PyGitX

Python bindings for Git history access, powered by Rust and libgit2.

What is it?

• Fast, cross-platform Git operations via libgit2.

• Python wrapper around a small Rust core; heavy lifting stays in Rust.

• Tools for reading commits, resolving revisions, and rewriting history (amend, rewrite author, squash, rebase, filter, remove paths).

Installation

• PyPI: pip install pygitx

• Dev/editable: see README for venv/maturin steps.

Get started

• Try the demo: python examples/demo.py --help to generate a sample repo, list commits, or exercise rewriting commands.

• Build docs locally: make docs (HTML at docs/_build/html).
