One of its strengths is\nits openness to scripting.  This talk looks at the basic principles that\nsupport best practice for scripting Git and how to avoid some common\npitfalls.\n\nBuilding Git Tools with libgit2: Edward Thomson\n\nEdward introduces the libgit2 framework (http://libgit2.org), which is a\nportable, implementation of Git as a library.  If you're looking for more\nadvanced programmatic access to working with Git repositories, libgit2 is\na good option, which is why it's used by many Git servers like GitHub and\nVSTS and clients like gmaster and GitKraken.  Edward will introduce libgit2\nand some of the language bindings like LibGit2Sharp (for .NET) and Rugged\n(for Ruby).\n\nLocation\n--------\nGeneral Assembly.
