Git

This test measures the time needed to carry out some sample Git operations on an example, static repository that happens to be a copy of the GNOME GTK tool-kit repository.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark git.

Revision History

pts/git-1.1.0   [View Source]   Fri, 10 Apr 2020 19:51:10 GMT
Add git-grep threaded to the benchmark for something more enduring.

pts/git-1.0.2   [View Source]   Sat, 08 Sep 2018 17:14:00 GMT
Add RequiresInternet = TRUE since the test profile needs to clone from GitHub repository to work.

pts/git-1.0.1   [View Source]   Fri, 16 Mar 2018 18:18:09 GMT
Update Windows support.

pts/git-1.0.0   [View Source]   Fri, 16 Mar 2018 18:06:26 GMT
Initial commit of a benchmark timing common Git SCM commands.

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 2,048 public results since 10 April 2020 with the latest data as of 10 April 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Does It Scale Well With Increasing Cores?

No, based on the automated analysis of the collected public benchmark data, this test / test settings does not generally scale well with increasing CPU core counts. Data based on publicly available results for this test / test settings, separated by vendor, result divided by the reference CPU clock speed, grouped by matching physical CPU core count, and normalized against the smallest core count tested from each vendor for each CPU having a sufficient number of test samples and statistically significant data.
