I saw on your projects list that you plan to port it from shell to Rust. Nice choice. I had a great experience using Rust for git-series (https://github.com/git-series/git-series/ ); the git2-rs binding is a joy to use.
If you run into any issues along the way, or want some help with git2-rs, I'd be happy to chat about it. (And, of course, feel free to borrow anything from git-series; if you find something useful and non-trivial that you'd like to share, let me know and I can extract it into a crate.)
Awesome, thanks for your feedback! Yes, we did consider C++ as well, but IMHO the tooling is better with Rust and we are both familiar with it, so that seems to be the better choice.
