LibGit2CS

A managed C# port of libgit2 1.9.4 for reading and writing Git repositories, inspecting history and diffs, and working with remotes. No native libgit2 installation is needed; filesystem operations can use platform OS APIs.

Install

This package targets .NET 11. Review the compatibility guide for requirements and limitations.

dotnet add package LibGit2CS --prerelease

Pin the package version validated by your application. XML API documentation is included for IDE IntelliSense.

Open a repository

Use this as Program.cs in a .NET 11 console application with implicit usings. Pass an existing repository path as the first command-line argument:

using LibGit2CS.Core;
using LibGit2CS.Repository;

using var cancellation = new CancellationTokenSource();
CancellationToken ct = cancellation.Token;
using var context = new GitContext();
await using var repo = await GitRepository.OpenAsync(args[0], context, ct);

var head = await repo.HeadAsync(ct);
Console.WriteLine(head is null ? "HEAD is unborn or missing." : head.Name);

GitContext owns settings and registries. Dispose repositories before their context. HeadAsync returns null for an unborn or missing HEAD.
