JGit- Git with Java

JGit is the Java implementation of Git. It is a library, that also can be used in your own applications. It also provides some sort of CLI operations. EGit on the other side is the Eclipse team provider plugin for Git, which uses JGit as Git implementation.

JGit has very few dependencies, making it suitable for embedding in any Java application, whether or not the application is taking advantage of other Eclipse or OSGi technologies. JGit is a relatively full-featured implementation of Git written natively in Java, and is widely used in the Java community

JGit is more than simply a Java library for working with git repository.

Maven Repository

JGit can be consumed in a Maven build. Multiple artifacts are available, depending on the application's requirements:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>jgit-repository</id>
      <url>https://repo.eclipse.org/content/groups/releases/</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
