# go-git [](https://godoc.org/srcd.works/go-git.v4) [](https://travis-ci.org/src-d/go-git) [](https://codecov.io/github/src-d/go-git) [](https://codebeat.co/projects/github-com-src-d-go-git)
A low level and highly extensible git implementation in **pure Go**.
*go-git* aims to reach the completeness of [libgit2](https://libgit2.github.com/) or [jgit](http://www.eclipse.org/jgit/), nowadays covers the **majority** of the plumbing **read operations** and **some** of the main **write operations**, but lacks the main porcelain operations such as merges.
It is **highly extensible**, we have been following the open/close principle in its design to facilitate extensions, mainly focusing the efforts on the persistence of the objects.
### ... is this production ready?
The master branch represents the `v4` of the library, it is currently under active development and is planned to be released in early 2017.
If you are looking for a production ready version, please take a look to the [`v3`](https://github.com/src-d/go-git/tree/v3) which is being used in production at [source{d}](http://sourced.tech) since August 2015 to analyze all GitHub public repositories (i.e. 16M repositories).
We recommend the use of `v4` to develop new projects since it includes much new functionality and provides a more *idiomatic git* API
Installation
------------
The recommended way to install *go-git* is:
```
go get -u srcd.works/go-git.v4/...
```
Examples
--------
> Please note that the functions `CheckIfError` and `Info` used in the examples are from the [examples package](https://github.com/src-d/go-git/blob/master/examples/common.go#L17) just to be used in the examples.
### Basic example
A basic example that mimics the standard `git clone` command
```go
// Clone the given repository to the given directory
Info("git clone https://github.com/src-d/go-git")
_, err := git.PlainClone("/tmp/foo", false, &git.CloneOptions{
URL: "https://github.com/src-d/go-git",
Progress: os.Stdout,
})
CheckIfError(err)
```
Outputs:
```
Counting objects: 4924, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (1333/1333), done.
Total 4924 (delta 530), reused 6 (delta 6), pack-reused 3533
```
### In-memory example
Cloning a repository into memory and printing the history of HEAD, just like `git log` does
```go
// Clones the given repository in memory, creating the remote, the local
// branches and fetching the objects, exactly as:
Info("git clone https://github.com/src-d/go-siva")
r, err := git.Clone(memory.NewStorage(), nil, &git.CloneOptions{
URL: "https://github.com/src-d/go-siva",
})
CheckIfError(err)
// Gets the HEAD history from HEAD, just like does:
Info("git log")
// ... retrieves the branch pointed by HEAD
ref, err := r.Head()
CheckIfError(err)
// ... retrieves the commit object
commit, err := r.Commit(ref.Hash())
CheckIfError(err)
// ... retrieves the commit history
history, err := commit.History()
CheckIfError(err)
// ... just iterates over the commits, printing it
for _, c := range history {
fmt.Println(c)
}
```
Outputs:
```
