libgit2 examples
================
-These examples are meant as thin, easy-to-read snippets for Docurium
-(https://github.com/github/docurium) rather than full-blown
-implementations of Git commands. They are not vetted as carefully
-for bugs, error handling, or cross-platform compatibility as the
-rest of the code in libgit2, so copy with some caution.
+These examples are a mixture of basic emulation of core Git command line
+functions and simple snippets demonstrating libgit2 API usage (for use
+with Docurium). As a whole, they are not vetted carefully for bugs, error
+handling, and cross-platform compatibility in the same manner as the rest
+of the code in libgit2, so copy with caution.
-For HTML versions, check "Examples" at http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2
+That being said, you are welcome to copy code from these examples as
+desired when using libgit2.
+For annotated HTML versions, see the "Examples" section of:
