libgit2.js - real git in your browser

Welcome to libgit2.js!

libgit2.js is a port of the libgit2 library (http://libgit2.github.com) to javascript.

I used the emscripten C-to-javascript compiler to compile libgit to javascript.

Dependencies

Much thanks to the following projects

• libgit2 http://libgit2.github.com/
• emscripten https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki
• dagre https://github.com/cpettitt/dagre

Features

Here are the features currently supported by libgit2.js. Help us make it better!

• Interact with the filesystem via a simple shell; ls, cd, cat, echo, touch, etc

• Rudimentary gui filesystem explorer

• Create git repository

• git log

• git show-ref

• git ls-files

• git add

• git commit

• git checkout

• git branch

I'd particularly like to know if there's a js library that would be suited for parsing the git commands.

Building

libgit.js is built using a custom CMakeLists.txt file that replaces gcc and related tools with the drop-in replacements provided by emscripten. Check out the interact.js file for the commands to use it.

Before building, replace this line

set(EMSCRIPTEN_ROOT_PATH "/home/xuanji/tools/emscripten")

in CMakeLists.txt with the path to your emscripten. Also make sure your emscripten supports compressing downloads (https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki/Compressing-Downloads)
