73 This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
74 system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
75 commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
76 for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
77 the generic command interface.
79 While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
80 or 'init'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
81 means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
82 (In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
83 called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
86 Part of the "repository state" is also information about path to the attached
87 working copy (unless you work with a bare repository). You can also navigate
88 inside of the working copy using the C<wc_chdir()> method. (Note that
89 the repository object is self-contained and will not change working directory
92 TODO: In the future, we might also do
94 my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
95 $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
96 my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
98 Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
99 it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
100 to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
101 increase notwithstanding).

119 =item repository ( OPTIONS )
121 =item repository ( DIRECTORY )
125 Construct a new repository object.
126 C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs.
127 Possible options are:
129 B<Repository> - Path to the Git repository.
131 B<WorkingCopy> - Path to the associated working copy; not strictly required
132 as many commands will happily crunch on a bare repository.
134 B<WorkingSubdir> - Subdirectory in the working copy to work inside.
135 Just left undefined if you do not want to limit the scope of operations.
137 B<Directory> - Path to the Git working directory in its usual setup.
138 The C<.git> directory is searched in the directory and all the parent
139 directories; if found, C<WorkingCopy> is set to the directory containing
140 it and C<Repository> to the C<.git> directory itself. If no C<.git>
141 directory was found, the C<Directory> is assumed to be a bare repository,
142 C<Repository> is set to point at it and C<WorkingCopy> is left undefined.
143 If the C<$GIT_DIR> environment variable is set, things behave as expected
146 You should not use both C<Directory> and either of C<Repository> and
147 C<WorkingCopy> - the results of that are undefined.
149 Alternatively, a directory path may be passed as a single scalar argument
150 to the constructor; it is equivalent to setting only the C<Directory> option
153 Calling the constructor with no options whatsoever is equivalent to
154 calling it with C<< Directory => '.' >>. In general, if you are building
155 a standard porcelain command, simply doing C<< Git->repository() >> should
156 do the right thing and setup the object to reflect exactly where the user

242 =item command ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
244 =item command ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
246 Execute the given Git C<COMMAND> (specify it without the 'git-'
247 prefix), optionally with the specified extra C<ARGUMENTS>.
249 The second more elaborate form can be used if you want to further adjust
250 the command execution. Currently, only one option is supported:
252 B<STDERR> - How to deal with the command's error output. By default (C<undef>)
253 it is delivered to the caller's C<STDERR>. A false value (0 or '') will cause
254 it to be thrown away. If you want to process it, you can get it in a filehandle
255 you specify, but you must be extremely careful; if the error output is not
256 very short and you want to read it in the same process as where you called
257 C<command()>, you are set up for a nice deadlock!
259 The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository
260 (in that case the command will be run in the repository context).
262 In scalar context, it returns all the command output in a single string
265 In array context, it returns an array containing lines printed to the
266 command's stdout (without trailing newlines).
268 In both cases, the command's stdin and stderr are the same as the caller's.
273 my ($fh, $ctx) = command_output_pipe(@_);

312 does but always return a scalar string containing the first line
313 of the command's standard output.

339 does but return a pipe filehandle from which the command output can be
342 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.
343 See C<command_close_pipe()> for details.

352 =item command_input_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
354 =item command_input_pipe ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
356 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
357 does but return an input pipe filehandle instead; the command output
360 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.
361 See C<command_close_pipe()> for details.
365 sub command_input_pipe {
366 _command_common_pipe('|-', @_);
370 =item command_close_pipe ( PIPE [, CTX ] )
372 Close the C<PIPE> as returned from C<command_*_pipe()>, checking
373 whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX> argument
374 is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
375 and it is the second value returned by C<command_*_pipe()> when
376 called in array context. The call idiom is:
378 my ($fh, $ctx) = $r->command_output_pipe('status');
379 while (<$fh>) { ... }
380 $r->command_close_pipe($fh, $ctx);
382 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
383 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
384 have more complicated structure.
388 sub command_close_pipe {
389 my ($self, $fh, $ctx) = _maybe_self(@_);
390 $ctx ||= '<unknown>';
391 _cmd_close($ctx, $fh);
394 =item command_bidi_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
396 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
397 does but return both an input pipe filehandle and an output pipe filehandle.
399 The function will return C<($pid, $pipe_in, $pipe_out, $ctx)>.
400 See C<command_close_bidi_pipe()> for details.
404 sub command_bidi_pipe {
405 my ($pid, $in, $out);
406 my ($self) = _maybe_self(@_);
408 my $cwd_save = undef;
412 _setup_git_cmd_env($self);
414 $pid = open2($in, $out, 'git', @_);
415 chdir($cwd_save) if $cwd_save;
416 return ($pid, $in, $out, join(' ', @_));
419 =item command_close_bidi_pipe ( PID, PIPE_IN, PIPE_OUT [, CTX] )
421 Close the C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> as returned from C<command_bidi_pipe()>,
422 checking whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX>
423 argument is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
424 and it is the fourth value returned by C<command_bidi_pipe()>. The call idiom
427 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');
428 print $out "000000000\n";
429 while (<$in>) { ... }
430 $r->command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, $out, $ctx);
432 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
433 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
434 have more complicated structure.
436 C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> may be C<undef> if they have been closed prior to
437 calling this function. This may be useful in a query-response type of
438 commands where caller first writes a query and later reads response, eg:
440 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');
441 print $out "000000000\n";
443 while (<$in>) { ... }
444 $r->command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, undef, $ctx);
446 This idiom may prevent potential dead locks caused by data sent to the output
447 pipe not being flushed and thus not reaching the executed command.
451 sub command_close_bidi_pipe {
453 my ($self, $pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = _maybe_self(@_);
454 _cmd_close($ctx, (grep { defined } ($in, $out)));
457 throw Git::Error::Command($ctx, $? >>8);
462 =item command_noisy ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
464 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command() does but do not
465 capture the command output - the standard output is not redirected and goes
466 to the standard output of the caller application.
468 While the method is called command_noisy(), you might want to as well use
469 it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your
470 stdout but you want to avoid the overhead of the pipe setup when calling them.
472 The function returns only after the command has finished running.
477 my ($self, $cmd, @args) = _maybe_self(@_);
478 _check_valid_cmd($cmd);
481 if (not defined $pid) {
482 throw Error::Simple("fork failed: $!");

486 if (waitpid($pid, 0) > 0 and $?>>8 != 0) {
487 throw Git::Error::Command(join(' ', $cmd, @args), $? >> 8);
494 Return the Git version in use.
499 my $verstr = command_oneline('--version');
500 $verstr =~ s/^git version //;
507 Return path to the Git sub-command executables (the same as
508 C<git --exec-path>). Useful mostly only internally.
512 sub exec_path { command_oneline('--exec-path') }
517 Return path to the Git html documentation (the same as
518 C<git --html-path>). Useful mostly only internally.
522 sub html_path { command_oneline('--html-path') }
525 =item get_tz_offset ( TIME )
527 Return the time zone offset from GMT in the form +/-HHMM where HH is
528 the number of hours from GMT and MM is the number of minutes. This is
529 the equivalent of what strftime("%z", ...) would provide on a GNU
532 If TIME is not supplied, the current local time is used.

548 Read one record from FILEHANDLE delimited by INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR,
549 removing any trailing INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR.
557 chomp $rec if defined $rec;
561 =item prompt ( PROMPT , ISPASSWORD )
563 Query user C<PROMPT> and return answer from user.
565 Honours GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS environment variables for querying
566 the user. If no *_ASKPASS variable is set or an error occurred,
567 the terminal is tried as a fallback.

677 =item config ( VARIABLE )
679 Retrieve the configuration C<VARIABLE> in the same manner as C<config>
680 does. In scalar context requires the variable to be set only one time
681 (exception is thrown otherwise), in array context returns allows the
682 variable to be set multiple times and returns all the values.

715 is an expanded path or C<undef> if it's not defined.
720 return _config_common({'kind' => '--path'}, @_);
724 =item config_int ( VARIABLE )
726 Retrieve the integer configuration C<VARIABLE>. The return value
727 is simple decimal number. An optional value suffix of 'k', 'm',
728 or 'g' in the config file will cause the value to be multiplied
729 by 1024, 1048576 (1024^2), or 1073741824 (1024^3) prior to output.
730 It would return C<undef> if configuration variable is not defined.

824 =item remote_refs ( REPOSITORY [, GROUPS [, REFGLOBS ] ] )
826 This function returns a hashref of refs stored in a given remote repository.
827 The hash is in the format C<refname =\> hash>. For tags, the C<refname> entry
828 contains the tag object while a C<refname^{}> entry gives the tagged objects.
830 C<REPOSITORY> has the same meaning as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
831 argument; either a URL or a remote name (if called on a repository instance).
832 C<GROUPS> is an optional arrayref that can contain 'tags' to return all the
833 tags and/or 'heads' to return all the heads. C<REFGLOB> is an optional array
834 of strings containing a shell-like glob to further limit the refs returned in
835 the hash; the meaning is again the same as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
838 This function may or may not be called on a repository instance. In the former
839 case, remote names as defined in the repository are recognized as repository

877 =item ident ( TYPE | IDENTSTR )
879 =item ident_person ( TYPE | IDENTSTR | IDENTARRAY )
881 This suite of functions retrieves and parses ident information, as stored
882 in the commit and tag objects or produced by C<var GIT_type_IDENT> (thus
883 C<TYPE> can be either I<author> or I<committer>; case is insignificant).
885 The C<ident> method retrieves the ident information from C<git var>
886 and either returns it as a scalar string or as an array with the fields parsed.
887 Alternatively, it can take a prepared ident string (e.g. from the commit
888 object) and just parse it.
890 C<ident_person> returns the person part of the ident - name and email;
891 it can take the same arguments as C<ident> or the array returned by C<ident>.
893 The synopsis is like:
895 my ($name, $email, $time_tz) = ident('author');
896 "$name <$email>" eq ident_person('author');
897 "$name <$email>" eq ident_person($name);

1169 =item credential( CREDENTIAL_HASHREF, CODE )
1171 Executes C<git credential> for a given set of credentials and specified
1172 operation. In both forms C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> needs to be a reference to
1173 a hash which stores credentials. Under certain conditions the hash can
1176 In the first form, C<OPERATION> can be C<'fill'>, C<'approve'> or C<'reject'>,
1177 and function will execute corresponding C<git credential> sub-command. If
1178 it's omitted C<'fill'> is assumed. In case of C<'fill'> the values stored in
1179 C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> will be changed to the ones returned by the C<git
1180 credential fill> command. The usual usage would look something like:
1183 'protocol' => 'https',
1184 'host' => 'example.com',
1187 Git::credential \%cred;
1188 if (try_to_authenticate($cred{'username'}, $cred{'password'})) {
1189 Git::credential \%cred, 'approve';
1190 ... do more stuff ...
1192 Git::credential \%cred, 'reject';
1195 In the second form, C<CODE> needs to be a reference to a subroutine. The
1196 function will execute C<git credential fill> to fill the provided credential
1197 hash, then call C<CODE> with C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> as the sole argument. If
1198 C<CODE>'s return value is defined, the function will execute C<git credential
1199 approve> (if return value yields true) or C<git credential reject> (if return
1200 value is false). If the return value is undef, nothing at all is executed;
1201 this is useful, for example, if the credential could neither be verified nor
1202 rejected due to an unrelated network error. The return value is the same as
1203 what C<CODE> returns. With this form, the usage might look as follows:
1205 if (Git::credential {
1206 'protocol' => 'https',
1207 'host' => 'example.com',
1211 return !!try_to_authenticate($cred->{'username'},

1240 Attempts to retrieve the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
1241 associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
1242 created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
1244 Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
1245 C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
1246 to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
1247 cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
1248 threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
1249 writing over one another.
1251 In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
1252 it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
1253 file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty

1269 call with C<NAME> is still in effect.
1271 When temp_acquire is called on a C<NAME>, it internally locks the temporary
1272 file mapped to C<NAME>. That lock will not be released until C<temp_release()>
1273 is called with either the original C<NAME> or the L<File::Handle> that was
1274 returned from the original call to temp_acquire.
1276 Subsequent attempts to call C<temp_acquire()> with the same C<NAME> will fail
1277 unless there has been an intervening C<temp_release()> call for that C<NAME>
1278 (or its corresponding L<File::Handle> that was returned by the original
1279 C<temp_acquire()> call).
1281 If true is returned by C<temp_is_locked()> for a C<NAME>, an attempt to
1282 C<temp_acquire()> the same C<NAME> will cause an error unless
1283 C<temp_release> is first called on that C<NAME> (or its corresponding
1284 L<File::Handle> that was returned by the original C<temp_acquire()> call).

1307 is in the output buffers. Beware that after the temp file is released and
1308 truncated, any operations on that file may fail miserably until it is

1497 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
1499 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1500 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1501 L<Error::Simple> instances.
1503 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1504 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1505 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1506 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1507 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1508 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1509 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1510 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1511 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1513 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1514 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1515 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1516 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.

1571 and %d for the exit status. This statement is useful mostly for producing
1572 more user-friendly error messages.
