Description

Our git package has several calls to the git package. In order to be able to use our binaries in leaner container images (ie distroless) we need to write alternatives to some of its functions to pure go, and drop the calls to the git binary.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify all usages of the git binary in the git package, understand the required functionality, and implement equivalent pure Go replacements using libraries like go git or by directly interacting with the filesystem for operations like clone, fetch, checkout, etc. Ensure the replacements handle command line arguments and output parsing correctly.
