is there an API for GIT (C++ or other languages)

A company asked me to program a GIT wrapper for them.

The people there have absolute no versioning systems experience, but it will be incorporat开发者_运维问答ed in their daily routine eventually (through my program).

I'm planning on using VC++ to create a tiny windows applet that will help ppl in this process. Any thoughts on that?

What about a Deamon process checking if people want to commit/push their files?

For almost (but not all!) use cases, libgit2 is the easiest way to interact with Git repositories via code.

Git already has two layers: The plumbing (which you may be interested in) on top of which is built the primary porcelain which provides the user interface. If you want to implement something like git-commit but with slightly different semantics all of the underlying programs like git-write-tree and git-rev-parse are there for you to build on.

There's already TortoiseGit, among other "friendly" interfaces. Don't re-invent the wheel, start by researching what's already available.

In order to easier the search for documentation hereafter the link to the official. It's about the plumbing and porcelain: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Plumbing-and-Porcelain
