Grit Documentation

Grit is a Ruby library for extracting information from a git repository in an object oriented manner.

I am trying to use grit for a simple project - basically provide a GUI for git. Eclipse does a good job for CVS and SVN and gitk doesn't do a good job with git. It sounds like a good idea, and I really am all for git. Other than a few irritating things about merge, git is a pretty kewl tool.

So for this simple project, I am using mojombo-grit (and Ruby on Rails) to look at the tree/branch structure of git commits. Its pretty straight-forward but the API documentation is not that great. Its just not laid out intuitively and IMHO not easy to understand to follow. I like their example on the home page, which starts you off easily. But then after that, if you have to get more information on (say) a branch, then the doc doesn't do much for you.

Looking around for a better take on the documentation ....

Grit seems to be awesome but to ne it is not yet logical...

Packers And Movers Chandigarh provide many facilities regarding the relocation. They provide you help for #shifting your #house, factory, #office, etc. It is a boring task especially when you have to complete it as soon as possible. Shifting is not simple as you are thinking it is much harder tasks. And if you have decided it to do by yourself then god helps you for that, and you will be at higher risk while doing so
