API Example Usage
-----------------

Below are two examples. There are several more.

$3

`JavaScript
var git = require('../'),
path = require('path');

git.Repo.open(path.resolve(__dirname, '/tmp/repo/.git'), function(error, repo) {
if (error) throw error;

repo.getMaster(function(error, branch) {
if (error) throw error;

// History returns an event.
var history = branch.history();

// History emits 'commit' event for each commit in the branch's history
history.on('commit', function(commit) {
console.log('commit ' + commit.sha());
console.log('Author:', commit.author().name() + ' <' + commit.author().email() + '>');
console.log('Date:', commit.date());
console.log('\n ' + commit.message());
});

// Don't forget to call start()!
history.start();
});
});

`

$3

`JavaScript
git.Repo.clone("https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit.git", path, null, function(error, repo) {
if (error) throw error;

repo.getCommit('59b20b8d5c6ff8d09518454d4dd8b7b30f095ab5', function(error, commit) {
if (error) throw error;

commit.getEntry('README.md', function(error, entry) {
if (error) throw error;

entry.getBlob(function(error, blob) {
if (error) throw error;

console.log(entry.name(), entry.sha(), blob.size() + 'b');
console.log('========================================================\n\n');
var firstTenLines = blob.toString().split('\n').slice(0, 10).join('\n');
console.log(firstTenLines);
console.log('...');
});
});
});
});
