Git

open a bare repository

this takes the path to a bare git repo it expects not to be able to use a working directory so you can’t checkout stuff, commit things, etc. but you can do most read operations

# File lib/git.rb, line 59
def self.bare(git_dir, options = {})
  Base.bare(git_dir, options)
end

clones a remote repository

options

:bare => true (does a bare clone)
:repository => '/path/to/alt_git_dir'
:index => '/path/to/alt_index_file'

example

Git.clone('git://repo.or.cz/rubygit.git', 'clone.git', :bare => true)

# File lib/git.rb, line 96
def self.clone(repository, name, options = {})
  Base.clone(repository, name, options)
end

Export the current HEAD (or a branch, if options[:branch] is specified) into the name directory, then remove all traces of git from the directory.

See clone for options. Does not obey the :remote option, since the .git info will be deleted anyway; always uses the default remote, ‘origin.’

# File lib/git.rb, line 107
def self.export(repository, name, options = {})
  options.delete(:remote)
  repo = clone(repository, name, {:depth => 1}.merge(options))
  repo.checkout("origin/#{options[:branch]}") if options[:branch]
  Dir.chdir(repo.dir.to_s) { FileUtils.rm_r '.git' }
end

Same as g.config, but forces it to be at the global level

g.config(‘user.name’, ‘Scott Chacon’) # sets value g.config(‘user.email’, ‘email@email.com’) # sets value g.config(‘user.name’) # returns ‘Scott Chacon’ g.config # returns whole config hash

# File lib/git.rb, line 138
def self.global_config(name = nil, value = nil)
  lib = Git::Lib.new(nil, nil)
  if(name && value)
    # set value
    lib.global_config_set(name, value)
  elsif (name)
    # return value
    lib.global_config_get(name)
  else
    # return hash
    lib.global_config_list
  end
end

initialize a new git repository, defaults to the current working directory

options

:repository => '/path/to/alt_git_dir'
:index => '/path/to/alt_index_file'

# File lib/git.rb, line 82
def self.init(working_dir = '.', options = {})
  Base.init(working_dir, options)
end

open an existing git working directory

this will most likely be the most common way to create a git reference, referring to a working directory. if not provided in the options, the library will assume your git_dir and index are in the default place (.git/, .git/index)

options

:repository => '/path/to/alt_git_dir'
:index => '/path/to/alt_index_file'

# File lib/git.rb, line 73
def self.open(working_dir, options = {})
  Base.open(working_dir, options)
end

g.config(‘user.name’, ‘Scott Chacon’) # sets value g.config(‘user.email’, ‘email@email.com’) # sets value g.config(‘user.name’) # returns ‘Scott Chacon’ g.config # returns whole config hash

# File lib/git.rb, line 118
def config(name = nil, value = nil)
  lib = Git::Lib.new
  if(name && value)
    # set value
    lib.config_set(name, value)
  elsif (name)
    # return value
    lib.config_get(name)
  else
    # return hash
    lib.config_list
  end
end
