go-git
A highly extensible Git implementation in pure Go.
Runssource: GitHubhomepageGoApache-2.0commit e9e5820fe0d2
Go, Apache-2.0 licensed. The project labels itself: git, git client, git library, git server, go git and golang.
go-git runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 31 minutes and hit 6 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
The go-git repository builds from source and passes all tests (including plumbing, porcelain, storage, transport, and worktree) when run with -short; the single non-short failure is a documented git-version oracle mismatch in gitignore conformance tests requiring git >= 2.52.0
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
- Installed in 31 minutes.
- Recovered from all 6 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
- Licensed Apache-2.0, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
What it is a reasonable choice for
- Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/go-git)Questions
- Does go-git run?
- Yes. go-git runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 31 minutes, hitting 6 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test go-git?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit e9e5820fe0d2. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test go-git?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.15: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does go-git take to install?
- 31 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does go-git need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing go-git?
- 6 things broke in the recorded run, and 6 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- Where is the evidence for go-git?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
