Taming Git complexity with Rust and Gitoxide

FOSDEM

Git's internal design is both elegant and notoriously complex. Building reliable tooling on top of it means dealing with purpose-built data structures, performance trade-offs, and years of historical quirks. In this talk, we’ll explore how Rust, together with Gitoxide[0], makes it possible to create fast, correct, and ergonomic version-control tooling. We’ll look at how Rust’s ownership model and type system help avoid whole classes of errors, and how Gitoxide exposes a safe and composable inter
