Hello Git Developers and Users,

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

------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
