pygit2 - libgit2 bindings in Python
=====================================

pygit2 is a set of Python 2.5+ bindings to the libgit2 linkable C Git library.

INSTALLING AND RUNNING
========================

First you need to install the latest version of libgit2. 
You can find platform-specific instructions to build the library in the libgit2 website:

  <http://libgit2.github.com>

Next, make sure you have the required library dependencies for pygit2: OpenSSL and ZLib.
For instance, in Debian-based systems run:

    $ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libssl-dev

Also, make sure you have Python 2.5+ installed together with the Python development headers.

When those are installed, you can install pygit2:

    $ git clone git://github.com/libgit2/pygit2.git 
    $ cd pygit2
    $ python setup.py install
    $ python setup.py test
