dulwich - Python implementation of Git¶

Overview¶

Dulwich¶

This is the Dulwich project.

It aims to provide an interface to git repos (both local and remote) that doesn’t call out to git directly but instead uses pure Python.

The project is named after the part of London that Mr. and Mrs. Git live in the particular Monty Python sketch.

Differences with other Python Git libraries¶

Unlike other Python Git libraries, Dulwich is available as a standalone package that doesn’t depend on git (like GitPython) being installed or any native code (like pygit2).

This comes at the cost of speed, but makes it easier to deploy in environments where git isn’t available or where it’s important to have a pure Python implementation.

To improve performance, Dulwich includes optional Rust bindings that can be used to speed up low-level operations.

Installation¶

By default, Dulwich’ setup.py will attempt to build and install the optional Rust extensions. The reason for this is that they significantly improve the performance since some low-level operations that are executed often are much slower in CPython.

If you don’t want to install the Rust bindings, specify the –pure argument to setup.py:

$ python setup.py --pure install

or if you are installing from pip:

$ pip install --no-binary dulwich dulwich --config-settings "--build-option=--pure"

Note that you can also specify –build-option in a requirements.txt file, e.g. like this:

dulwich --config-settings "--build-option=--pure"

Getting started¶

Dulwich comes with both a lower-level API and higher-level plumbing (“porcelain”).

For example, to use the lower level API to access the commit message of the last commit:

>>> from dulwich.repo import Repo
>>> r = Repo('.')
>>> r.head()
'57fbe010446356833a6ad1600059d80b1e731e15'
>>> c = r[r.head()]
>>> c
<Commit 015fc1267258458901a94d228e39f0a378370466>
>>> c.message
'Add note about encoding.\n'

And to print it using porcelain:

>>> from dulwich import porcelain
>>> porcelain.log('.', max_entries=1)
--------------------------------------------------

Add note about encoding.

Further documentation¶

The dulwich documentation can be found in docs/ and built by running make doc. It can also be found on the web.

Help¶

There is a #dulwich IRC channel on the OFTC, and a dulwich-discuss mailing list.

Documentation¶

Changelog¶

0.25.1 UNRELEASED

dulwich.porcelain.status now returns regular strings. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #889)

Fix AssertionError when accessing ref names with length matching binary hash length (e.g., 32 bytes for SHA-256). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2040)

Fix commit graph parsing failure when processing commits with 3+ parents (octopus merges) with incomplete EXTRA_EDGE_LIST chunk data. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2054)

Add parse_commit_broken function to parse broken commits. (Valentin Lorentz, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add basic dulwich.aiohttp module that provides server support. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add callback-based authentication support for HTTP and proxy authentication in Urllib3HttpGitClient. This allows applications to handle authentication dynamically without intercepting exceptions. Callbacks receive the authentication scheme information (via WWW-Authenticate or Proxy-Authenticate headers) and can provide credentials or cancel. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #822)

0.25.0 2025-12-17

PLEASE NOTE: This release makes quite a lot of changes to public APIs. This is ahead of a 1.0 release, after which API changes will be kept backwards compatible.

Split out worktree module from porcelain into separate dulwich.worktree module for better code organization. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2037)

Split porcelain module into separate submodules: dulwich.porcelain.tags, dulwich.porcelain.notes, dulwich.porcelain.submodule, and dulwich.porcelain.lfs. Main porcelain module re-exports all functions for backward compatibility. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2032)

Ensure dulwich.porcelain package is properly installed as a directory structure with submodules. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2035)

Add tests for consistent license preamble across codebase and prevent os.environ usage in lower layers. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2033)

Add __all__ exports to all modules for better API clarity and wildcard import support. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2022)

Fix ParamikoSSHVendor interface compatibility with SSHVendor. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2028)

Add fallback when HEAD is missing in dumb HTTP protocol, improving compatibility with repositories that don’t have a HEAD reference. (Antoine Lambert, #2030)

Fix smudge filter subprocess fallback for special characters in path. (Petr Chmelar, #1878)

Fix UTF-8 decode error in process filter protocol when handling binary files. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2023)

Fix porcelain.add() to correctly handle None values in pathspec parameter. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2027)

Add --stat argument to dulwich diff command to display diffstat summary showing files changed and line additions/deletions. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2026)

Avoid signing commits in porcelain.stash() operations to prevent GPG prompt interruptions during automated stashing. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2012)

Improve error handling when trying to remove non-empty directories during worktree operations. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2004)

Move greenthreads support to dulwich/contrib. This code isn’t really developed and only used by the swift support. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Move protocol-level peeled tags functions (serialize_refs(), write_info_refs(), split_peeled_refs(), strip_peeled_refs()) from dulwich.refs to dulwich.protocol. The ^{} peeled tags syntax is now properly isolated to protocol-level code. Remove InfoRefsContainer class (functionality inlined into SwiftInfoRefsContainer). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2009)

Fix get_unstaged_changes() to correctly pass Blob objects to filter callbacks instead of raw bytes. This fixes crashes when using .gitattributes files with filter callbacks like checkin_normalize. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2010)

The ObjectID and Ref types are now newtypes, making it harder to accidentally pass the wrong type - as notified by mypy. Most of this is in lower-level code. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Implement support for core.sharedRepository configuration option. Repository files and directories now respect shared repository permissions for group-writable or world-writable repositories. Affects loose objects, pack files, pack indexes, index files, and other git metadata files. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1804)

Optimize status performance by using stat matching to skip reading and filtering unchanged files. This provides significant performance improvements for repositories with LFS filters, where filter operations can be very expensive. The optimization matches Git’s behavior of using mtime and size comparisons to determine if files need processing. File entries now use nanosecond-resolution timestamps for more accurate change detection. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1999, #2013)

Add support for multi-pack index (MIDX) files for improved performance with multiple pack files. Supports reading and writing MIDX files, including mmap support for efficient loading. Enables faster object lookups across multiple packs. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1998)

Implement git restore and git switch commands with corresponding porcelain functions. The restore command allows restoring files from commits or the index, while switch provides branch switching functionality. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2003)

Add support for core.protectHFS configuration option to protect against HFS+ filesystem vulnerabilities. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Skip tests that require the merge3 module when it is not available, improving test compatibility across different Python environments. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #2002)

Drop support for Python 3.9. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add support for pack bitmap indexes for fast reachability queries. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1792)

Add support for git rerere (reuse recorded resolution) with CLI subcommands and porcelain functions. Supports rerere.enabled and rerere.autoupdate configuration. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1786)

Add support for git mailinfo command to extract patch information from email messages. Implements dulwich mailinfo CLI command, porcelain.mailinfo(), and patch.mailinfo() with support for subject munging, -k/-b flags, –scissors, –encoding, and –message-id options. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1839)

Add support for column formatting. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1837)

Add dulwich diagnose command to display diagnostic information about the Python environment including Python version, PYTHONPATH, sys.path, Dulwich version, and installed dependencies with their versions. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1835)

Add support for SHA256 repositories. Dulwich can now read and write Git repositories using SHA256 object format. This includes support for loose objects, pack files (v1 and v2 indexes), tree parsing with SHA256 hashes, pack bitmap indexes, commit graphs, and network protocol operations (clone, fetch, push). The Rust extensions have been updated to support variable hash lengths. SHA256 repositories require format version 1 and the objectFormat extension. The dulwich init command now supports --objectformat option to create SHA256 repositories. Client and server implementations advertise and negotiate object-format capabilities. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1115, #1604)

0.24.10 2025-11-10

Fix compatibility with python 3.9. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1991)

0.24.9 2025-11-10

Fix passing key_filename and ssh_command parameters to SSHGitClient. (Saugat Pachhai)

Relax check to support subclasses of Urllib3HttpGitClient. Fixes regression from 0.24.2 where subclasses of Urllib3HttpGitClient would not receive the config object. (Saugat Pachhai)

Fix test_concurrent_ref_operations_compatibility test flakiness. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Fix warnings in test suite. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

0.24.8 2025-10-29

Add Rust implementation of pack delta creation (create_delta). The implementation uses the similar crate for efficient diff computation. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Extend http.extraHeader configuration to support per-URL settings. Allows configuring different HTTP headers for specific URLs using http.<url>.extraHeader syntax, enabling authentication in CI/CD environments like GitHub Actions. More specific URL configurations override less specific ones. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #882)

Add support for GIT_REFLOG_ACTION environment variable in porcelain functions. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1811)

Add support for namespace isolation via NamespacedRefsContainer. Implements Git’s namespace feature for isolating refs within a single repository using the refs/namespaces/ prefix. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1809)

Add support for GIT_FLUSH environment variable to control output buffering in CLI commands. When GIT_FLUSH=1, output is flushed after each write for real-time visibility. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1810)

Implement dulwich interpret-trailers functionality to parse and manipulate structured metadata (trailers) in commit messages. Adds porcelain.interpret_trailers() with support for parsing, adding, replacing, and formatting trailers. Also fixes the signoff parameter in porcelain.commit() to add Signed-off-by trailers. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1826)

Add support for recursive submodule updates via --recursive flag in dulwich submodule update command and recursive parameter in porcelain.submodule_update(). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1813)

Add support for dulwich replace command to create refs that replace objects. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1834)

Implement advanced Git object specification support: index path lookup (:, :0:, :1:, :2:, :3:) for accessing files from the index and merge stages, and reflog time specifications (@{time}) using Git’s approxidate format (e.g., HEAD@{yesterday}`, ``master@{2.weeks.ago}). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1783)

Add dulwich stripspace command to remove unnecessary whitespace from text. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1838)

0.24.7 2025-10-23

Add sparse index support for improved performance with large repositories. Implements reading and writing of sparse directory entries, index expansion/ collapse operations, and the ‘sdir’ extension. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1797)

Add support for core.fsyncObjectFiles configuration option. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1817)

Work around typing module bug in Python 3.9.0 and 3.9.1 by using string annotation for Callable type in reflog.py. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1948)

Fix passing ssh_command, password, and key_filename parameters to the SSH vendor. Regression from 0.24.2. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1945)

Fix LFS URL validation to prevent DNS resolution errors when lfs.url is configured with an invalid value. Implement full support for file:// URLs to access local LFS repositories, matching git-lfs behavior. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1951)

0.24.6 2025-10-19

Fix import failure when sys.stdin is None. The dulwich.server module can now be imported in environments where sys.stdin is None, such as Windows GUI apps, apps started with pythonw, or apps using ProcessPoolExecutor. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1939)

Add support for dulwich reflog expire and dulwich reflog delete commands. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1798)

Add dulwich grep command. Supports regular expressions, case-insensitive search, line numbers, pathspec filtering, and respecting .gitignore patterns. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1776)

Add support for octopus merge strategy. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1816)

Add support for git show-branch command to display branches and their

Add dulwich cherry command to find commits not merged upstream. Compares commits by patch ID to identify equivalent patches regardless of commit metadata. Supports automatic upstream detection from tracking branches and verbose mode to display commit messages. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1782)

Add support for dulwich mailsplit command to split mbox files and Maildir into individual message files. Supports mboxrd format, custom precision, and all standard git mailsplit options. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1840)

Implement recursive merge strategy for handling multiple merge bases (criss-cross merges). When multiple common ancestors exist, the algorithm creates a virtual merge base by recursively merging them, reducing false conflicts in complex merge scenarios. The recursive strategy is now used automatically by porcelain.merge(). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1815)

Add support for dulwich show-branch command to display branches and their commits. Supports filtering by local/remote branches, topological ordering, list mode, independent branch detection, and merge base calculation. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1829)

Add dulwich config command to get and set repository or global configuration options. Supports getting/setting values, listing all config, getting all values for multivars, and unsetting values. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1775)

Add support for GIT_TRACE environment variable for debugging. Supports output to stderr (values “1”, “2”, or “true”), file descriptors (3-9), file paths, and directories (creates per-process trace files). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1863)

Add extract_signature() method to Commit and Tag classes that returns (payload, signature, signature_type) tuple. Supports both PGP and SSH signature detection. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Fix Git filter protocol implementation to properly handle the two-phase response format (initial headers, content, final headers) as specified in the Git protocol documentation. This fixes compatibility with Git LFS and other filters that send status messages in final headers. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1889)

Add dulwich worktree repair command to repair worktree administrative files after worktrees or the main repository have been moved. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1799)

Add colorized diff support for the show command with --color argument. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1741)

Fix Windows path handling in _ensure_parent_dir_exists to correctly handle drive letters during checkout operations. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1751)

Fix Windows config loading to only use current Git config path, avoiding loading older config files. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1732)

Add interactive rebase support with dulwich rebase -i, including support for pick, reword, edit, squash, fixup, drop, exec, and break commands. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1696)

Fix handling of CRLF line endings with core.autocrlf = input to prevent unchanged files from appearing as unstaged in status. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1773)

Add support for core.whitespace configuration for whitespace error detection and fixing. Supports blank-at-eol, space-before-tab, indent-with-non-tab, tab-in-indent, blank-at-eof, cr-at-eol, and tabwidth settings. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1806)

Add support for core.safecrlf configuration to check if CRLF/LF conversions would be reversible and optionally abort or warn on potentially lossy conversions. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1806)

Add support for http.extraHeader configuration to pass additional HTTP headers to the server when communicating over HTTP(S). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1769)

Optimize LFS filter performance by avoiding redundant disk writes when checking file status. The LFS store now checks if objects already exist before writing them to disk, significantly improving dulwich status performance in repositories with many LFS-tracked files. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1789)

Add filter server support. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1789)

Add support for patiencediff algorithm in diff. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1795)

Add IPv6 support for git:// protocol URLs. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1796)

Fix bug in DiskRefsContainer._remove_packed_ref that prevented packed ref deletions from being persisted to disk. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Optimize writing unchanged refs by avoiding unnecessary fsync when ref already has the desired value. File locking behavior is preserved to ensure proper concurrency control. (Dan Villiom Podlaski Christiansen, Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1120)

Fix Unicode filename encoding issue on Windows where non-ASCII filenames were corrupted during clone/checkout operations. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #203)

0.23.2 2025-07-07

Print deprecations on usage, not import. (Alyssa Coghlan, #1650)

Add support for core.protectHFS configuration setting to protect against paths that could be misinterpreted on HFS+ filesystems. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #246)

Only write Git index extensions when they contain meaningful data. Previously, dulwich would write empty extensions to the index file, causing unnecessary bloat. (Andrew Shadura, Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1643)

Document that porcelain.push returns per-ref status information in the SendPackResult object. Added test coverage to verify this functionality works as expected. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #780)

Add porcelain submodule commands: submodule_update, submodule_add``g CLI command, and ``submodule_update CLI command. Add --recurse-submodules option to clone command. (#506, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Support popping stashes. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add support for parsing Git attributes from .gitattributes files. This enables proper handling of text/binary detection, line ending normalization, and filter specifications for files. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1211)

Add git bisect functionality including core bisect logic, porcelain commands (bisect_start, bisect_bad, bisect_good, bisect_skip, bisect_reset, bisect_log, bisect_replay), and CLI support. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1631)

Fix porcelain.describe() to dynamically determine hash length based on uniqueness, matching git describe behavior more closely. Previously used a hardcoded 7-character hash length. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #824)

Add test for porcelain.add() to verify files can be added when the current working directory is within a gitignored directory. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #550)

ParamikoSSHVendor now reads SSH configuration from ~/.ssh/config. Host settings including hostname, user, port, and identity file are now respected when establishing SSH connections. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #443)

0.23.1 2025-06-30

Support untracked_files="normal" argument to porcelain.status, and make this the default. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #835)

Fix parse_commit to properly dereference annotated tags when checking out tags. Previously, checking out an annotated tag would fail with a KeyError. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1638)

Handle different file type transitions properly in update_working_tree (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1638)

Fix KeyError when pulling from a shallow clone. Handle missing commits gracefully in graph traversal operations for shallow repositories. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #813)

Return symrefs from ls_refs. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #863)

Support short commit hashes in porcelain.reset(). (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1154)

Add basic cherry-pick subcommand. (#1599, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add revert command to dulwich.porcelain and CLI. (#1599, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add annotate support as well as annotate and blame commands. (#245, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Fix apply_delta to raise ApplyDeltaError instead of AssertionError when the source buffer size doesn’t match the delta header. This issue only affected the pure Python implementation when the Rust extension was not available. The Rust implementation already raised the correct exception. (#1606, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Fix porcelain.reset --hard to properly delete files that don’t exist in the target tree. Previously, when resetting to a remote branch, files deleted in the remote were not removed locally due to incorrect path normalization on Windows. (#840, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add support for includes in configuration files. (#1216, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Support timeouts for HTTP client operations. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add support for reset --mixed and reset --soft modes in porcelain.reset() and the CLI. Mixed reset updates HEAD and index but leaves working tree unchanged. Soft reset only updates HEAD. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Apply line-ending normalization in build_index_from_tree to respect core.autocrlf configuration during checkout operations. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #663)

Add prune method to object stores for cleaning up orphaned temporary pack files. This is now called by garbage_collect() to match Git’s behavior. Also added prune command to dulwich.porcelain. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #558)

Fix porcelain.remove() to work correctly when called from a directory other than the repository root. Relative paths are now interpreted as relative to the repository root rather than the current working directory. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #821)

Add support for auto garbage collection, and invoke from some porcelain commands. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1600)

Add filter-branch support to dulwich.porcelain and dulwich.filter_branch module for rewriting commit history. Supports filtering author, committer, and message fields. (#745, Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add mv porcelain command. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1633)

0.23.0 2025-06-21

Add basic rebase subcommand. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add gc command to dulwich.porcelain. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #92)

Add unpack-objects plumbing command to unpack objects from pack files into loose objects in the repository. This command extracts all objects from a pack file and writes them to the object store as individual files. Available in both dulwich.porcelain.unpack_objects() and as a CLI command dulwich unpack-objects. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add merge-tree plumbing command to dulwich.porcelain and CLI. This command performs three-way tree merges without touching the working directory or creating commits, similar to dulwich merge-tree. It outputs the merged tree SHA and lists any conflicted paths. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add porcelain.count_objects() function to count unpacked objects and their disk usage. Returns a tuple of (count, size) for simple usage or a CountObjectsResult dataclass with detailed statistics when verbose=True. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Add support for pack index format version 3. This format supports variable hash sizes to enable future SHA-256 support. The implementation includes reading and writing v3 indexes with proper hash algorithm identification (1 for SHA-1, 2 for SHA-256). (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Fix LocalGitClient assertion error when fetching externally cloned repositories into MemoryRepo. Previously, the client would fail with an AssertionError when trying to process pack data from repositories that were cloned externally. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1179)

Add support for os.PathLike objects throughout the API. Functions that accept file paths now support pathlib.Path objects in addition to strings and bytes. This includes repository operations, configuration file handling, ignore file processing, and all major entry points. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1074)

Add support for format argument to Repo.init() and Repo.init_bare() to specify repository format version (0 or 1). This allows creating repositories with different format versions by setting the core.repositoryformatversion configuration value. (Jelmer Vernooĳ)

Fix Rust implementation of sorted_tree_items() to correctly handle submodules. Previously, submodules (mode 0o160000) were incorrectly treated as directories in the sorting order, causing different results compared to the Python implementation. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1325)

Fix porcelain.add() to stage both untracked and modified files when no paths are specified. Previously, only untracked files were staged, inconsistent with Git’s behavior. Now behaves like git add -A when called without paths. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #746)

Fix porcelain.add() symlink handling to allow adding symlinks that point outside the repository. Previously, the function would fail when trying to add a symlink pointing outside the repo due to aggressive path resolution. Now only resolves the parent directory for symlinks, matching Git’s behavior. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #789)

Fix porcelain.add() when adding repository root path or directories. Previously, adding the repository path itself would incorrectly stage b'./' instead of the actual untracked files, leading to repository corruption. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #1178, #655)

Improve porcelain.add() documentation to correctly describe default behavior. (Jelmer Vernooĳ, #895)

Fix gitignore pattern matching for directory negation patterns. Patterns like !data/*/ now correctly unignore direct subdirectories while still ignoring files in the parent directory, matching Git’s behavior.
