ssb-git-repo

Host git repos in secure-scuttlebutt

Example

var ssbGit = require('ssb-git-repo')
var repoId = '%CBeVWA9eYt6OhJDXFtqas6kWb5LwaJxYtfwDazKvh4U=.sha256'

// get a single repo:
ssbGit.getRepo(sbot, repoId, function (err, repo) {
  if (err) throw err
  // do something with the repo
})

API

ssbGit.createRepo(sbot[, options], cb(err, repo))

Create a repo. Publishes a message announcing the new repo.

• sbot: a scuttlebot or ssb-client object
• options.upstream (ssbGit.Repo or MsgId): upstream repo (of which the new repo will be a fork)
• options.name (string): name to give the repo
• options.live: keep the repo updated as changes are pushed to it
• options.output: stream for logging stuff to
• cb: function called when the repo is created
• err: error creating the repo, if any
• repo: ssbGit.Repo object for the new repo

ssbGit.getRepo(sbot, msgOrId[, options], cb(err, repo))

Get a repo.

• sbot: a scuttlebot or ssb-client object
• msgOrId: SSB message that started the repo, or the ID of it
• options.live: keep the repo updated as changes are pushed to it
• options.output: stream for logging stuff to
• cb: function called when the repo is retrieved
• err: error retrieving the repo, if any
• repo: ssbGit.Repo object for the retrieved repo

ssbGit.repos(sbot, options): source(repo)

Get repos from the feed

• sbot: a scuttlebot or ssb-client object
• options: options to pass to sbot.createFeedStream
• repo: ssbGit.Repo object

ssbGit.Repo

An abstract-pull-git-repo-compliant git repo object. Additional methods:

repo.close(cb(err))

Close the repo's update stream.

• cb: function called when the repo's stream is closed
• err: error closing the repo, if any

repo.getHead(cb(err, head))

Get the repo's HEAD, i.e. the "default branch" ref, e.g. `"refs/heads/master"

repo.hasObjectQuick(hash) : has

Check for the presence of a commit hash, with possible false negatives.

• hash (sha1): the commit id to check
• has (boolean): true if the commit is present

This will only show an object as present if it was pushed in ssb-git-repo

= v1.9.0.

Schema

type: git-repo

{ type: 'git-repo' }

Creates a git repo. Note that you can actually push git objects to any message in your feed, but the git-repo type is here to declare that a message will be for a git repo. It may have properties added later.

type: git-update

{
  type: 'git-update',
  repo: MsgId,
  repoBranch: [ MsgId ]?,
  refs: { <ref>: String? }?,
  objects: [ { type: String, length: Number, sha1: String, link: BlobId } ]?,
  packs: [ BlobLink ]?,
  indexes: [ BlobLink ]?,
  head: string?,
  commits: [ { sha1: String, title: String } ]?,
  commits_more: Number?,
}

Updates a repo. Published as a result of git push.

• repo: id of a message (expected of type git-repo) identifying the repo
• repoBranch: ids of latest concurrent previous git-update messages. Use to indicate causal order.
• refs: updates to the repo's refs. a map of ref names to git sha1 hashes. e.g. { 'refs/heads/master': commitId }
• packs: links to git packfiles being added to the repo
• indexes: links to index files for the packfiles in packs
• head: value of the HEAD symref, i.e. the default branch, e.g. "refs/heads/master"
• commits: array of info about commits that are included in packs, for display purposes
• commits\_more: number of commits included in packs but not in commits
• num_objects: number of objects included in packs
