Advanced tools
The is-git-repository npm package is a utility that allows you to check if a given directory is a Git repository. It is useful for scripts and tools that need to verify the presence of a Git repository before performing certain operations.
Check if a directory is a Git repository
This feature allows you to check if a specified directory is a Git repository. The function takes a path and a callback function. The callback function receives an error object and a boolean indicating whether the directory is a Git repository.
const isGitRepo = require('is-git-repository');
const path = '/path/to/directory';
isGitRepo(path, (err, result) => {
if (err) {
console.error(err);
} else {
console.log(result ? 'This is a Git repository' : 'This is not a Git repository');
}
});

Checks synchronously if a specific directory is a git repository
$ npm i is-git-repository --save
or
$ yarn add is-git-repository
const isGit = require('is-git-repository');
isGit(); // true or false of process.cwd()
isGit('any/git/repo'); // true or false
