pygit2

pygit2 is a set of Python bindings for libgit2, a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods. It provides a low-level, plumbing-focused API for interacting with Git repositories. The library is actively maintained, with version 1.19.2 being the latest as of March 2026, and typically sees multiple minor releases per year, often in sync with libgit2 updates and bug fixes. It supports Python versions 3.11 through 3.14, and PyPy3 7.3+.
