RubyGems · v5.6.0 · MIT

The git gem provides an API that can be used to create, read, and manipulate Git repositories by wrapping system calls to the git command line. The API can be used for working with Git in complex interactions including branching and merging, object inspection and manipulation, history, patch generation and more.
