…this year. There is a recent effort to vibe-loop more Git into Gitoxide, which is interesting: https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide/pull/2538 I still think that this is a project that can have value with a little more work. This…

…cheering. Cheering wildly. The zig wasm sounds so so good. I've enjoyed git on rust via gitoxide ( https://github.com/gitoxidelabs/gitoxide ) but haven't tried wasm yet. I rather expect gitoxide/rust would be bigger. The ability to really…

JJ doesn't directly touch the `.git` directory, it uses gitoxide¹ to perform git operations. ¹ https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide

…uses it to power a git CLI called gix. As of October it looks like it can do fetches and clones: https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide/discussions/623 . Since the git CLI is subcommand-based, it wouldn't be too hard to provide replacements for…

Or my own project: https://github.com/martinvonz/jj . I think https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide also plans to provide a different CLI, but I don't think they've started working on it.

For Rust, see https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide , which provides both a pure Rust library and a command-line tool built atop that library.
