Simple Git Client for R
Simple git client for R based on libgit2 with support for SSH and HTTPS remotes. All functions in gert use basic R data types (such as vectors and data-frames) for their arguments and return values. User credentials are shared with command line git through the git-credential store and ssh keys stored on disk or ssh-agent.

The great Dr Jane Goodall, ethologist and campaigner for great apes and much else, has died at the age of 91.
She loved this _Far Side_ cartoon, and wrote a forward for a later Gary Larson collection.
