Support rustls (instead of OpenSSL)

[orhun]

Hey! 🐻

For the context, I'm coming here from shuttle-hq/shuttle#100

I don't know if it is possible to use rustls for cargo-generate but wanted to bring this issue to your attention.

Would it be feasible to support rustls?

Hey @orhun,

BTW very cool that you work now on shuttle!

Would it be feasible to support rustls?

The Question would be does git2 support rustls instead? Because cargo-generate pulls this very dependency to openssl from git2 as you can see here:

cargo-generate/Cargo.toml

Line 75 in b9f9b43

vendored-openssl = ["openssl/vendored", "git2/vendored-openssl"]

Hey Sven!

Thank you! 🚀🚀🚀

Ah I see, then I need to go one layer deeper.

⛏️ rust-lang/git2-rs#623

BTW are there plans to switch to gitoxide in the future?

[sassman]

For some features we use gitoxide already. E.g gitconfig parsing etc.

But I watch the progress on gitoxide and at some point I have high hopes to be able to switch over. So yes there are plans :)

Great news, so it is possible to get rid of OpenSSL in the feature, nice! 🐻
