Hey guys,

i just get started with jGit.
So i just wanna inform myself and were reading the userguide.
After that i would start it up.
So i added the jar-file to the project-buildpath, created a new class, created a main-mathod, copyed this code lines into the method and modifyed the directory.
Quote:

FileRepositoryBuilder builder = new RepositoryBuilder();
Repository repository = builder.setGitDir("/my/git/directory")
.readEnvironment() // scan environment GIT_* variables
.findGitDir() // scan up the file system tree
.build();

And the result was disapointing. The stuff doesn't work.
builder.setGitDir demands a file-object, and RepositoryBuilder can't be converted to FileRepositoryBuilder.

What do i have to do, to get startet?

Construct a File object att pass to setGitDir. You also don't need
findGitDir since you already set it.
