 Then, in your `build.zig`, you can access the library as a dependency:
 ```zig
-const libgit2_dep = b.dependency("libgit2", .{
-    .target = target,
-    .optimize = optimize,
-    .@"enable-ssh" = true, // optional ssh support via libssh2
-    .@"tls-backend" = .openssl, // use openssl instead of mbedtls

+        .target = target,
+        .optimize = optimize,
+        .imports = &.{.{ // Add git2 as an import
+            .name = "git2",
+            .module = dep.module("git2"),
+        }},
+    }),
 });
-your_compile_step.linkLibrary(libgit_dep.artifact("git2"));
 ```
 
 Don't forget to import headers too:
 ```zig
-const c = @cImport({
-    @cInclude("git2.h");
-});
+const c = @import("git2");
 ```
