Question

I’m creating a Sinatra app that will pull in data from a remote git repository.

I’ve taken a look at the ruby-git gem, but I get cannot load such file -- git on the line of require 'git'. The gem is installed and in my Gemfile.

I’m not sure if this is the correct way about going about this, but essentially I want the app to checkout a git repository for pulling in data.

Answer 1

Ended up using the system command:

system("git clone #{$config['repository']} content")
