The repository

Everything starts by opening an existing repository:

>>> from pygit2 import Repository
>>> repo = Repository('pygit2/.git')

Or by creating a new one:

>>> from pygit2 import init_repository
>>> bare = False
>>> repo = init_repository('test', bare)

These are the basic attributes of a repository:

Repository.path    -- path to the Git repository
Repository.workdir -- path to the working directory, None in the case of
                      a bare repo
