[GSoC] Blog: Refactoring in order to reduce Git’s global state

Hi everyone!

I’m a GSoC contributor working with Git this summer. I’ve been sharing weekly progress updates on my blog: https://ayu-ch.github.io/

So far, I’ve posted blogs for Week 1 and 2, and I’ll continue to update it regularly throughout the program.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, suggestions, or want to chat.

Thanks!

Hi, Ayush!

Me too :-)

I see that you want to get rid of some usages of 'the_repository'. I don't know if it is in the scope of your project, but something that would help me in my GSoC project is making the function is_bare_repository (environment.c) not dependent of 'the_repository'.

Thanks!

Yes, this is related to the scope of my project. I've had a look at the `is_bare_repository_cfg` variable, along with the related functions and flow. At the moment, I'm occupied with a few patches that I need to finish first. Once I've cleared those, I can revisit this and try to get a better sense of how practical it is.

Thanks:)
