Complete and extend the remote-object-info command for git cat-file
Contributor: Pablo Sabater
Git's partial clone allows cloning repositories without downloading all objects (blobs, trees, ...). These objects are fetched on demand from the...
Improve Disk Space Recovery for Partial Clones
Contributor: Siddharth Shrimali
Problem: Git's "partial clone" is a lifesaver for huge repos because it lets you download only the files you actually need. But once you download a...
Refactoring in order to reduce Git’s global state
Contributor: Tian Yuchen
Git’s core C codebase still relies heavily on global state, such as the_repository and various environment-derived variables defined in...
Refactoring in order to reduce Git’s global state
Contributor: Ayush Chandekar
Git currently relies on a global object the_repository and several global environment-related variables, which limits modularity and complicates...
Machine-Readable Repository Information Query Tool
Contributor: Lucas Oshiro
This project introduces a new Git sub-command (currently intended to be called git repo-info) that will centralize data currently retrieved by git...
Consolidate ref-related functionality into git-refs
Contributor: Meet Soni
This project aims to streamline reference management in Git by consolidating functionality currently spread across multiple commands into a single...
Move existing tests to a unit testing framework
Contributor: Ghanshyam Thakkar
Git has many existing end-to-end tests which are written in shell script. However, to unit test some of the internal libraries/functionality, we use...
Move and improve reftable tests in the unit testing framework
Contributor: Chand
A new unit testing framework was introduced to the Git mailing list last year with the aim of simplifying testing and improving maintainability by...
Implement consistency check for refs
Contributor: shejialuo
The project addresses the issue that the current git-fsck command cannot detect corruption in the "packed-refs" file and lacks explicit checks for...
Unify ref-filter formats with other --pretty formats
Contributor: Kousik Sanagavarapu
Git has an old problem of duplicated implementations of some logic. For example, Git had at least 4 different implementations to format command...
More Sparse Index Integrations
Contributor: SHUQI LIANG
The "sparse-index" is a feature that reduces the size of the working directory's index to function effectively with "sparse-checkout", resulting in...
More Sparse Index Integrations
Contributor: Shaoxuan Yuan
The spare index feature accelerates Git commands when using sparse-checkout in cone mode. This works by modifying the on-disk index file in a way...
Reachability bitmap improvements
Contributor: Abhra303
Git uses bitmaps to speed up the work of knowing which object(trees, blobs, etc.) can be reached from which commit. The current bitmap implementation...
Use ref-filter formats in git cat-file
Contributor: ZheNing Hu
git cat-file has options --batch[= ] and --batch-check[= ] that can take a . It would be nice if the implementation of this would use the as much...
Finish converting submodule to builtin
Contributor: Atharva Raykar
Git has historically had many components implemented in the form of shell scripts. This was less than ideal for several reasons: Portability:...
Convert submodule to builtin
Contributor: shourya
Some Git commands were initially implemented directly in shell script with some instances of Perl as well. As times progressed, various platforms to...
Implement Generation Number v2
Contributor: abhishekkumar8222
Git uses various clever methods for making operations on very large repositories faster, from bitmap indices for git fetch to generation numbers...
Unify ref-filter formats with other --pretty formats
Contributor: Hariom Verma
Git has an old problem of duplicated implementations of some logic. For example, Git had at least 4 different implementations to format command...
Improve consistency of sequencer commands
Contributor: __rohit
Since when it was created in 2005, the git rebase command has been implemented using shell scripts that are calling other git commands. Commands like...
Make pack access code thread-safe
Contributor: Matheus Tavares
As direct as possible, the goal with this project is to make more of Git’s codebase thread-safe, so that we can improve parallelism in various...
Convert “git stash” to builtin
Contributor: Paul-Sebastian Ungureanu
Currently, many components of Git are still in the form of Shell or Perl scripts. This choice makes sense especially when considering how faster new...
Convert rebase and it's options to C
Contributor: Pratik Karki
Many components of Git are still in the form of shell and Perl scripts. This has certain advantages of being extensible but causes problems in...
Convert interactive rebase to C
Contributor: Alban Gruin
git is a modular source control management software, and all of its subcommands are programs on their own. A lot of them are written in C, but a...
Incremental Rewrite of git-submodules
Contributor: Prathamesh Chavan
To manage the external dependencies, git submodule commands have been frequently used by the developers in their projects. But as most of the...
Incremental Rewrite of Git Bisect
Contributor: Pranit Bauva
Git bisect is a frequently used command which helps the developers in finding the commit which introduced the regression. Some part of it is written...
