minimal example for use in the browser

[jtwaleson]

I've been trying to get a minimal setup to work in the browser for a couple of hours now, to no avail. I think it would be useful to explain how the require pattern can be used. It might help javascript noobs like myself on their way.

js-git is packaged as common-js. You'll need to use some sort of build system to pre-process the files for use in the browser. I usually either do it server-side in wheaty https://github.com/creationix/wheaty-cjs-bundler or client side. https://github.com/creationix/tedit/blob/master/build/ui/loader.js

You could probably use browersify too, but I haven't tried in a while. http://browserify.org/

Here is a example of using wheaty-cjs-bundler. https://github.com/creationix/conquest/blob/svg/conquest.js

This repo is served with wheaty https://github.com/creationix/wheaty. Since the file is marked as executable in git and starts with #!js it will be run server-side in wheaty and serve the result to the browser.

Thanks, browserify seems to do the trick! I'll see if I can get a working example and send a pull request with added documentation about build instructions. Do you have any thoughts about rewriting from common-js to AMD?

I'm glad it helped. No, I'm not going to rewrite in AMD. I may rewrite in
ES6 modules once the tool ecosystem is more mature for them though.

@jtwaleson would like to see your work, as I plan to use this with browserify

A browserified version of js-git (that uses promises instead of generators) can be found here: https://github.com/LivelyKernel/js-git-browser.

Thx @creationix for this great project!
