C# - Find git repository programmatically - source code requested
Posted on 2016-08-10
In a C# windows form application, if I want to scan my entire hard drive and locate all of the git repositories that were created using "git clone [path_to_repository]". Of course I know where they all are already - I want to find the same repos programmatically. -- how would this best be done?
When a "git clone ..." command is run, are there always certain files created? Tell-tale ways to know a folder is a repo?
Is the presence of a hidden ".git" folder enough to pretty much a "guarantee" that I am inside a repository?
Please provide working C# source code.

I suggest looking at github
https://github.com/manojlds/cmd
The API/SDK may have the source code you need :)

An interesting share, but I still want to accomplish the above FIRST - then perhaps use the library to run git commands SECOND.
Well, no other takers, so you get the points, my friend.
My final solution was to not try and find the .git folders. It took such a long time to search the entire drive that it was not worth attempting a brute force approach. So I just have the user provide the git directory herself.
I will still consider your advice and will pursue it more if I think I need to.
