What is rgit?

A minimal Git-like CLI tool built in Rust as a fun project. Get it running in minutes.

Essential Git Commands

Supports core Git operations: init, add, commit, status, clone, push, and write-tree commands.

Built with Rust

Leverages Rust's performance and safety features for a fast and reliable Git-like experience.

Browser Compatible

Run rgit in your browser using WebAssembly at webassembly.sh - no local installation needed.

Local Development

Clone from GitHub and run locally with Cargo. Perfect for development and customization.

WebAssembly Ready

Simple & Focused

A 10-hour fun project focused on essential Git functionality with a clean command-line interface.

Get rgit running

Two simple ways to run rgit: instantly in your browser or locally on your machine.

Special Note for Reviewers

  • 1. If you've installed rgit.wasm previously, it may become rgit (1).wasm when installed again
  • 2. webassembly.sh is name sensitive, so commands won't work with renamed files
  • 3. To fix: select rgit.wasm or delete all files previously installed & clean install again
  • 4. Network features like clone won't work in browser - use local installation for full functionality
  • 5. Browser commands will explicitly mention limitations when you run them

Run in Browser

Steps:

  1. 1. Download WASM file from GitHub releases
