pull-git-repo

pull-git-repo

Wrap a module implementing the abstract-pull-git-repo interface, adding utility methods

API

Below, source(obj) means returns a readable stream for objects of type obj

Repo(repo): repo

Mixin pull-git-repo methods into repo

Repo.parseCommitOrTag(object): source({name, value})

Read a git object and transform it into a stream of {name, value} properties, as in repo.readCommit or repo.readTag.

`repo.getRefNames([pretty, ]cb(err, refs))

Get a repo's refs as an object.

• pretty: format ref type/prefix nicely
• refs: refs object, in format {<type>: [name]}}, where type is e.g. "heads" (or "Branches" if option pretty is set)

repo.getSymRef(name[, short], cb(err, value))

Get a symref of a repo.

• name: the symref to resolve. e.g. "HEAD"

• short: whether to shorten the value, e.g. from "refs/heads/master" to "master".

• value: head pointed to by name. e.g. "refs/heads/master"

repo.readCommit(rev): source({name, value})

Read a commit. Returns a readable stream of objects for fields in the commit. The commit message is treated as a field of type "title" for the first line, and a field of type "body" for the rest.

• rev: SHA1 hash of the commit to read, or a ref pointing to it
• name: name of a field, one of ["tree", "parent", "author", "committer", "body"]
• value: string value of the field

repo.readTag(rev): source({name, value})

Read a tag. Returns a readable stream of objects for fields in the tag. The tag message is treated as a field of type "title" for the first line, and a field of type "body" for the rest.

• rev: SHA1 hash of the tag to read, or a ref pointing to it
• name: name of a field, one of ["object", "type", "tag", "tagger", "title", "body"]
• value: string value of the field

repo.readTree(rev): source({id, mode, name})

Get a tree and stream its entries

repo.readDir(rev, path): source({id, mode, name})

Stream entries from a tree down a given path

repo.readLog(head): source(hash)

Stream commit IDs of the repo, following the commit history backwards

• head: hash or rev of the commit from which to start reading history

repo.resolveRef(name, cb(err, hash))

Get the hash that a ref (or symref) points to. Errors if the ref is not found.

repo.getRef(name, cb(err, object, id))

Get a git object

• name: name of a branch, tag, or ref pointing to the object, or SHA1 of the object

repo.getCommit(rev, cb(err, object, id))

Get a commit object. If the object refered to by rev is a tag, get the commit that it points to.

repo.getTag(rev, cb(err, object))

Get a tag object.

repo.getTree(rev, cb(err, object))

Get a tree object. If rev refers to a commit or tag, get the tree that it points to.

Repo.getCommitParsed(object, cb(err, commit))

Read a commit object and parse it into a JSON object, as in repo.getCommitParsed.

repo.getCommitParsed(rev, cb(err, commit))

Get a commit buffered and parsed into a JSON object

• commit.id: ID of the commit
• commit.tree: ID of the tree of the commit
• commit.parents: IDs of parent commits. There will be more than one if it is a merge commit.
• commit.title: first line of the commit message
• commit.body: text from the commit message following the first line and an optional blank line
• commit.author: user object for info about the commit author
• commit.committer: user object for info about the committer
• commit.separateAuthor: convenience value indicating the user or email in commit.author and commit.committer are different
• commit.separateAuthorDate: convenience value indicating commit.author.date and commit.committer.date are different

Example:

{
  "parents": [
    "f7c37c43a136064e07328ee7501fad8ed7bcc4d6"
  ],
  "author": {
    "str": "root <root@localhost> 1455078653 -0500",
    "name": "root",
    "email": "root@localhost",
    "date": new Date(1455078653)
  },
  "committer": {
    "str": "root <root@localhost> 1455078653 -0500",
    "name": "root",
    "email": "root@localhost",
    "date": new Date(1455078653)
  },
  "body": "",
  "id": "9a385c1d6b48b7f472ac507a3ec08263358e9804",
  "tree": "68aba62e560c0ebc3396e8ae9335232cd93a3f60",
  "title": "Initial commit",
  "separateAuthor": false
}

Repo.getTagParsed(object, cb(err, tag))

Read a tag object and parse it into a JSON object

• tag.id: ID of the tag
• tag.object: ID of the tagged object
• tag.type: type of the tagged object
• tag.tagger: user object for info about the creator of the tag
• tag.title: first line of the tag message
• tag.body: text from the tag message following the first line and an optional blank line

repo.getTagParsed(rev, cb(err, tag))

Get a tag object and parse into a JSON object

repo.getFile(rev, path, cb(err, {length, mode, read)

Get a file from tree at the given path.

length: size of the file in bytes mode: mode of the file, e.g. "100644" read: readable stream of the file's contents

repo.isCommitHash(str): bool

repo.diffTrees(treeIds, recursive): source({key, values, diff})

Get a diff of changed files between two trees

Repo.diffTrees(repos, trees, recursive): source({key, values, diff})

Get a diff of changed files between trees of possibly different repos

Repo.getMergeBase(baseRepo, baseBranch, headRepo, headBranch, cb)

Find a common ancestor commit of two commits/branches

repo.getPack(heads, haves, cb(err, readPack))

Build a packfile that includes objects reachable from heads and not reachable from haves.

• heads: set of revs for head commits to include
• haves: set of revs of commits to not include
• cb: callback for a stream of packfile data

repo.getFirstAvailableRev(timeout, cb): sink(rev)

Pull revs into this sink, and it will try to retrieve them, and callback the first one that resolves within the given timeout.

• timeout: milliseconds to wait for a rev before giving up on it
• rev: hash of an object to try to retrieve
