GITTY. ZIG GIT PARSER (WIP)

This lib is in work in progress and should not be used in prod

A zig lib for parsing git objects.

The lib for now parse.

• Blobs
• Trees

As this lib is part of a bigger project I am working on I expect it will evolve with new features that I end up needing.

Current Status

• Parsing: Successfully parses decompressed Git objects (Blobs and Trees) from .git/objects.
• Decompression: Uses std.compress.flate for zlib decompression of Git objects.
• I/O: Utilizes the new std.Io abstraction introduced in recent Zig versions.
• Objects:
  • Blob: Fully implemented (size and content).
  • Tree: Fully implemented (file modes, names, and binary SHAs).
  • Commit: Stubbed (recognized but content parsing not yet implemented).
  • Tag: Stubbed (recognized but content parsing not yet implemented).
• Limitations:
  • Packfiles (.git/objects/pack) are currently skipped.
  • Reference parsing (.git/refs) is not yet implemented.
  • Writing/creating objects is not yet supported.

Usage

The CLI tool can be run against a .git folder to list its contents:

zig build run -- [path to .git folder]

If no path is provided, it attempts to open the .git folder in the current directory.

Contribution.

Firstly I really appreciate one desire to contribute. That said I won't be open to any contribution as this is mostly a project I am on to learn about low level programming. That said you are free to branch from this if you feel like. I will appreciate a repo-mention though.
