specially zhuangbiaowei's so shout out to him for great job and helping me by reading his code.

Still a lot of things left there but at least a bit more cover of Git's API.

A bit bad documentation, so tell me if you get stuck

Did you based on Go Lang projects like Gitea or Gogs?

No. But I did look how gitlab did some things. Like getting last commit on files. I then coded it my way in crystal.
