Hello Git Developers and Users,

This summer, New York University held a class called Open Source

JavaGit Releases Version 0.1.0 Alpha - August 4, 2008

The JavaGit team is pleased to announce the release of JavaGit version
0.1.0 alpha, an API providing access to git repositories from Java
programs. The goal of JavaGit is to bring the power of git to the Java
developer as an API that is intuitive for developers new to git and
developers who are veteran git users.

JavaGit is engineered to provide the developer with access to the raw
git commands through a command API as well as an object API designed
to represent the .git repository, the working tree and other, familiar
git concepts. JavaGit uses the git binaries installed on the host
machine to provide git functionality and has been designed to easily
accommodate additional methods of access to git repositories.

JavaGit is released as open source software under the GNU LGPL license.
