It's sorely out of date.

I've completed a rewrite of the core gitlib, to become 4.0, for which a new tutorial will be written before release.

[jwiegley]

It's on the v4 branch.

[thejohnfreeman]

When might v4 be due? Is there a tutorial or some docs for the existing v3.1? Thanks!

[jwiegley]

I won't be writing a tutorial for 3.x, but I intend to for 4, since the structure is becoming quite nice now.

If you want to beta test v4, let me know.

[thejohnfreeman]

I'll use System.Process and just wait for the release. I'm still new to Haskell, so I won't be able to tell the difference between a bug and my own misunderstanding.

Found this repo and am interested in using it, but I find it quite difficult to use. I look forward to an up-to-date tutorial!
