[![Build Status](https://github.com/ethomson/dogged/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ethomson/dogged/actions)

[Dogged](https://github.com/ethomson/dogged) and is a .NET wrapper around

[libgit2](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2).  It was inspired by the

[LibGit2Sharp](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp) project.

LibGit2Sharp remains the more mature option for .NET development of Git

repository management tasks.  This library is in early development;

Dogged differs from LibGit2Sharp in a number of ways:

* **Providing direct native access and a higher-level wrapper**  

  LibGit2Sharp hides the PInvoke bindings as private methods; Dogged

  exposes them in the `Dogged.Natives` package.  A number of users want

  to avoid any managed layer and call the native code directly; with

  `Dogged.Native` they can do so.

* **More direct native access with minimal caching or pre-loading**  

  A number of LibGit2Sharp APIs try to "pre-load" data from the underlying

  native bindings.  This allows LibGit2Sharp to offer an API that has few

  `IDisposable` types at the expense of always loading data that may go

  unused.  In contrast, Dogged attempts to only load data when necessary.

* **A more direct mapping to libgit2**  

  LibGit2Sharp includes a number of classes that attempt to emulate parts

  of the Git command-line.  Dogged attempts to more directly map libgit2,

  believing that innovation should occur in the shared native library so

  that all consumers can benefit, not just the .NET users.
