+An implementation fo some of Git’s functionality, written in Python. It’s based
+on [this blog](https://wyag.thb.lt/), but it’s rewritten extensively.

+
+## Usage
+
+If you want to try it out, you can try:
+
+```
+python main.py log
+```
+
+A full list of commands can be obtained by writing:

+```
