"github_readme_excerpt": "[](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/actions)\n[](https://crates.io/crates/gitoxide)\n\u003cimg src=\"etc/msrv-badge.svg\"\u003e\n\n`gitoxide` is an implementation of `git` written in Rust for developing future-proof applications which strive for correctness and\nperformance while providing a pleasant and unsurprising developer experience.\n\nThere are two primary ways to use `gitoxide`:\n\n1. **As Rust library**: Use the [`gix`](https://docs.rs/gix) crate as a Cargo dependency for API access.\n1. **As command-line tool**: The `gix` binary as development tool to help testing the API in real repositories,\n and the `ein` binary with workflow-enhancing tools. Both binaries may forever be unstable,\n *do not rely on them in scripts*.\n\n[](https://asciinema.org/a/542159)\n\n[`gix`]: https://docs.rs/gix\n\n## Development Status\n\nThe command-line tools as well as the status of each crate is described in\n[the crate status document](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/blob/main/crate-status.md).\n\nFor use in applications, look for the [`gix`](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/blob/main/crate-status.md#gix) crate,\nwhich serves as entrypoint to the functionality provided by various lower-level plumbing crates like\n[`gix-config`](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/blob/main/crate-status.md#gix-config).\n\n### Feature Discovery\n\n\u003e Can `gix` do what I need it to do?\n\nThe above can be hard to answer and this paragraph is here to help with feature discovery.\n\nLook at [`crate-status.md`](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/blob/main/crate-status.md) for a rather exhaustive document that contains\nboth implemented and planned features.\n\nFurther, the [`gix` crate documentation with the `git2` search term](https://docs.rs/gix/latest/gix?search=git2) helps to find all currently\nknown `git2` equivalent method calls.
