Geef (Git NIF)

Geef is a simple Erlang NIF that exposes some of the libgit2 library functions to Erlang.

INSTALLING AND RUNNING

First you need to install libgit2:

$ git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git
$ cd libgit2
$ make
$ make install

Now, if you have Erlang OTP_R13B04 installed, you can compile this NIF to run in it.

$ git clone git://github.com/carlosmn/geef.git
$ cd geef
$ make

The API looks basically like this:

{ok, Repo} = geef_repo:open(".").
Workdir = geef_repo:workdir(Repo).
{ok, Blob} = geef_blob:lookup(Repo, geef_oid:parse("abcde...")).

Elixir

Some effort is made to let elixir programmers use the library in a more OO fashion. As an example, you can resolve a reference by calling a resolve method on it.

{ :ok, original_ref } = :geef_ref.lookup(repo, refname)
{ :ok, resolved_ref } = original_ref.resolve()

CONTRIBUTING
