==============

The Software Heritage Git Loader is a tool and a library to walk a local
Git repository and inject into the SWH dataset all contained files that
weren't known before.

The main entry points are

  repository's contents.

- :class:`swh.loader.git.from_disk.GitLoaderFromDisk` which ingests a local git clone
  repository.

- :class:`swh.loader.git.loader.GitLoaderFromArchive` which ingests a git repository
  wrapped in an archive.
