Gitty

Gitty is a Node.js wrapper for Git. It's syntax resembles the Git command line syntax, executes common commands, and parses the output into operable objects.

Complete documentation is available here.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 0.12.x (http://nodejs.org)
• Git 1.7.x.x (http://git-scm.com)

$ npm install gitty

Testing

Run the the unit and integration tests with:

$ npm test

Usage

var git    = require('gitty');

// identifying the repo and using defaults
var myRepo = git('/path/to/repo');

// explicitly passing the path to the git client
var myRepo2 = git('/path/to/repo2', '/not-in-path/bin/git');

// specifying an options object (note all properties are optional)
var myRepo3 = git('/path/to/repo3', {
  gitpath: '/not-in-path/bin/git',                          // optional
  largeOperations: ['log', 'ls-files', 'status', 'commit'], // optional
  largeOperationsMaxBuffer: 1024 * 6000                     // optional
});

Now you can call this instance of Repository's methods. For example, to execute git log for myRepo, you would do:

myRepo.log(function(err, log) {
	if (err) return console.log('Error:', err);
	// ...
});

Authenticated Repositories

Gitty no longer supports username/password authentication over SSH. You should be using SSH keys for that.

myRepo.push('origin', 'master', function(err, succ) {
	if (err) return console.log(err);
	// ...
});
