Cannot find a library to deal with git

I would like to create an app to communicate with github in C# code.
After searching some time, I could not find a library to support this.
What I want to do is something like this fake code:

using GitLibrary;
Repository myRepository = new(Repository);
myRepository.URI = "https://github.com/somerepo/reporoot";
myRepository.LoginName = "myLoginName";
myRepository.LoginPassword = "myPassword";
myRepository.Open();
myRepository.Pull("folderA\folderB\fileXYZ");
....
some code to edit file fileXYZ
....
PushResults results = PushFileChanges("fileName");
....
some code to handle errors.
....
myRepository.Close();

Does anybody know if there exists a library to accomplish this (more or less)?
Oh, I recently moved from Visual Studio to Sharpdevelop, so a library that only works with VS is no solution.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Vulpes, thanks for your link to githubsharp.
However, it looks like this development has stopped, because the last change in the source code was 11 months ago.
As I plan to make an app for the next few years, I am a bit reluctant to use an unsupported library.
As you know, any piece of software older than one year is considered to be dead or at least archaic :)
But thanks anyway, I will continue my quest.

Best, Terry

I've no idea whether it's any good or not but I found this:
