Description

Hi,

I'm currently doing some prototype development for implementing a HTTP based Git server in ASP.NET / ASP.NET Core. The current version uses a custom controller with then creates a new process executing git.exe with the required api calls (like. upload-pack or receive-pack). Instead of doing it with process creation, I'd like to use libgit2sharp.

Is there a way to call those low-level APIs through libgit2sharp?

Thanks for your feedback!
Marc

Research direction

The issue names an ASP.NET/ASP.NET Core controller and Git upload-pack/receive-pack calls, but no repository files or tests. Start by checking whether libgit2sharp exposes those low-level APIs; done would require a clear implementation path or confirmed limitation for replacing git.exe.
