One should note, however, that there's currently no official Git library, so there's no "Git library routines". Someone else earlier on this thread pointed out the existense of the libgit2 project which is a mature ะก library for manipulating Git repositories, but no part of Git is currently uses it, and it's a separate project. Various other access libraries exist but have the same status with regard to Git itself. So, practically speaking, calling Git's own plumbing commands *is* the official way to manipulate Git repositories. Yes, it might be inconvenient or might cause performance problems, but it's still the first thing to consider when pondering ways to access Git repos programmatically. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

Of course, the information that git-show provides for you it extracts from some file or files, so in a sense, the answer is "yes".

Although I haven't used it myself, your life would be easier with libgit[1]. It implements most core features, so it might help you (or you may be qble to pick some parts of it).

[git-users] Read GIT directory manualy
Hi everyone. I am programmer and I am developing some application connected to GIT. The task is to get list of changed files in selected commit. I know how to read list of commits: .git/log/HEAD I also know how to get changed files from console: git show --name-only f1b6aea266bc7053786439bed16a6571f8805a51 But I am wondering if I can read some file or files to get same list ? Thanks in advance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
