Rugged

Rugged is a library for accessing libgit2 in Ruby. It gives you the speed and portability of libgit2 with the beauty of the Ruby language. libgit2 is a pure C implementation of the Git core methods. It's designed to be fast and portable. For more information about libgit2, check out libgit2's website or browse the libgit2 organization on GitHub. You need to have CMake and pkg-config installed on your system to be able to build the included version of libgit2. Note that you only need libgit2-dev if you want to build with the system libgit2 rather than the vendored version. In this case, note that the major and minor versions of libgit2 and rugged must match. By default, Rugged builds and uses a bundled version of libgit2. Rugged gives you access to the many parts of a Git repository. You can read and write objects, walk a tree, access the staging area, and lots more. Let's look at each area individually.
