Description

I have a project that is successfully using LibGit2Sharp on Windows, but I am unable to run it using MONO on Linux without a 32bit binary. The target device is a Raspberry Pi Zero-W, which is only available as x86. The project is a c# based CI/CD platform: https://github.com/null511/Photon.

Being able to support operation on the Raspberry Pi is a very important feature for my project, so I was wondering what may be necessary to have this added to LibGit2Sharp? I tried researching how to compile the binaries myself, but was unable to do so.

Research direction

The issue does not name repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by researching how LibGit2Sharp builds and packages its native binaries for Linux, then determine the architecture requirements for the Raspberry Pi target. Done means a documented, working build that runs on the requested device.
