# Gift
A simple Node.js wrapper for the Git CLI, with fixed parsing of GitHub commit signatures. The API is based on
[Grit](https://github.com/mojombo/grit).
Tested in all stable versions of node.

# Installation
This fork is now in the `npm` package repository. Install it like you would any other package:
$ npm install gift
# API
For existing repositories:
git = require 'gift'
repo = git "path/to/repo"
# => #<Repo>
Initialize a new repository:
git = require 'gift'
git.init "path/to/repo", (err, _repo) ->
repo = _repo
# => #<Repo>
Initialize a new bare repository:
git = require 'gift'
git.init "path/to/bare/repo", true, (err, _repo) ->
repo = _repo
# => #<Repo>
Clone a repository:
git = require 'gift'
git.clone "git@host:path/to/remote/repo.git", "path/to/local/clone/repo", depth, branch, (err, _repo) ->
repo = _repo
# => #<Repo>
