Make Git Your API

When designing HTTP APIs for your application, it sometimes makes sense to embrace git as a part of the protocol.

If your application operates on data that your users naturally manage using a source control system like git, adding first-class git support to your APIs may be a good idea.

If you choose to add first-class git support to your own APIs, the fusebit/cloud-git project may come in handy. It provides a lightweight, pure JavaScript implementation of the git protocol that enables you to add git endpoints to your Node.js application.
