Javascript Git client

Question

Is there a Javascript implementation of Git?

I\'m wanting to use HTML5 to create a rich Javascript application and have the idea that I could use git to track change

Answer 1

You can use https://github.com/isomorphic-git/isomorphic-git

isomorphic-git is a pure JavaScript reimplementation of git that works in both Node.js and browser JavaScript environments. It can read and write to git repositories, fetch from and push to git remotes (such as GitHub), all without any native C++ module

isomorphic-git is a continuation of https://github.com/creationix/js-git

isomorphic-git would not have been possible without the pioneering work by @creationix and @chrisdickinson. Git is a tricky binary mess, and without their examples (and their modules!) I would not have been able to come even close to finishing this. They are geniuses ahead of their time.
