## What it is
A collection of ready-to-run Java code snippets and examples demonstrating how to use the Eclipse JGit library for Git operations. Each snippet is a small standalone application covering repository handling and porcelain commands.

## Use cases
- learn how to use JGit in Java
- find code snippets for git operations in Java
- programmatically create or open a git repository in Java
- commit and add files using JGit
- get started with the JGit API quickly

## When to choose
- you are building Java applications that manipulate Git repositories with JGit
- you need working example code for common JGit tasks
- you want a quick start reference alongside the JGit JavaDoc

## When to avoid
- you need a general Git tutorial rather than JGit-specific code
- you want a library to depend on rather than example snippets
- you have general JGit usage questions better suited to Stack Overflow

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, version-control, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, tutorials
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: jgit, git, java, code-snippets, examples, cookbook
