feat: git clone via gix for remote template sources#2
Merged
Conversation
- Add gix dependency for pure-Rust git operations (no C deps) - Implement clone_template() with branch/tag/commit checkout via --ref - Wire Git source into generate() flow (replaces GitNotImplemented stub) - Add GitClone and GitCheckout error variants - Clone to temp directory; caller owns cleanup Closes diecut-fgz
- Cache cloned templates at ~/.cache/diecut/templates/ (XDG-compliant) - Deterministic cache keys with URL normalization (trailing .git, slashes) - get_or_clone() checks cache before cloning, with cross-filesystem fallback - list_cached() for enumerating cached templates with metadata - clear_cache() for selective or full cache removal - Cache metadata stored as .diecut-cache.toml per entry Closes diecut-l41

…lity) - Rename chrono_now() to unix_timestamp_secs(), update doc comments - Add normalize_url() helper for consistent URL comparison in clear_cache - Make get_cache_dir() configurable via DIECUT_CACHE_DIR env var, return Result - Reject file:// URLs in clone_template, warn on http:// - Move create_dir_all before clone operation in get_or_clone - Add UnsafeUrl error variant for URL scheme validation - Add tests for env var, URL normalization, and file:// rejection
Change get_or_clone to keep TempDir alive during cache placement. On error, TempDir drops and cleans up automatically. Only call tmp_dir.keep() after successful rename/copy into the cache directory. This prevents orphaned temp directories when metadata write, mkdir, or rename operations fail.
Add blocking-http-transport-reqwest-rust-tls feature to gix dependency. Without this, only file://, git://, and ssh:// transports were available, causing HTTPS clones (gh: abbreviations, https:// URLs) to fail silently.
