### REQUIREMENTS
GitPython needs the `git` executable to be installed on the system and available in your `PATH` for most operations. If it is not in your `PATH`, you can help GitPython find it by setting the `GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE=<path/to/git>` environment variable.
* Git (1.7.x or newer)
+* Python 2.7 to 3.5, while python 2.6 is supported on a *best-effort basis*.
The list of dependencies are listed in `./requirements.txt` and `./test-requirements.txt`. The installer takes care of installing them for you.
