I have worked with Fedora and Pardus during GSOC 2008, 2009 and 2010. I am interested to work on libgit2 based minimal git client. I have built the libgit2 from source and tried to write basic git tasks. I have written a lot of python code in the past and now I look for writing good C code. Definitely, writing a git client based on libgit2 seems interesting. I have been using git for my previous GSOC projects as well as personal projects for the past two years. I also have reasonable understanding of git concepts and internals. I checked out git-core code and had a look at the test cases shell script from t directory. I am confident to implement basic git operations clone, checkout, branch, commit, push, pull, log for a CLI static self executable. Looking forward to your response. Thank you. -- Happy Hacking, Sarath Lakshman http://www.sarathlakshman.com ``` ## Ramkumar Ramachandra, 2011-04-03 15:35 Subject: Re: GSOC 11: Minimal git based client based on libgit2 Message-ID: <20110403153515.GB1480@kytes> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20110403153515.GB1480%40kytes In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Sarath, Sarath Lakshman writes: > I am an undergraduate student from India who wants to contribute to > libgit2 during GSOC.
