I am porting libgit2sharp to Qt / C++ #6856

Hi @StevePunak - we wouldn't likely add C++ or Qt to the libgit2 repository directly. We do have a handful of language bindings (in their own repo) within the libgit2 organization (see, for example, https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp), which I'm happy to consider for future work, but it feels like the wrong direction (IMO), as it suggests a level of "officialness". (For example, one would need to resolve the differences between a new Qt/C++ binding and and https://invent.kde.org/libraries/libqgit2 - is one "more official" than the other, and why? I don't have answers to these questions yet.) In any case, I'm excited to see you working on this. 🙏 At a minimum, we're happy to update our README to add a link to your project, and I'm happy to figure out how we can work together. |

Edward: Thanks for the response. I probably wasn't clear in my original post, for which I apologize. My intent was to create this as a potential peer to libgit2sharp in the libgit2 GitHub, not to put it in the libgit2 repository directly (which I agree would be a very wrong direction ;). Much of the code is actually a straightforward port from libgit2sharp, so it seems somewhere in this group of repos would be a natural home once it is stable. Hope this clears things up. If I'm posting in the wrong place, any direction to the correct maintainer to contact would be appreciated. Regards, |

Hey there Edward. I've published the first cut of my C++/Qt binding library to my personal GitHub at https://github.com/StevePunak/libgit2qt. Regards, |

Hey there. My name is Stephen Punak.
We had a need to perform a range of git activities in our CI/CD pipelines where our processes are mostly Qt. I started out by referencing the libgit2sharp native calls as a way of understanding the native libgit2 C language flow in an OO model. As it turned out, a direct port to C++ seemed to be the best option.
So, I am about half way through a complete port of libgit2sharp to Qt/C++. I'm wondering if there is interest by the maintainers of libgit2 in a Qt port in general, or even hosting that in the libgit2 repo?
Thanks,
Stephen Punak
