function Get-GitRepository

    .SYNOPSIS
    Gets an object representing a Git repository.
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    The `Get-GitRepository` function gets a `LibGit2Sharp.Repository` object representing a Git repository. By default, it gets the current directory's repository. You can get an object for a specific repository using the `RepoRoot` parameter. If the `RepoRoot` path doesn't point to the root of a Git repository, or, if not using the `RepoRoot` parameter and the current directory isn't the root of a Git repository, you'll get an error.
 
    The repository object contains resources that don't get automatically removed from memory by .NET. To avoid memory leaks, you must call its `Dispose()` method when you're done using it.
 
    .EXAMPLE
    Get-GitRepository
