You could try the alternative version of the database-generator: https://github.com/jmforsythe/Git-Heat-Map/pull/6 - it shouldn't crash.

Computing diffs is what takes large amounts of time as the object database is used intensively along with limited efficiency of object caches. I couldn't resist and threw `gitoxide…

`gitoxide` can currently perform many of the tasks required, and closing the loop for a full clone with worktree is going to happen at the end of this year. That said, here is how …

That number is already based on using `zlib-ng`. Sometimes I wonder if it's cheating since `git` might not actually use it. In any case, improving the efficiency of `zlib` along wi…

> This is fast enough for small repositories, but as the repository increases in size the overhead of parsing these plain-text files to get the graph relationships becomes too expe…

I frequently use `tig` to see the commit history, and pull out a single commit hash for use in `git checkout` or to reference it elsewhere. Probably it's just me not knowing all th…

It's a project goal to make the API so accessible and easy to use, that's it's straightforward to quickly throw together your very own custom commands that do exactly what you need…

Great point! Windows is already tested on CI, but I used the opportunity to make Windows support explicit in the project goals.

I am not interested in competing with libgit2, and have no plans in adding and maintaining C-bindings to the project. This doesn't mean, however, that other parties couldn't mainta…

That sounds like such a project should definitely see improvements when using GitOxide. Even in projects of the size of the Linux Kernel checkouts can take time as those only reach…

Right now, the project is clearly missing contribution guidelines, but now that it's a bit more public these will be added soon, possibly along with some tickets that are ready for…

Let me reply with the most tedious parts, as I wouldn't want to make the impression of labelling git as 'bad' - I have been fascinated by it for more than 10 years now and it's tim…

Absolutely! My plan is to proclaim a version 1.0 once the basic workflow of clone-commit-push can be performed, which should be enough for many to start using it. From that point o…

As this is part of the every-day workflow, I will think long and hard on how to make it as painless and user-friendly as possible. Having a more user-friendly experience on the com…

Unfortunately I can't yet tell, as the corresponding code does not yet exist. Object and pack lookup is competitively fast so I would hope that translates well to everyday operatio…

I am the author, and will be here for a few hours in case there are any questions. (proof: https://keybase.io/byronbates )

The same author also wrote hyperfine, a tool to compare performance of various program runs. hyperfine './target/release/hexyl ./target/release/hexyl' 'xxd ./target/release/hexyl' …
