pygit2 - libgit2 bindings in Python

pygit2 is a set of Python 2.6+ 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 2.6+ 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

Fork libgit2/pygit2 on GitHub, make it awesomer (preferably in a branch named for the topic), send a pull request.
