swh-loader-git

The Software Heritage Git Loader is a tool and a library to walk a local Git repository and inject into the SWH dataset all contained files that weren't known before.

The main entry points are:

• swh.loader.git.loader.GitLoader for the main loader which can ingest either local or remote git repository's contents. This is the main implementation deployed in production.
• swh.loader.git.from_disk.GitLoaderFromDisk which ingests only local git clone repository.
• swh.loader.git.loader.GitLoaderFromArchive which ingests a git repository wrapped in an archive.
• swh.loader.git.directory.GitCheckoutLoader which ingests a git tree at a specific commit, branch or tag.
