Grit is a Ruby library providing object-oriented read/write access to Git repositories, mixing shell-outs to the git binary with pure Ruby reimplementations. It was developed to power GitHub but is explicitly no longer maintained, with rugged recommended as its successor.
Use cases
- read commits from a git repository in ruby
- traverse git trees and blobs programmatically
- write to git repositories from a ruby application
- build git repository browsing features
- inspect commit history of a repo
When to choose
- you are maintaining a legacy ruby codebase already using grit
- you need a pure-ruby object model over git data and cannot use libgit2 bindings
When to avoid
- starting a new ruby project that needs git access - use rugged instead
- you need maintained software or bug fixes
- you need modern git features or performance
