# Gitkv
## Overview

Use a git repo as a key-value store.

## Usage

import gitkv
with gitkv.open(repo_url, fname) as f:
f.write(data)

## Documentation

See http://gitkv.readthedocs.io/

## Installation
GitKV depends on libgit2:

$ wget https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/archive/v0.25.0.tar.gz
$ tar xzf v0.25.0.tar.gz
$ cd libgit2-0.25.0/
$ cmake .
$ make
$ sudo make install

On a Debian system, make sure you install the following packages first:

$ apt-get install git
$ apt-get install libffi6 libffi-dev

To install use pip:

$ pip3 install gitkv


Or clone the repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/edouardklein/gitkv.git
$ python3 setup.py install

Troubleshooting

The verification step may fail if the dynamic linker does not find the libgit2 library:


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/root/Téléchargements/gitkv/gitkv/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
from .gitkv import *
File "/root/Téléchargements/gitkv/gitkv/gitkv.py", line 22, in <module>
import pygit2
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pygit2-0.25.0-py3.6-linux-x86_64.egg/pygit2/__init__.py", line 32, in <module>
from _pygit2 import *
ImportError: libgit2.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This happens for instance in Ubuntu, the libgit2 library is installed within the /usr/local/lib directory, but the linker does not look for it there. To fix this call ldconfig:

$ sudo ldconfig
