gix_ref/lib.rs
1//! A crate for handling the references stored in various formats in a git repository.
2//!
3//! References are also called _refs_ which are used interchangeably.
4//!
5//! Refs are the way to keep track of objects and come in two flavors.
6//!
7//! * symbolic refs are pointing to another reference
8//! * peeled refs point to the an object by its [`ObjectId`]
9//!
10//! They can be identified by a relative path and stored in various flavors.
11//!
12//! * **files**
13//! * **[loose][file::Store]**
14//! * one reference maps to a file on disk
15//! * **packed**
16//! * references are stored in a single human-readable file, along with their targets if they are symbolic.
