 # LibGit2Sharp
 
-LibGit2Sharp is an thin .Net layer (well.. we _try_ to keep it as thin as possible :-) ) wrapping the [libgit2](http://libgit2.github.com/) linkable C Git library.
-
-It provides a very opiniated API which should be very easy to use and discover.
+**LibGit2Sharp brings all the might and speed of [libgit2](http://libgit2.github.com/), a native Git implementation, to the managed world of .Net and Mono.**
