+libgit2 examples
+================
+
+These examples are a mixture of basic emulation of core Git command line
+functions and simple snippets demonstrating libgit2 API usage (for use
+with Docurium). As a whole, they are not vetted carefully for bugs, error
+handling, and cross-platform compatibility in the same manner as the rest
+of the code in libgit2, so copy with caution.
+
+That being said, you are welcome to copy code from these examples as
+desired when using libgit2. They have been [released to the public domain][cc0],
+so there are no restrictions on their use.
