The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Downloadig files or git repositories from the web
There are clone methods that do all that. The clone example shows how to use it with status callbacks. Remove all the callbacks, and it is just Repository::clone("url", "destination")

Gex: Git CLI inspired by Emac's Magit built in Rust
The correct way of going about this would be to use only the low-level "plumbing" commands of git and not the porcelain. Or you can get even better performance by using https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs, which basically reimplements git as a library.

[Media] My first rust app, git smart checkout, fuzzy search that branch, I kinda like this language ❤️🦀
You may want into look into this crate: https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs
- `Cargo install --git` -- received unexpected content-type

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (32/2021)!
I want to get the output of git log --follow --format=%aD | tail -1 by using git2-rs. I found git2-rs/examples/log.rs, but I still confused on how to use it.

Question about libgit2, working with index does not show on cli `git status`
I am trying to use libgit2 through the rust library git2. I open the default index for the repository, equivalent to git_repository_index. When verifying it's path, it does point to .git/index.

Looking for a version control crate
https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs uses libgit2-sys which I believe can install git into your finally binary statically.

rebuilderd 0.9.0: reproducible builds verification system used by Arch Linux
Yes! We have multiple rust projects in Arch Linux that we've successfully rebuilt, for example rebuilderd or rustc/cargo itself. We occasionally run into projects that aren't reproducible, this is usually due to issues in build.rs. One of the issues I fixed is this one: https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/pull/619

What are you rewriting in rust?
But I'd suggest joining an existing project instead. This week in Rust has a call for participation section each week. There are also some exciting rewrites like arti, gitoxide, fish, and a steady stream of projects announced in this sub.
- [Gitoxide in May]: Greater pack resolution performance and the beginnings of negotiation algorithms
- [Gitoxide in April] A first step towards `gix status` and `.gitattributes` matching
- Idiomatic, lean, fast and safe pure Rust implementation of Git
What are some alternatives?
When comparing git2-rs and gitoxide you can also consider the following projects:
libgit2 - A cross-platform, linkable library implementation of Git that you can use in your application.
EdenSCM - A Scalable, User-Friendly Source Control System. [Moved to: https://github.com/facebook/sapling]
git-smart-checkout - 🧠 A command-line utility for switching git branches more easily. Switch branches interactively or use a fuzzy search to find that long-forgotten branch name.
freenet-core - Declare your digital independence
rebuilderd - Independent verification of binary packages - Reproducible Builds
Symphonia - Pure Rust multimedia format demuxing, tag reading, and audio decoding library
