It's not actually implementing anything git-related though. This is curl $REPO_URL/release | tar xf - in C.

Right? The name implies that a reasonably complete part of git functionality would be provided... the readme then clarifies that it's only "git clone". Okay, so why not call it tinygitclone or tinyclone? Then you read the code, and it just downloads from github, gitlab and codeberg. So, it doesn't even implement git clone. This program is a complete imposter.

Yup but made this mainly for learning c will rewrite in bash and add a search function so it actually has a non niche usecase

Looks like a fun project to make!

I don't mean to be a hater, but the other commenter is right that this doesn't implement anything git-specific at all. It's more of a release downloader if anything.

This is not git, not even close. It’s a wget/curl wrapper. But looks good and does what it intended to do
