What are the needed dependencies? #2007
Description
I'm trying to use nodegit on GitHub Actions (ubuntu-latest), but it consistently adds 5 minutes to the workflow because it compiles libgit2 each time. Other than caching, how can I speed up the compile time?
I've tried installing libgit2-dev but it still needs to compile. What dependency can I install on apt to make it so that it doesn't need to compile git2 again?

libgit2 will be compiled regardless of what your system contains because it's vendored: https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit/tree/master/vendor
Besides, libgit2 is rather quick to compile; Nodegit includes its own binding code in C++, which is the majority of the compilation time. So caching is the only possible way to avoid a recompile unless Nodegit finds an existing artifact to download (I think this is available on released versions, but 0.27.0 is broken for me so I can't really check).
