#####Example Output:

		<span class="language">javascript</span>
		<span class="description">This is where the repository description would go.</span>
	</li>
	<li class="name-of-repository">
		<a class="gitty-name" title="name of repository" href="https://github.com/username/name-of-repository">name of repository</a>
		<span class="language">javascript</span>
		<span class="description">This is where the repository description would go.</span>
	</li>
</ul>

* Note that each list item has it's own unique class based on the name of the repository, so you can style each list item individually.
