The core git is in C, and designed to be used in scripts.

Then, UI commands have usually been prototyped in shell-script, but
there's an ongoing effort to re-write them in C (mostly because
shell-scripts sucks when it comes to robustness and portability).

Some commands have been written in perl instead of C or shell,
probably because they have been written by people who like perl.
