== * Git-Ruby Is Not Maintained *
The Git-Ruby project is no longer maintained by me. I will leave it up here for now, but almost all of this code has since been incorporated into the Grit project (http://github.com/schacon/git-ruby) and works much, much better. If you're interested in using Git from Ruby, please check out Grit (specifically the schacon/grit fork) - it does as much as it can from Ruby and falls back to system calls if it needs to. The API is different, but the project is being actively maintained.
== Git Library for Ruby
A pure ruby implementation of Git
= Homepage
The Git-Ruby homepage is currently at :
http://jointheconversation.org/gitruby
Git public hosting of the project source code is at:
http://github.com/schacon/gitruby
= Roadmap
Many of the simple read-only operations have already been
moved to pure ruby.
= Gitr
I have included a command line pure-ruby git client called 'gitr'
The following commands are available - they all will run in pure ruby, without forking out the the git binary.
In fact, they can be run on a machine without git compiled on it.
commands: log
log-shas
cat-file (treeish)
rev-parse (treeish)
branches
ls-tree (tree)
= Examples
Here are a bunch of examples of how to use the Git-Ruby package.
First you have to remember to require rubygems if it's not. Then include the 'git-ruby' gem.
require 'rubygems'
require 'git-ruby'
