gfc

gfc

Simple way to initialize a new git repository in an empty directory, add a file and do a first commit (or skip that part in a directory with files). Useful for unit tests and generators.

Please consider following this project's author, Jon Schlinkert, and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save gfc

Usage

const firstCommit = require('gfc');

The main export is an async function that takes a callback or returns a promise when no callback is passed. A .sync method is also exposed.

Default behavior

The following steps can be customized with options:

• Creates a new git repository
• Adds a .gitkeep file if the cwd is empty.
• git add .
• do a first commit with the message "first commit"

promise usage

Returns a promise if a callback is not passed.

firstCommit(cwd[, options])
  .then(res => {
    console.log('stdout: ' + res.stdout);
    console.log('stderr: ' + res.stderr);
  })
  .catch(err => console.log('Error: ', err));

async usage

firstCommit(cwd[, options], function(err, stdout, stderr) {
  if (err) {
    console.error('exec error: ' + err);
    return;
  }
  console.log('stdout: ' + stdout);
  console.log('stderr: ' + stderr);
});

sync usage

firstCommit.sync(cwd[, options]);
