= Steps to move on this project =
1. Code to use git as datastore
1. Code to use git as datastore
    Datastore should provide "CRUD" functionality.


    We can use [https://developer.github.com/v3/git/ github API] need discussions(Why/Why not):
Datastore should provide "CRUD" functionality of program for git backend along with special features as mentioned in functional requirements.
    API have certain limitations like the git API limits the support of blobs up to 100 megabytes in size [https://developer.github.com/v3/git/blobs/ proof], number of requests per hour are limited(60 requests for unauthenticated requests[https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting proof]. So it is better to build the datastore from scratch.

* add new content to the versioned program
* look at difference between current state of program and versioned state of program
* create branche
