+
+A low level and highly extensible git client library for **reading** repositories from git servers. It is written in Go from scratch, without any C dependencies.
+
+We have been following the open/close principle in its design to facilitate extensions.
+
+*go-git* does not claim to be a replacement of [git2go](https://github.com/libgit2/git2go) as its approach and functionality is quite different.
+
+### ok, but why? ...
+
+At [source{d}](http://sourced.tech) we analyze almost **all** the public open source contributions made to git repositories in the world.
+
+We want to extract detailed information from each GitHub repository, which requires downloading repository packfiles and analyzing them: extracting their code, authors, dates and the languages and ecosystems they use. We are also interested in knowing who contributes to what, so we can tell top contributors from the more casual ones.
+
+You can obtain all this information using the standard `git` command running over a local clone of a repository, but this simple solution does not scale well over millions of repositories: we want to avoid having local copies of the unpacked repositories in a regular file system; *go-git* allows us to work with an in-memory representation of repositories instead.
+
+### I see... but this is production ready?
+
+*Yes!!!*, we have been using *go-git* at [source{d}](http://sourced.tech) since August 2015 to analyze all GitHub public repositories (i.e. 16M of repositories).
+
+### Coming Soon
+
+Blame support: right now we are using a forward version of a line-tracking
+algorithm and we are having some problems handling merges. The plan is to get
+merges right and change to a backward line-tracking algorithm soon.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+The recommended way to install *go-git* is:
+
+```
+go get -u gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v2/...
+```
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Basic example: retrieving the commits for a given repository:
+
+```go
+r, err := git.NewRepository("https://github.com/src-d/go-git", nil)
+if err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+if err := r.Pull("origin", "refs/heads/master"); err != nil {
+ panic(err)
+}
+
+iter := r.Commits()
+defer iter.Close()
+
+for {
+ commit, err := iter.Next()
+ if err != nil {
+ if err == io.EOF {
+ break
+ }
+
+ panic(err)
+ }
+
+ fmt.Println(commit)
+}
+```
+
+Outputs:
+```
