'Clone Git repository into iPhone
I want to develop an iOS application that executes the git clone command to basically get a repository on the phone. After that the only command is git fetch so I will periodically update the files. After those 2 commands nothing more is required. just local parsing on the files.
My question is can I do that on iOS? I had a similar application working on ubuntu, and it was quite easy to do using 'git .....' commands
Solution 1:[1]
you cant launch other apps / processes on ios so you cant call the git executable.
BUT there is libgit2 - a c static lib you can use in your ios app to work with git: see http://libgit2.github.com
there is a objC wrapper that makes it a breeze to use: see https://github.com/libgit2/objective-git
Solution 2:[2]
You can use Git on iOS via the iSH app.
That is, you can install the app, install Git using apk add git, and then you are good to go.
This might not be directly useful to you, but I'm writing this here because this was the first hit on Google when I searched for "how to git push/git pull on iPhone"
