A simple library to load snapshots of git repository.
To load git repository call load_repo as follows:
from gitsnapshot import load_repo
load_repo('~/target/directory', 'git@github.com/test/repo')
This code creates folder ~/target/directory if this folder doesn't exists, and then
clone shallow copy of repository git@github.com/test/repo.
By default this function loads current master branch.
To load another branch (i.e. develop) pass branch name in branch parameter:
from gitsnapshot import load_repo
load_repo('~/target/directory', 'git@github.com/test/repo', branch='develop')
Also you can load snapshot by tag:
from gitsnapshot import load_repo
load_repo('~/target/directory', 'git@github.com/test/repo', tag='v0.1.2')
Or by commit hash:
from gitsnapshot import load_repo
load_repo('~/target/directory', 'git@github.com/test/repo', commit='abcdef')
load_repo function return optional string with error description.
If load_repo returned None then no errors was happened.
If you try to load repository snapshot into existing directory with another snapshot
of the same repository, load_repo will return error.
To avoid this behavior pass use_existing=True as argument.
from gitsnapshot import load_repo
load_repo('~/target/directory', 'git@github.com/test/repo', use_existing=True)
In this case load_repo will load repository index and will checkout to specified
branch, tag or commit.
