LibGit2 · The Julia Language
Description: Documentation for The Julia Language.

# LibGit2

The LibGit2 module provides bindings to libgit2, a portable C library that implements core functionality for the Git version control system. These bindings are currently used to power Julia's package manager. It is expected that this module will eventually be moved into a separate package.

### Functionality

Some of this documentation assumes some prior knowledge of the libgit2 API. For more information on some of the objects and methods referenced here, consult the upstream libgit2 API reference.

`LibGit2.Buffer` — Type

    LibGit2.Buffer

A data buffer for exporting data from libgit2. Matches the `git_buf` struct.

When fetching data from LibGit2, a typical usage would look like:

    buf_ref = Ref(Buffer())
    @check ccall(..., (Ptr{Buffer},), buf_ref)
    # operation on buf_ref
    free(buf_ref)

In particular, note that `LibGit2.free` should be called afterward on the `Ref` object.

    @check ccall(..., (Ptr{StrArrayStruct},), sa_ref)
    res = collect(sa_ref[])
    free(sa_ref)

In particular, note that `LibGit2.free` should be called afterward on the `Ref` object.

Conversely, when passing a vector of strings to LibGit2, it is generally simplest to rely on implicit conversion:

    strs = String[...]
    @check ccall(..., (Ptr{StrArrayStruct},), strs)

Note that no call to `free` is required as the data is allocated by Julia.

`LibGit2.TimeStruct` — Type

    LibGit2.TimeStruct

Time in a signature. Matches the `git_time` struct.

source
`LibGit2.addfile` — Function

    addfile(cfg::GitConfig, path::AbstractString,
            level::Consts.GIT_CONFIG=Consts.CONFIG_LEVEL_APP,
            repo::Union{GitRepo, Nothing} = nothing,
            force::Bool=false)

Add an existing git configuration file located at `path` to the current `GitConfig` `cfg`. If the file does not exist, it will be created.

- `level` sets the git configuration priority level and is determined by

`Consts.GIT_CONFIG`.

- `repo` is an optional repository to allow parsing of conditional includes.
- If `force` is `false` and a configuration for the given priority level already exists,

`addfile` will error. If `force` is `true`, the existing configuration will be replaced by the one in the file at `path`.

source
`LibGit2.add!` — Function

    add!(repo::GitRepo, files::AbstractString...; flags::Cuint = Consts.INDEX_ADD_DEFAULT)
    add!(idx::GitIndex, files::AbstractString...; flags::Cuint = Consts.INDEX_ADD_DEFAULT)

Add all the files with paths specified by `files` to the index `idx` (or the index of the `repo`). If the file already exists, the index entry will be updated. If the file does not exist already, it will be newly added into the index. `files` may contain glob patterns which will be expanded and any matching files will be added (unless `INDEX_ADD_DISABLE_PATHSPEC_MATCH` is set, see below). If a file has been ignored (in `.gitignore` or in the config), it will not be added, unless it is already being tracked in the index, in which case it will be updated. The keyword argument `flags` is a set of bit-flags which control the behavior with respect to ignored files:

- `Consts.INDEX_ADD_DEFAULT` - default, described above.
- `Consts.INDEX_ADD_FORCE` - disregard the existing ignore rules and force addition of the file to the index even if it is already ignored.
- `Consts.INDEX_ADD_CHECK_PATHSPEC` - cannot be used at the same time as `INDEX_ADD_FORCE`. Check that each file in `files` which exists on disk is not in the ignore list. If one of the files is ignored, the function will return `EINVALIDSPEC`.
- `Consts.INDEX_ADD_DISABLE_PATHSPEC_MATCH` - turn off glob matching, and only add files to the index which exactly match the paths specified in `files`.

source
`LibGit2.add_fetch!` — Function

    add_fetch!(repo::GitRepo, rmt::GitRemote, fetch_spec::String)

Add a fetch refspec for the specified `rmt`. This refspec will contain information about which branch(es) to fetch from.

Examples

    julia> LibGit2.add_fetch!(repo, remote, "upstream");

    julia> LibGit2.fetch_refspecs(remote)
    String["+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*"]

source
`LibGit2.add_push!` — Function

    add_push!(repo::GitRepo, rmt::GitRemote, push_spec::String)

Add a push refspec for the specified `rmt`. This refspec will contain information about which branch(es) to push to.

Examples

    julia> LibGit2.add_push!(repo, remote, "refs/heads/master");

    julia> remote = LibGit2.get(LibGit2.GitRemote, repo, branch);

    julia> LibGit2.push_refspecs(remote)
    String["refs/heads/master"]

Note

You may need to `close` and reopen the `GitRemote` in question after updating its push refspecs in order for the change to take effect and for calls to `push` to work.

source
`LibGit2.addblob!` — Function

    LibGit2.addblob!(repo::GitRepo, path::AbstractString)

Read the file at `path` and adds it to the object database of `repo` as a loose blob. Return the `GitHash` of the resulting blob.

Examples

    hash_str = string(commit_oid)
    blob_file = joinpath(repo_path, ".git", "objects", hash_str[1:2], hash_str[3:end])
    id = LibGit2.addblob!(repo, blob_file)

source
`LibGit2.author` — Function

    author(c::GitCommit)

Return the `Signature` of the author of the commit `c`. The author is the person who made changes to the relevant file(s). See also `committer`.

source
`LibGit2.authors` — Function

    authors(repo::GitRepo) -> Vector{Signature}

Return all authors of commits to the `repo` repository.

Examples

    repo = LibGit2.GitRepo(repo_path)
    repo_file = open(joinpath(repo_path, test_file), "a")

    println(repo_file, commit_msg)
    flush(repo_file)
    LibGit2.add!(repo, test_file)
    sig = LibGit2.Signature("TEST", "TEST@TEST.COM", round(time(), 0), 0)
    commit_oid1 = LibGit2.commit(repo, "commit1"; author=sig, committer=sig)
    println(repo_file, randstring(10))
    flush(repo_file)
    LibGit2.add!(repo, test_file)
    commit_oid2 = LibGit2.commit(repo, "commit2"; author=sig, committer=sig)

    # will be a Vector of [sig, sig]
    auths = LibGit2.authors(repo)

source
`LibGit2.branch` — Function

    branch(repo::GitRepo)

Equivalent to `git branch`. Create a new branch from the current HEAD.

source
`LibGit2.branch!` — Function

    branch!(repo::GitRepo, branch_name::AbstractString, commit::AbstractString=""; kwargs...)

Checkout a new git branch in the `repo` repository. `commit` is the `GitHash`, in string form, which will be the start of the new branch. If `commit` is an empty string, the current HEAD will be used.

The keyword arguments are:

- `track::AbstractString=""`: the name of the remote branch this new branch should track, if any. If empty (the default), no remote branch will be tracked.
- `force::Bool=false`: if `true`, branch creation will be forced.
- `set_head::Bool=true`: if `true`, after the branch creation finishes the branch head will be set as the HEAD of `repo`.

Equivalent to `git checkout [-b|-B] <branch_name> [<commit>] [--track <track>]`.

Examples

    repo = LibGit2.GitRepo(repo_path)
    LibGit2.branch!(repo, "new_branch", set_head=false)

source
`LibGit2.checkout!` — Function

    checkout!(repo::GitRepo, commit::AbstractString=""; force::Bool=true)

Equivalent to `git checkout [-f] --detach <commit>`. Checkout the git commit `commit` (a `GitHash` in string form) in `repo`. If `force` is `true`, force the checkout and discard any current changes. Note that this detaches the current HEAD.

Examples

    repo = LibGit2.GitRepo(repo_path)
    open(joinpath(LibGit2.path(repo), "file1"), "w") do f
        write(f, "111
    ")
    end
    LibGit2.add!(repo, "file1")
    commit_oid = LibGit2.commit(repo, "add file1")
    open(joinpath(LibGit2.path(repo), "file1"), "w") do f
        write(f, "112
    ")
    end
    # would fail without the force=true
    # since there are modifications to the file
    LibGit2.checkout!(repo, string(commit_oid), force=true)

source
`LibGit2.clone` — Function

    clone(repo_url::AbstractString, repo_path::AbstractString, clone_opts::CloneOptions)

Clone the remote repository at `repo_url` (which can be a remote URL or a path on the local filesystem) to `repo_path` (which must be a path on the local filesystem). Options for the clone, such as whether to perform a bare clone or not, are set by `CloneOptions`.

Examples

    repo_url = "https://github.com/JuliaLang/Example.jl"
    repo = LibGit2.clone(repo_url, "/home/me/projects/Example")

source

    clone(repo_url::AbstractString, repo_path::AbstractString; kwargs...)

Clone a remote repository located at `repo_url` to the local filesystem location `repo_path`.

The keyword arguments are:

- `branch::AbstractString=""`: which branch of the remote to clone, if not the default repository branch (usually `master`).
- `isbare::Bool=false`: if `true`, clone the remote as a bare repository, which will make `repo_path` itself the git directory instead of `repo_path/.git`. This means that a working tree cannot be checked out. Plays the role of the git CLI argument `--bare`.
- `remote_cb::Ptr{Cvoid}=C_NULL`: a callback which will be used to create the remote before it is cloned. If `C_NULL` (the default), no attempt will be made to create the remote - it will be assumed to already exist.
- `credentials::Creds=nothing`: provides credentials and/or settings when authenticating against a private repository.
- `callbacks::Callbacks=Callbacks()`: user provided callbacks and payloads.

Equivalent to `git clone [-b <branch>] [--bare] <repo_url> <repo_path>`.

Examples

    repo_url = "https://github.com/JuliaLang/Example.jl"
    repo1 = LibGit2.clone(repo_url, "test_path")
    repo2 = LibGit2.clone(repo_url, "test_path", isbare=true)
    julia_url = "https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia"
    julia_repo = LibGit2.clone(julia_url, "julia_path", branch="release-0.6")

source
`LibGit2.commit` — Function

    commit(repo::GitRepo, msg::AbstractString; kwargs...) -> GitHash

Wrapper around `git_commit_create`. Create a commit in the repository `repo`. `msg` is the commit message. Return the OID of the new commit.

The keyword arguments are:

- `refname::AbstractString=Consts.HEAD_FILE`: if not NULL, the name of the reference to update to point to the new commit. For example, `"HEAD"` will update the HEAD of the current branch. If the reference does not yet exist, it will be created.
- `author::Signature = Signature(repo)` is a `Signature` containing information about the person who authored the commit.
- `committer::Signature = Signature(repo)` is a `Signature` containing information about the person who committed the commit to the repository. Not necessarily the same as `author`, for instance if `author` emailed a patch to `committer` who committed it.
- `tree_id::GitHash = GitHash()` is a git tree to use to create the commit, showing its ancestry and relationship with any other history. `tree` must belong to `repo`.
- `parent_ids::Vector{GitHash}=GitHash[]` is a list of commits by `GitHash` to use as parent commits for the new one, and may be empty. A commit might have multiple parents if it is a merge commit, for example.

source

    LibGit2.commit(rb::GitRebase, sig::GitSignature)

Commit the current patch to the rebase `rb`, using `sig` as the committer. Is silent if the commit has already been applied.

source
`LibGit2.committer` — Function

    committer(c::GitCommit)

Return the `Signature` of the committer of the commit `c`. The committer is the person who committed the changes originally authored by the `author`, but need not be the same as the `author`, for example, if the `author` emailed a patch to a `committer` who committed it.

source
`LibGit2.count` — Function

    LibGit2.count(f::Function, walker::GitRevWalker; oid::GitHash=GitHash(), by::Cint=Consts.SORT_NONE, rev::Bool=false)

Using the `GitRevWalker` `walker` to "walk" over every commit in the repository's history, find the number of commits which return `true` when `f` is applied to them. The keyword arguments are: * `oid`: The `GitHash` of the commit to begin the walk from. The default is to use `push_head!` and therefore the HEAD commit and all its ancestors. * `by`: The sorting method. The default is not to sort. Other options are to sort by topology (`LibGit2.Consts.SORT_TOPOLOGICAL`), to sort forwards in time (`LibGit2.Consts.SORT_TIME`, most ancient first) or to sort backwards in time (`LibGit2.Consts.SORT_REVERSE`, most recent first). * `rev`: Whether to reverse the sorted order (for instance, if topological sorting is used).

Examples

    cnt = LibGit2.with(LibGit2.GitRevWalker(repo)) do walker
        LibGit2.count((oid, repo)->(oid == commit_oid1), walker, oid=commit_oid1, by=LibGit2.Consts.SORT_TIME)
    end

`LibGit2.count` finds the number of commits along the walk with a certain `GitHash` `commit_oid1`, starting the walk from that commit and moving forwards in time from it. Since the `GitHash` is unique to a commit, `cnt` will be `1`.

source
`LibGit2.counthunks` — Function

    counthunks(blame::GitBlame)

Return the number of distinct "hunks" with a file. A hunk may contain multiple lines. A hunk is usually a piece of a file that was added/changed/removed together, for example, a function added to a source file or an inner loop that was optimized out of that function later.

source
`LibGit2.create_branch` — Function

    LibGit2.create_branch(repo::GitRepo, bname::AbstractString, commit_obj::GitCommit; force::Bool=false)

Create a new branch in the repository `repo` with name `bname`, which points to commit `commit_obj` (which has to be part of `repo`). If `force` is `true`, overwrite an existing branch named `bname` if it exists. If `force` is `false` and a branch already exists named `bname`, this function will throw an error.

source
`LibGit2.credentials_callback` — Function

    credential_callback(...) -> Cint

A LibGit2 credential callback function which provides different credential acquisition functionality w.r.t. a connection protocol. The `payload_ptr` is required to contain a `LibGit2.CredentialPayload` object which will keep track of state and settings.

The `allowed_types` contains a bitmask of `LibGit2.Consts.GIT_CREDTYPE` values specifying which authentication methods should be attempted.

Credential authentication is done in the following order (if supported):

- SSH agent
- SSH private/public key pair
- Username/password plain text

If a user is presented with a credential prompt they can abort the prompt by typing `^D` (pressing the control key together with the `d` key).

Note: Due to the specifics of the `libgit2` authentication procedure, when authentication fails, this function is called again without any indication whether authentication was successful or not. To avoid an infinite loop from repeatedly using the same faulty credentials, we will keep track of state using the payload.

For addition details see the LibGit2 guide on authenticating against a server.

source
`LibGit2.credentials_cb` — Function

C function pointer for `credentials_callback`

source
`LibGit2.default_signature` — Function

Return signature object. Free it after use.

source
`LibGit2.delete_branch` — Function

    LibGit2.delete_branch(branch::GitReference)

Delete the branch pointed to by `branch`.

source
`LibGit2.diff_files` — Function

    diff_files(repo::GitRepo, branch1::AbstractString, branch2::AbstractString; kwarg...) -> Vector{AbstractString}

Show which files have changed in the git repository `repo` between branches `branch1` and `branch2`.

The keyword argument is:

- `filter::Set{Consts.DELTA_STATUS}=Set([Consts.DELTA_ADDED, Consts.DELTA_MODIFIED, Consts.DELTA_DELETED]))`, and it sets options for the diff. The default is to show files added, modified, or deleted.

Return only the names of the files which have changed, not their contents.

Examples

    LibGit2.branch!(repo, "branch/a")
    LibGit2.branch!(repo, "branch/b")
    # add a file to repo
    open(joinpath(LibGit2.path(repo),"file"),"w") do f
        write(f, "hello repo
    ")
    end
    LibGit2.add!(repo, "file")
    LibGit2.commit(repo, "add file")
    # returns ["file"]
    filt = Set([LibGit2.Consts.DELTA_ADDED])
    files = LibGit2.diff_files(repo, "branch/a", "branch/b", filter=filt)
    # returns [] because existing files weren't modified
    filt = Set([LibGit2.Consts.DELTA_MODIFIED])
    files = LibGit2.diff_files(repo, "branch/a", "branch/b", filter=filt)

Equivalent to `git diff --name-only --diff-filter=<filter> <branch1> <branch2>`.

source
`LibGit2.entryid` — Function

    entryid(te::GitTreeEntry)

Return the `GitHash` of the object to which `te` refers.

source
`LibGit2.entrytype` — Function

source
`LibGit2.fetch` — Function

    fetch(rmt::GitRemote, refspecs; options::FetchOptions=FetchOptions(), msg="")

Fetch from the specified `rmt` remote git repository, using `refspecs` to determine which remote branch(es) to fetch. The keyword arguments are:

- `options`: determines the options for the fetch, e.g. whether to prune afterwards. See `FetchOptions` for more information.
- `msg`: a message to insert into the reflogs.

source

    fetch(repo::GitRepo; kwargs...)

Fetches updates from an upstream of the repository `repo`.

The keyword arguments are:

- `remote::AbstractString="origin"`: which remote, specified by name, of `repo` to fetch from. If this is empty, the URL will be used to construct an anonymous remote.
- `remoteurl::AbstractString=""`: the URL of `remote`. If not specified, will be assumed based on the given name of `remote`.
- `refspecs=AbstractString[]`: determines properties of the fetch.
- `credentials=nothing`: provides credentials and/or settings when authenticating against a private `remote`.
- `callbacks=Callbacks()`: user provided callbacks and payloads.

Equivalent to `git fetch [<remoteurl>|<repo>] [<refspecs>]`.

source
`LibGit2.fetchheads` — Function

    fetchheads(repo::GitRepo) -> Vector{FetchHead}

Return the list of all the fetch heads for `repo`, each represented as a `FetchHead`, including their names, URLs, and merge statuses.

Examples

    julia> fetch_heads = LibGit2.fetchheads(repo);

    julia> fetch_heads[1].name
    "refs/heads/master"

    julia> fetch_heads[1].ismerge
    true

    julia> fetch_heads[2].name
    "refs/heads/test_branch"

    julia> fetch_heads[2].ismerge
    false

source
`LibGit2.fetch_refspecs` — Function

    fetch_refspecs(rmt::GitRemote) -> Vector{String}

    julia> LibGit2.fetch_refspecs(remote)
    String["+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*"]

source
`LibGit2.fetchhead_foreach_cb` — Function

source
`LibGit2.merge_base` — Function

    merge_base(repo::GitRepo, one::AbstractString, two::AbstractString) -> GitHash

Find a merge base (a common ancestor) between the commits `one` and `two`. `one` and `two` may both be in string form. Return the `GitHash` of the merge base.

source
`LibGit2.merge!` — Method

    merge!(repo::GitRepo; kwargs...) -> Bool

Perform a git merge on the repository `repo`, merging commits with diverging history into the current branch. Return `true` if the merge succeeded, `false` if not.

The keyword arguments are:

- `committish::AbstractString=""`: Merge the named commit(s) in `committish`.
- `branch::AbstractString=""`: Merge the branch `branch` and all its commits since it diverged from the current branch.
- `fastforward::Bool=false`: If `fastforward` is `true`, only merge if the merge is a fast-forward (the current branch head is an ancestor of the commits to be merged), otherwise refuse to merge and return `false`. This is equivalent to the git CLI option `--ff-only`.
- `merge_opts::MergeOptions=MergeOptions()`: `merge_opts` specifies options for the merge, such as merge strategy in case of conflicts.
- `checkout_opts::CheckoutOptions=CheckoutOptions()`: `checkout_opts` specifies options for the checkout step.

Equivalent to `git merge [--ff-only] [<committish> | <branch>]`.

Note

If you specify a `branch`, this must be done in reference format, since the string will be turned into a `GitReference`. For example, if you wanted to merge branch `branch_a`, you would call `merge!(repo, branch="refs/heads/branch_a")`.

source
`LibGit2.merge!` — Method

    merge!(repo::GitRepo, anns::Vector{GitAnnotated}; kwargs...) -> Bool

Merge changes from the annotated commits (captured as `GitAnnotated` objects) `anns` into the HEAD of the repository `repo`. The keyword arguments are:

- `merge_opts::MergeOptions = MergeOptions()`: options for how to perform the merge, including whether fastforwarding is allowed. See `MergeOptions` for more information.
- `checkout_opts::CheckoutOptions = CheckoutOptions()`: options for how to perform the checkout. See `CheckoutOptions` for more information.

`anns` may refer to remote or local branch heads. Return `true` if the merge is successful, otherwise return `false` (for instance, if no merge is possible because the branches have no common ancestor).

Examples

    upst_ann = LibGit2.GitAnnotated(repo, "branch/a")

    # merge the branch in
    LibGit2.merge!(repo, [upst_ann])

source
`LibGit2.merge!` — Method

    merge!(repo::GitRepo, anns::Vector{GitAnnotated}, fastforward::Bool; kwargs...) -> Bool

Merge changes from the annotated commits (captured as `GitAnnotated` objects) `anns` into the HEAD of the repository `repo`. If `fastforward` is `true`, only a fastforward merge is allowed. In this case, if conflicts occur, the merge will fail. Otherwise, if `fastforward` is `false`, the merge may produce a conflict file which the user will need to resolve.

The keyword arguments are:

- `merge_opts::MergeOptions = MergeOptions()`: options for how to perform the merge, including whether fastforwarding is allowed. See `MergeOptions` for more information.
- `checkout_opts::CheckoutOptions = CheckoutOptions()`: options for how to perform the checkout. See `CheckoutOptions` for more information.

`anns` may refer to remote or local branch heads. Return `true` if the merge is successful, otherwise return `false` (for instance, if no merge is possible because the branches have no common ancestor).

Examples

    upst_ann_1 = LibGit2.GitAnnotated(repo, "branch/a")

    # merge the branch in, fastforward
    LibGit2.merge!(repo, [upst_ann_1], true)

    # merge conflicts!
    upst_ann_2 = LibGit2.GitAnnotated(repo, "branch/b")
    # merge the branch in, try to fastforward
    LibGit2.merge!(repo, [upst_ann_2], true) # will return false
    LibGit2.merge!(repo, [upst_ann_2], false) # will return true

source
`LibGit2.ffmerge!` — Function

    ffmerge!(repo::GitRepo, ann::GitAnnotated)

Fastforward merge changes into current HEAD. This is only possible if the commit referred to by `ann` is descended from the current HEAD (e.g. if pulling changes from a remote branch which is simply ahead of the local branch tip).

source
`LibGit2.fullname` — Function

    LibGit2.fullname(ref::GitReference)

source
`LibGit2.gitdir` — Function

    LibGit2.gitdir(repo::GitRepo)

Return the location of the "git" files of `repo`:

- for normal repositories, this is the location of the `.git` folder.
- for bare repositories, this is the location of the repository itself.

See also `workdir`, `path`.

source
`LibGit2.git_url` — Function

    LibGit2.git_url(; kwargs...) -> String

Create a string based upon the URL components provided. When the `scheme` keyword is not provided the URL produced will use the alternative scp-like syntax.

Keywords

- `scheme::AbstractString=""`: the URL scheme which identifies the protocol to be used. For HTTP use "http", SSH use "ssh", etc. When `scheme` is not provided the output format will be "ssh" but using the scp-like syntax.
- `username::AbstractString=""`: the username to use in the output if provided.
- `password::AbstractString=""`: the password to use in the output if provided.
- `host::AbstractString=""`: the hostname to use in the output. A hostname is required to be specified.
- `port::Union{AbstractString,Integer}=""`: the port number to use in the output if provided. Cannot be specified when using the scp-like syntax.
- `path::AbstractString=""`: the path to use in the output if provided.

Warning

Avoid using passwords in URLs. Unlike the credential objects, Julia is not able to securely zero or destroy the sensitive data after use and the password may remain in memory; possibly to be exposed by an uninitialized memory.

Examples

    julia> LibGit2.git_url(username="git", host="github.com", path="JuliaLang/julia.git")
    "git@github.com:JuliaLang/julia.git"

    true

source
`LibGit2.isdiff` — Function

    LibGit2.isdiff(repo::GitRepo, treeish::AbstractString, pathspecs::AbstractString=""; cached::Bool=false)

Checks if there are any differences between the tree specified by `treeish` and the tracked files in the working tree (if `cached=false`) or the index (if `cached=true`). `pathspecs` are the specifications for options for the diff.

Examples

    repo = LibGit2.GitRepo(repo_path)
    LibGit2.isdiff(repo, "HEAD") # should be false
    open(joinpath(repo_path, new_file), "a") do f
        println(f, "here's my cool new file")
    end
    LibGit2.isdiff(repo, "HEAD") # now true

Equivalent to `git diff-index <treeish> [-- <pathspecs>]`.

source
`LibGit2.isdirty` — Function

    LibGit2.isdirty(repo::GitRepo, pathspecs::AbstractString=""; cached::Bool=false) -> Bool

Check if there have been any changes to tracked files in the working tree (if `cached=false`) or the index (if `cached=true`). `pathspecs` are the specifications for options for the diff.

Examples

    repo = LibGit2.GitRepo(repo_path)
    LibGit2.isdirty(repo) # should be false
    open(joinpath(repo_path, new_file), "a") do f
        println(f, "here's my cool new file")
    end
    LibGit2.isdirty(repo) # now true
    LibGit2.isdirty(repo, new_file) # now true

Equivalent to `git diff-index HEAD [-- <pathspecs>]`.

source
`LibGit2.isorphan` — Function

    LibGit2.isorphan(repo::GitRepo)

Check if the current branch is an "orphan" branch, i.e. has no commits. The first commit to this branch will have no parents.

source
`LibGit2.isset` — Function

    isset(val::Integer, flag::Integer)

Test whether the bits of `val` indexed by `flag` are set (`1`) or unset (`0`).

    lookup_branch(repo::GitRepo, branch_name::AbstractString, remote::Bool=false) -> Union{GitReference, Nothing}

Determine if the branch specified by `branch_name` exists in the repository `repo`. If `remote` is `true`, `repo` is assumed to be a remote git repository. Otherwise, it is part of the local filesystem.

Return either a `GitReference` to the requested branch if it exists, or `nothing` if not.

source
`LibGit2.map` — Function

    LibGit2.map(f::Function, walker::GitRevWalker; oid::GitHash=GitHash(), range::AbstractString="", by::Cint=Consts.SORT_NONE, rev::Bool=false)

Using the `GitRevWalker` `walker` to "walk" over every commit in the repository's history, apply `f` to each commit in the walk. The keyword arguments are: * `oid`: The `GitHash` of the commit to begin the walk from. The default is to use `push_head!` and therefore the HEAD commit and all its ancestors. * `range`: A range of `GitHash`s in the format `oid1..oid2`. `f` will be applied to all commits between the two. * `by`: The sorting method. The default is not to sort. Other options are to sort by topology (`LibGit2.Consts.SORT_TOPOLOGICAL`), to sort forwards in time (`LibGit2.Consts.SORT_TIME`, most ancient first) or to sort backwards in time (`LibGit2.Consts.SORT_REVERSE`, most recent first). * `rev`: Whether to reverse the sorted order (for instance, if topological sorting is used).

Examples

    oids = LibGit2.with(LibGit2.GitRevWalker(repo)) do walker
        LibGit2.map((oid, repo)->string(oid), walker, by=LibGit2.Consts.SORT_TIME)

source
`LibGit2.mirror_cb` — Function

C function pointer for `mirror_callback`

source
`LibGit2.message` — Function

    message(c::GitCommit, raw::Bool=false)

Return the commit message describing the changes made in commit `c`. If `raw` is `false`, return a slightly "cleaned up" message (which has any leading newlines removed). If `raw` is `true`, the message is not stripped of any such newlines.

source
`LibGit2.merge_analysis` — Function

    merge_analysis(repo::GitRepo, anns::Vector{GitAnnotated}) -> analysis, preference

Run analysis on the branches pointed to by the annotated branch tips `anns` and determine under what circumstances they can be merged. For instance, if `anns[1]` is simply an ancestor of `ann[2]`, then `merge_analysis` will report that a fast-forward merge is possible.

Return two outputs, `analysis` and `preference`. `analysis` has several possible values: * `MERGE_ANALYSIS_NONE`: it is not possible to merge the elements of `anns`. * `MERGE_ANALYSIS_NORMAL`: a regular merge, when HEAD and the commits that the user wishes to merge have all diverged from a common ancestor. In this case the changes have to be resolved and conflicts may occur. * `MERGE_ANALYSIS_UP_TO_DATE`: all the input commits the user wishes to merge can be reached from HEAD, so no merge needs to be performed. * `MERGE_ANALYSIS_FASTFORWARD`: the input commit is a descendant of HEAD and so no merge needs to be performed - instead, the user can simply checkout the input commit(s). * `MERGE_ANALYSIS_UNBORN`: the HEAD of the repository refers to a commit which does not exist. It is not possible to merge, but it may be possible to checkout the input commits. `preference` also has several possible values: * `MERGE_PREFERENCE_NONE`: the user has no preference. * `MERGE_PREFERENCE_NO_FASTFORWARD`: do not allow any fast-forward merges. * `MERGE_PREFERENCE_FASTFORWARD_ONLY`: allow only fast-forward merges and no other type (which may introduce conflicts). `preference` can be controlled through the repository or global git configuration.

Return the type corresponding to the enum value.

source
`LibGit2.path` — Function

    LibGit2.path(repo::GitRepo)

Return the base file path of the repository `repo`.

- for normal repositories, this will typically be the parent directory of the ".git" directory (note: this may be different than the working directory, see `workdir` for more details).
- for bare repositories, this is the location of the "git" files.

See also `gitdir`, `workdir`.

source
`LibGit2.peel` — Function

    peel([T,] ref::GitReference)

Recursively peel `ref` until an object of type `T` is obtained. If no `T` is provided, then `ref` will be peeled until an object other than a `GitTag` is obtained.

- A `GitTag` will be peeled to the object it references.
- A `GitCommit` will be peeled to a `GitTree`.

Note

Only annotated tags can be peeled to `GitTag` objects. Lightweight tags (the default) are references under `refs/tags/` which point directly to `GitCommit` objects.

source

    peel([T,] obj::GitObject)

Recursively peel `obj` until an object of type `T` is obtained. If no `T` is provided, then `obj` will be peeled until the type changes.

source
`LibGit2.push` — Function

    push(rmt::GitRemote, refspecs; force::Bool=false, options::PushOptions=PushOptions())

Push to the specified `rmt` remote git repository, using `refspecs` to determine which remote branch(es) to push to. The keyword arguments are:

- `force`: if `true`, a force-push will occur, disregarding conflicts.
- `options`: determines the options for the push, e.g. which proxy headers to use. See `PushOptions` for more information.

Note

You can add information about the push refspecs in two other ways: by setting an option in the repository's `GitConfig` (with `push.default` as the key) or by calling `add_push!`. Otherwise you will need to explicitly specify a push refspec in the call to `push` for it to have any effect, like so: `LibGit2.push(repo, refspecs=["refs/heads/master"])`.

source

    push(repo::GitRepo; kwargs...)

Pushes updates to an upstream of `repo`.

The keyword arguments are:

- `remote::AbstractString="origin"`: the name of the upstream remote to push to.
- `remoteurl::AbstractString=""`: the URL of `remote`.
- `refspecs=AbstractString[]`: determines properties of the push.
- `force::Bool=false`: determines if the push will be a force push, overwriting the remote branch.
- `credentials=nothing`: provides credentials and/or settings when authenticating against a private `remote`.
- `callbacks=Callbacks()`: user provided callbacks and payloads.

Equivalent to `git push [<remoteurl>|<repo>] [<refspecs>]`.

source
`LibGit2.push!` — Method

    LibGit2.push!(w::GitRevWalker, cid::GitHash)

Start the `GitRevWalker` `walker` at commit `cid`. This function can be used to apply a function to all commits since a certain year, by passing the first commit of that year as `cid` and then passing the resulting `w` to `LibGit2.map`.

source
`LibGit2.push_head!` — Function

    LibGit2.push_head!(w::GitRevWalker)

Push the HEAD commit and its ancestors onto the `GitRevWalker` `w`. This ensures that HEAD and all its ancestor commits will be encountered during the walk.

source
`LibGit2.push_refspecs` — Function

    push_refspecs(rmt::GitRemote) -> Vector{String}

Get the push refspecs for the specified `rmt`. These refspecs contain information about which branch(es) to push to.

`LibGit2.read_tree!` — Function

    LibGit2.read_tree!(idx::GitIndex, tree::GitTree)
    LibGit2.read_tree!(idx::GitIndex, treehash::AbstractGitHash)

Read the tree `tree` (or the tree pointed to by `treehash` in the repository owned by `idx`) into the index `idx`. The current index contents will be replaced.

source
`LibGit2.rebase!` — Function

    LibGit2.rebase!(repo::GitRepo, upstream::AbstractString="", newbase::AbstractString="")

Attempt an automatic merge rebase of the current branch, from `upstream` if provided, or otherwise from the upstream tracking branch. `newbase` is the branch to rebase onto. By default this is `upstream`.

If any conflicts arise which cannot be automatically resolved, the rebase will abort, leaving the repository and working tree in its original state, and the function will throw a `GitError`. This is roughly equivalent to the following command line statement:

    git rebase --merge [<upstream>]
    if [ -d ".git/rebase-merge" ]; then
        git rebase --abort
    fi

source
`LibGit2.ref_list` — Function

    LibGit2.ref_list(repo::GitRepo) -> Vector{String}

- `0` if the reference is invalid
- `1` if the reference is an object id
- `2` if the reference is symbolic

source

source
`LibGit2.reset` — Function

    reset(val::Integer, flag::Integer)

Unset the bits of `val` indexed by `flag`, returning them to `0`.

source
`LibGit2.reset!` — Function

    reset!(payload, [config]) -> CredentialPayload

Reset the `payload` state back to the initial values so that it can be used again within the credential callback. If a `config` is provided the configuration will also be updated.

source

Updates some entries, determined by the `pathspecs`, in the index from the target commit tree.

source

Sets the current head to the specified commit oid and optionally resets the index and working tree to match.

source

git reset [<committish>] [–] <pathspecs>...

source

    reset!(repo::GitRepo, id::GitHash, mode::Cint=Consts.RESET_MIXED)

Reset the repository `repo` to its state at `id`, using one of three modes set by `mode`:

1. `Consts.RESET_SOFT` - move HEAD to `id`.
2. `Consts.RESET_MIXED` - default, move HEAD to `id` and reset the index to `id`.
3. `Consts.RESET_HARD` - move HEAD to `id`, reset the index to `id`, and discard all working changes.

Examples

    # fetch changes
    LibGit2.fetch(repo)
    isfile(joinpath(repo_path, our_file)) # will be false

    # fastforward merge the changes
    LibGit2.merge!(repo, fastforward=true)

    # because there was not any file locally, but there is
    # a file remotely, we need to reset the branch
    head_oid = LibGit2.head_oid(repo)
    new_head = LibGit2.reset!(repo, head_oid, LibGit2.Consts.RESET_HARD)

In this example, the remote which is being fetched from does have a file called `our_file` in its index, which is why we must reset.

Equivalent to `git reset [--soft | --mixed | --hard] <id>`.

Examples

    repo = LibGit2.GitRepo(repo_path)
    head_oid = LibGit2.head_oid(repo)
    open(joinpath(repo_path, "file1"), "w") do f
        write(f, "111
    ")
    end
    LibGit2.add!(repo, "file1")
    mode = LibGit2.Consts.RESET_HARD
    # will discard the changes to file1
    # and unstage it
    new_head = LibGit2.reset!(repo, head_oid, mode)

source
`LibGit2.restore` — Function

    restore(s::State, repo::GitRepo)

Return a repository `repo` to a previous `State` `s`, for example the HEAD of a branch before a merge attempt. `s` can be generated using the `snapshot` function.

source
`LibGit2.revcount` — Function

    LibGit2.revcount(repo::GitRepo, commit1::AbstractString, commit2::AbstractString)

List the number of revisions between `commit1` and `commit2` (committish OIDs in string form). Since `commit1` and `commit2` may be on different branches, `revcount` performs a "left-right" revision list (and count), returning a tuple of `Int`s - the number of left and right commits, respectively. A left (or right) commit refers to which side of a symmetric difference in a tree the commit is reachable from.

Equivalent to `git rev-list --left-right --count <commit1> <commit2>`.

Examples

    repo = LibGit2.GitRepo(repo_path)
    repo_file = open(joinpath(repo_path, test_file), "a")
    println(repo_file, "hello world")
    flush(repo_file)
    LibGit2.add!(repo, test_file)
    commit_oid1 = LibGit2.commit(repo, "commit 1")
    println(repo_file, "hello world again")
    flush(repo_file)
    LibGit2.add!(repo, test_file)
    commit_oid2 = LibGit2.commit(repo, "commit 2")
    LibGit2.revcount(repo, string(commit_oid1), string(commit_oid2))

This will return `(-1, 0)`.

source
`LibGit2.set_remote_url` — Function

    set_remote_url(repo::GitRepo, remote_name, url)
    set_remote_url(repo::String, remote_name, url)

Set both the fetch and push `url` for `remote_name` for the `GitRepo` or the git repository located at `path`. Typically git repos use `"origin"` as the remote name.

Examples

    repo_path = joinpath(tempdir(), "Example")
    repo = LibGit2.init(repo_path)
    LibGit2.set_remote_url(repo, "upstream", "https://github.com/JuliaLang/Example.jl")

    "master"

source
`LibGit2.snapshot` — Function

    snapshot(repo::GitRepo) -> State

Take a snapshot of the current state of the repository `repo`, storing the current HEAD, index, and any uncommitted work. The output `State` can be used later during a call to `restore` to return the repository to the snapshotted state.

source
`LibGit2.split_cfg_entry` — Function

    LibGit2.split_cfg_entry(ce::LibGit2.ConfigEntry) -> Tuple{String,String,String,String}

Break the `ConfigEntry` up to the following pieces: section, subsection, name, and value.

Examples

Given the git configuration file containing:

    [credential "https://example.com"]
        username = me

The `ConfigEntry` would look like the following:

    julia> entry
    ConfigEntry("credential.https://example.com.username", "me")

    julia> LibGit2.split_cfg_entry(entry)
    ("credential", "https://example.com", "username", "me")

Refer to the git config syntax documentation for more details.

source
`LibGit2.status` — Function

    LibGit2.status(repo::GitRepo, path::String) -> Union{Cuint, Cvoid}

source
`LibGit2.stage` — Function

    stage(ie::IndexEntry) -> Cint

Get the stage number of `ie`. The stage number `0` represents the current state of the working tree, but other numbers can be used in the case of a merge conflict. In such a case, the various stage numbers on an `IndexEntry` describe which side(s) of the conflict the current state of the file belongs to. Stage `0` is the state before the attempted merge, stage `1` is the changes which have been made locally, stages `2` and larger are for changes from other branches (for instance, in the case of a multi-branch "octopus" merge, stages `2`, `3`, and `4` might be used).

source
`LibGit2.tag_create` — Function

    LibGit2.tag_create(repo::GitRepo, tag::AbstractString, commit; kwargs...)

Create a new git tag `tag` (e.g. `"v0.5"`) in the repository `repo`, at the commit `commit`.

source
`LibGit2.transact` — Function

    transact(f::Function, repo::GitRepo)

Apply function `f` to the git repository `repo`, taking a `snapshot` before applying `f`. If an error occurs within `f`, `repo` will be returned to its snapshot state using `restore`. The error which occurred will be rethrown, but the state of `repo` will not be corrupted.

source
`LibGit2.treewalk` — Function

    treewalk(f, tree::GitTree, post::Bool=false)

Traverse the entries in `tree` and its subtrees in post or pre order. Preorder means beginning at the root and then traversing the leftmost subtree (and recursively on down through that subtree's leftmost subtrees) and moving right through the subtrees. Postorder means beginning at the bottom of the leftmost subtree, traversing upwards through it, then traversing the next right subtree (again beginning at the bottom) and finally visiting the tree root last of all.

The function parameter `f` should have following signature:

    (String, GitTreeEntry) -> Cint

A negative value returned from `f` stops the tree walk. A positive value means that the entry will be skipped if `post` is `false`.

source
`LibGit2.with_warn` — Function

    with_warn(f::Function, ::Type{T}, args...)

Resource management helper function. Apply `f` to `args`, first constructing an instance of type `T` from `args`. Makes sure to call `close` on the resulting object after `f` successfully returns or throws an error. Ensures that allocated git resources are finalized as soon as they are no longer needed. If an error is thrown by `f`, a warning is shown containing the error.

source
`LibGit2.workdir` — Function

    LibGit2.workdir(repo::GitRepo)

Return the location of the working directory of `repo`. This will throw an error for bare repositories.

Note

This will typically be the parent directory of `gitdir(repo)`, but can be different in some cases: e.g. if either the `core.worktree` configuration variable or the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment variable is set.

See also `gitdir`, `path`.

source
`LibGit2.GitObject` — Method

    (::Type{T})(te::GitTreeEntry) where T<:GitObject

Get the git object to which `te` refers and return it as its actual type (the type `entrytype` would show), for instance a `GitBlob` or `GitTag`.

`LibGit2.Consts.GIT_CONFIG` — Type

Priority level of a config file.

These priority levels correspond to the natural escalation logic (from higher to lower) when searching for config entries in git.

- `CONFIG_LEVEL_DEFAULT` - Open the global, XDG and system configuration files if any available.
- `CONFIG_LEVEL_PROGRAMDATA` - System-wide on Windows, for compatibility with portable git
- `CONFIG_LEVEL_SYSTEM` - System-wide configuration file; `/etc/gitconfig` on Linux systems
- `CONFIG_LEVEL_XDG` - XDG compatible configuration file; typically `~/.config/git/config`
- `CONFIG_LEVEL_GLOBAL` - User-specific configuration file (also called Global configuration file); typically `~/.gitconfig`
- `CONFIG_LEVEL_LOCAL` - Repository specific configuration file; `$WORK_DIR/.git/config` on non-bare repos
- `CONFIG_LEVEL_WORKTREE` - Worktree specific configuration file; `$GIT_DIR/config.worktree`
- `CONFIG_LEVEL_APP` - Application specific configuration file; freely defined by applications
- `CONFIG_HIGHEST_LEVEL` - Represents the highest level available config file (i.e. the most specific config file available that actually is loaded)
