Git implementation in Rust for correctness and performance
A Rust-based Git implementation offering both a library (gix crate) and command-line tools, designed for correctness, performance, and a pleasant developer experience.
gitoxide is a modern Git implementation written in Rust, designed for developers building future-proof applications that demand both correctness and performance. It provides two primary interfaces: the gix Rust crate for programmatic access and command-line binaries (gix and ein) for testing and workflow enhancement.
Developers seeking a type-safe, performant Git library for Rust applications will find gitoxide's modular architecture compelling. The project offers granular control through lower-level plumbing crates like , , and , while the crate serves as a unified entrypoint. Teams migrating from can reference equivalency documentation to ease the transition.
gix-configgix-objectgix-packgixgit2gitoxide supports essential Git operations including clone, fetch, blame, status, diff, commit-graph traversal, worktree checkout, and full read/write access to objects, refs, index, and configuration. Advanced features like pathspecs, revspecs, .gitignore, and .gitattributes are implemented. Push, full merge workflows, rebase, and hooks remain under development. The project follows semantic versioning with a documented stability guide, and several crates have reached production-grade maturity.
Install via cargo binstall gitoxide, download pre-built binaries for Linux/macOS/Windows, or build from source with Cargo. Multiple build profiles accommodate different needs: max for performance, max-pure for pure-Rust builds, and lean for smaller binaries.
When teams consider Gitoxide, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Repository analysis tooling
Build custom Git analytics tools leveraging blame, commit-graph traversal, and diff capabilities with Rust's performance and safety guarantees
CI/CD pipeline integration
Implement reliable clone, fetch, and status operations in build systems with predictable memory usage and error handling
Code review automation
Develop diff analysis and tree comparison tools using gix-diff and gix-object for accurate change detection
Repository migration utilities
Create robust data extraction tools reading objects, refs, and configuration with type-safe APIs for transformation workflows
Several crates like gix-lock and gix-tempfile are production-grade. The main gix crate is usable but evolving. Check the crate status document for specific feature maturity. Command-line tools remain unstable.
gitoxide offers Rust-native memory safety and modular architecture. The gix documentation includes git2 equivalency mappings. Some features like push and full merge are still under development.
The gix and ein command-line binaries are explicitly marked unstable and should not be used in scripts. Use the gix Rust crate for programmatic access instead.
Use 'max' for best performance (requires cmake), 'max-pure' for pure-Rust builds without C dependencies, or 'lean' for smaller binaries with simpler CLI. Check installation documentation for details.
Push support, complete merge workflows (commits), rebase, reset, commit hooks, and some advanced operations are planned but not yet implemented. Clone, fetch, status, diff, and object manipulation work well.
