This repo contains a pure Go implementation of the command line git client.
Its primary purpose is to enable users of operating systems where Go is supported but the canonical git implementation is not (ie. Plan 9) to use git.
IT IS NOWHERE NEAR READY
The main goal is to enable go get to work by doing a real
checkout without any hacks such as downloading a .zip from
GitHub and pretending it is a checkout. (This should be done,
and any breakages with go get if you rename the binary from
dgit to git and put it on your path should be reported
as an issue.)
The secondary goal is to enable just enough of the git command line to allow simple development (ie. simple usages of git add/commit/push/status/diff/log.)
The third, stretch goal, is to have a complete command-line compatible implementation of git that can be used as a drop-in replacement for git.
The dgit tool is pronounced dee-git. The extra letter is there to distinguish it from the standard git implementation. The letter 'd' was chosen because it is on the home row of the keyboard, which makes it easier to type.
