Scala version of Jgit

Question

Looking for a stable Scala implementation (or something similar) of JGit.

Has anyone worked with anything like it?

I've found scala-git but it's not what I'm looking for.

Answer 1

I did the same search some time ago, but I concluded that it was preferable to use JGit (even if it's a Java library) in Scala. It's used by products with lots of users (eclipse, netbeans, gerrit,...) and even some Scala products like Gitbucket use it. Its API can be easily called from Scala, and does not result in ugly code, nor needs heavy wrappers. Personally I prefer using a Java lib widely used than a pure Scala lib for which I don't know the roadmap nor if it's still maintained. I thought to ScalaGit but it seemed really young (only 67 commits) and not actively maintained (last commit on Apr 21, 2014).

Answer 2

Any java library (like jgit) is perfectly usable in scala as scala run in the java runtime environment. Is there any reason why you can't use it?
