.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Libgit
is a wrapper around git9. It does
.I not
provide its own git functionality.
.PP
Git functions that receive a list of files expect the last element to be
.BR nil .
All the file names are expected to be relative to the repository root directory.
.PP
.B Initgit
initializes libgit with an existing repository at location
.BR dir .
This will use
.IR git (1)
to start the backend filesystem.
.PP
.B Gitadd
and
.B gitrm
add and remove files from the git file tracking system by adjusting the
.I INDEX9
file directly.
.PP
.B Gitcommit
will use
.IR git (1)
to commit the numbered list of files.
Arguments are forwarded unchanged, so it should be possible to use wildcards like
.B .
or
.BR * .
.B Msg
will be used as the commit message; it can be multiple lines.
.PP
.B Gitlog
allocates the pointer pointed to by
.B logs
with as many
.B Gitlog
structs as needed, plus an additional sentinel Gitlog structure.
It will fill this array with the last
.B n
commits starting from
.B commit
or
.I HEAD
if
.B commit
is
.BR nil .
The remaining arguments can be a list of files used for filtering, ending with
.BR nil .
.PP
The last
.B Gitlog
structure in the initialized array acts as a sentinel and has its
.B hash
member set to
.BR nil .
The array and all its strings are allocated with
.B malloc
and should be freed after using.
.PP
.B Freegitlogs
can be used for that, which is recommended for future updates.
.SH EXAMPLE
.IP
.EX
Gitlogs *logs;
if (!initgit("/path/to/repo"))
sysfatal("%r");
gitadd("addfileA", "addfileB", nil);
gitrm("rmfileA", "rmfileB", nil);
gitcommit("adds and removes files\\n\\nfor demonstration only",
"addfileA", "addfileB", "rmfileA", "rmfileB", nil);
gitlog(&logs, 2, nil, nil);
for (Gitlog *l = logs; l->hash; l++) {
print("hash: %s\\n", l->hash);
print("author: %s\\n", l->author);
print("date: %s\\n", l->date);
print("msg: %s\\n", l->message);
}
freegitlogs(logs);

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
All commands return 1 or 0 and set errstr.
.SH BUGS
Sure.
.PP
There should be a collection of functions that receive an array of files instead of a
.BR va_list .
.PP
.I Libgit
is incomplete.
