Isomorphic-git comes with a simple CLI tool, named "isogit" because "isomorphic-git" is a lot to type. It is really just a thin shell that translates command line arguments into the equivalent JS API commands, so you should be able to run any current or future isomorphic-git commands using the CLI.

It always assumes two of the arguments:

• fs is node's native fs module
• dir is the current working directory

The first argument is the name of the command and then command line option flags to generate the argument object.

Example:

isogit clone --url=https://github.com/isomorphic-git/isomorphic-git --depth=1 --singleBranch

will run

git.clone({
  fs: require('fs'),
  dir: process.cwd(),
  url: 'https://github.com/isomorphic-git/isomorphic-git',
  depth: 1,
  singleBranch: true
})

For commands like git.log which return JSON, it pretty-prints the output.
