Using 'FastGit' to Accelerate the Access to 'GitHub'.

fgitR

FastGit can work as a mirror of GitHub to make significant acceleration.

fgitR is a package to do git operation with FastGit automatically. ## Installation

Once the initial development finish, we will post fgitR to CRAN. So for, please install development version of fgitR from GitHub:

# For initial install

Reinventing the wheel?

For the initially consideration, we believe it is necessary to add following functions:

• Commit
• Pull
• Push

Due to git is not only clone to local, but also contribute back. But in the git clone or fgit clone procedure, the remote will be set as fastgit.org or other mirror domain. Hence, there is nothing special to make further operations.
