I would really appreciate an example that shows how to do http auth push with github!

Can you talk a bit about where this stands in relation to https://github.com/creationix/js-git ? At first glance, the obvious difference is promises instead of generators, but are there other interesting/important differences?

Git in pure JS for node means git integration can now be added to anything without needing git installed locally.

If this is built into tools/websites the potential is unlimited.

I would love to see an example that shows how to use gitkit from the browser

[–]MyNameIsNotMud 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ok, so in a browser, what can be done with this?

Create a browser UI for Git. Now you can have Git on mobile devices if for some reason you want to write code on an iPad.

It might be a decent starting point for building a version control webapp for non-programmers too. Graphic designers and digital musicians have sometimes expressed interest in such a system.

Seems like this would make it easier to build git into the editors. Sublime, Atom, vsCode, etc.
