69 This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
70 system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
71 commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
72 for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
73 the generic command interface.
75 While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
76 or 'init'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
77 means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
78 (In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
79 called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
82 Part of the "repository state" is also information about path to the attached
83 working copy (unless you work with a bare repository). You can also navigate
84 inside of the working copy using the C<wc_chdir()> method. (Note that
85 the repository object is self-contained and will not change working directory
88 TODO: In the future, we might also do
90 my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
91 $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
92 my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
94 Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
95 it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
96 to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
97 increase notwithstanding).

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

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

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

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

349 =item command_input_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
351 =item command_input_pipe ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
353 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
354 does but return an input pipe filehandle instead; the command output
357 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.
358 See C<command_close_pipe()> for details.
362 sub command_input_pipe {
363 _command_common_pipe('|-', @_);
367 =item command_close_pipe ( PIPE [, CTX ] )
369 Close the C<PIPE> as returned from C<command_*_pipe()>, checking
370 whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX> argument
371 is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
372 and it is the second value returned by C<command_*_pipe()> when
373 called in array context. The call idiom is:
375 my ($fh, $ctx) = $r->command_output_pipe('status');
376 while (<$fh>) { ... }
377 $r->command_close_pipe($fh, $ctx);
379 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
380 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
381 have more complicated structure.
385 sub command_close_pipe {
386 my ($self, $fh, $ctx) = _maybe_self(@_);
387 $ctx ||= '<unknown>';
388 _cmd_close($ctx, $fh);
391 =item command_bidi_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
393 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
394 does but return both an input pipe filehandle and an output pipe filehandle.
396 The function will return return C<($pid, $pipe_in, $pipe_out, $ctx)>.
397 See C<command_close_bidi_pipe()> for details.
401 sub command_bidi_pipe {
402 my ($pid, $in, $out);
403 my ($self) = _maybe_self(@_);

413 return ($pid, $in, $out, join(' ', @_));
416 =item command_close_bidi_pipe ( PID, PIPE_IN, PIPE_OUT [, CTX] )
418 Close the C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> as returned from C<command_bidi_pipe()>,
419 checking whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX>
420 argument is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
421 and it is the fourth value returned by C<command_bidi_pipe()>. The call idiom
424 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');
425 print $out "000000000\n";
426 while (<$in>) { ... }
427 $r->command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, $out, $ctx);
429 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
430 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
431 have more complicated structure.
433 C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> may be C<undef> if they have been closed prior to
434 calling this function. This may be useful in a query-response type of
435 commands where caller first writes a query and later reads response, eg:
437 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');
438 print $out "000000000\n";
440 while (<$in>) { ... }
441 $r->command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, undef, $ctx);
443 This idiom may prevent potential dead locks caused by data sent to the output
444 pipe not being flushed and thus not reaching the executed command.
448 sub command_close_bidi_pipe {
450 my ($self, $pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = _maybe_self(@_);
451 _cmd_close($ctx, (grep { defined } ($in, $out)));
454 throw Git::Error::Command($ctx, $? >>8);
459 =item command_noisy ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
461 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command() does but do not
462 capture the command output - the standard output is not redirected and goes
463 to the standard output of the caller application.
465 While the method is called command_noisy(), you might want to as well use
466 it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your
467 stdout but you want to avoid the overhead of the pipe setup when calling them.
469 The function returns only after the command has finished running.
474 my ($self, $cmd, @args) = _maybe_self(@_);
475 _check_valid_cmd($cmd);
478 if (not defined $pid) {
479 throw Error::Simple("fork failed: $!");

483 if (waitpid($pid, 0) > 0 and $?>>8 != 0) {
484 throw Git::Error::Command(join(' ', $cmd, @args), $? >> 8);
491 Return the Git version in use.
496 my $verstr = command_oneline('--version');
497 $verstr =~ s/^git version //;
504 Return path to the Git sub-command executables (the same as
505 C<git --exec-path>). Useful mostly only internally.
509 sub exec_path { command_oneline('--exec-path') }
514 Return path to the Git html documentation (the same as
515 C<git --html-path>). Useful mostly only internally.
519 sub html_path { command_oneline('--html-path') }
522 =item get_tz_offset ( TIME )
524 Return the time zone offset from GMT in the form +/-HHMM where HH is
525 the number of hours from GMT and MM is the number of minutes. This is
526 the equivalent of what strftime("%z", ...) would provide on a GNU
529 If TIME is not supplied, the current local time is used.

544 Query user C<PROMPT> and return answer from user.
546 Honours GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS environment variables for querying
547 the user. If no *_ASKPASS variable is set or an error occoured,
548 the terminal is tried as a fallback.

648 Retrieve the configuration C<VARIABLE> in the same manner as C<config>
649 does. In scalar context requires the variable to be set only one time
650 (exception is thrown otherwise), in array context returns allows the
651 variable to be set multiple times and returns all the values.
656 return _config_common({}, @_);
660 =item config_bool ( VARIABLE )
662 Retrieve the bool configuration C<VARIABLE>. The return value
663 is usable as a boolean in perl (and C<undef> if it's not defined,
669 my $val = scalar _config_common({'kind' => '--bool'}, @_);

695 Retrieve the integer configuration C<VARIABLE>. The return value
696 is simple decimal number. An optional value suffix of 'k', 'm',
697 or 'g' in the config file will cause the value to be multiplied
698 by 1024, 1048576 (1024^2), or 1073741824 (1024^3) prior to output.
699 It would return C<undef> if configuration variable is not defined.

769 This function returns a hashref of refs stored in a given remote repository.
770 The hash is in the format C<refname =\> hash>. For tags, the C<refname> entry
771 contains the tag object while a C<refname^{}> entry gives the tagged objects.
773 C<REPOSITORY> has the same meaning as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
774 argument; either a URL or a remote name (if called on a repository instance).
775 C<GROUPS> is an optional arrayref that can contain 'tags' to return all the
776 tags and/or 'heads' to return all the heads. C<REFGLOB> is an optional array
777 of strings containing a shell-like glob to further limit the refs returned in
778 the hash; the meaning is again the same as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
781 This function may or may not be called on a repository instance. In the former
782 case, remote names as defined in the repository are recognized as repository

820 =item ident ( TYPE | IDENTSTR )
822 =item ident_person ( TYPE | IDENTSTR | IDENTARRAY )
824 This suite of functions retrieves and parses ident information, as stored
825 in the commit and tag objects or produced by C<var GIT_type_IDENT> (thus
826 C<TYPE> can be either I<author> or I<committer>; case is insignificant).
828 The C<ident> method retrieves the ident information from C<git var>
829 and either returns it as a scalar string or as an array with the fields parsed.
830 Alternatively, it can take a prepared ident string (e.g. from the commit
831 object) and just parse it.
833 C<ident_person> returns the person part of the ident - name and email;
834 it can take the same arguments as C<ident> or the array returned by C<ident>.
836 The synopsis is like:

1180 =item credential( CREDENTIAL_HASHREF, CODE )
1182 Executes C<git credential> for a given set of credentials and specified
1183 operation. In both forms C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> needs to be a reference to
1184 a hash which stores credentials. Under certain conditions the hash can
1187 In the first form, C<OPERATION> can be C<'fill'>, C<'approve'> or C<'reject'>,
1188 and function will execute corresponding C<git credential> sub-command. If
1189 it's omitted C<'fill'> is assumed. In case of C<'fill'> the values stored in
1190 C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> will be changed to the ones returned by the C<git
1191 credential fill> command. The usual usage would look something like:
1194 'protocol' => 'https',
1195 'host' => 'example.com',
1198 Git::credential \%cred;
1199 if (try_to_authenticate($cred{'username'}, $cred{'password'})) {
1200 Git::credential \%cred, 'approve';
1201 ... do more stuff ...
1203 Git::credential \%cred, 'reject';
1206 In the second form, C<CODE> needs to be a reference to a subroutine. The
1207 function will execute C<git credential fill> to fill the provided credential
1208 hash, then call C<CODE> with C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> as the sole argument. If
1209 C<CODE>'s return value is defined, the function will execute C<git credential
1210 approve> (if return value yields true) or C<git credential reject> (if return
1211 value is false). If the return value is undef, nothing at all is executed;
1212 this is useful, for example, if the credential could neither be verified nor
1213 rejected due to an unrelated network error. The return value is the same as
1214 what C<CODE> returns. With this form, the usage might look as follows:
1216 if (Git::credential {
1217 'protocol' => 'https',
1218 'host' => 'example.com',
1222 return !!try_to_authenticate($cred->{'username'},

1249 =item temp_acquire ( NAME )
1251 Attempts to retrieve the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
1252 associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
1253 created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
1255 Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
1256 C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
1257 to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
1258 cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
1259 threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
1260 writing over one another.
1262 In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
1263 it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
1264 file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty

1279 Returns true if the internal lock created by a previous C<temp_acquire()>
1280 call with C<NAME> is still in effect.
1282 When temp_acquire is called on a C<NAME>, it internally locks the temporary
1283 file mapped to C<NAME>. That lock will not be released until C<temp_release()>
1284 is called with either the original C<NAME> or the L<File::Handle> that was
1285 returned from the original call to temp_acquire.
1287 Subsequent attempts to call C<temp_acquire()> with the same C<NAME> will fail
1288 unless there has been an intervening C<temp_release()> call for that C<NAME>
1289 (or its corresponding L<File::Handle> that was returned by the original
1290 C<temp_acquire()> call).
1292 If true is returned by C<temp_is_locked()> for a C<NAME>, an attempt to
1293 C<temp_acquire()> the same C<NAME> will cause an error unless
1294 C<temp_release> is first called on that C<NAME> (or its corresponding
1295 L<File::Handle> that was returned by the original C<temp_acquire()> call).

1314 Warns if an attempt is made to release a file that is not locked.
1316 The temp file will be truncated before being released. This can help to reduce
1317 disk I/O where the system is smart enough to detect the truncation while data
1318 is in the output buffers. Beware that after the temp file is released and
1319 truncated, any operations on that file may fail miserably until it is

1426 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
1428 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1429 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1430 L<Error::Simple> instances.
1432 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1433 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1434 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1435 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1436 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1437 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1438 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1439 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1440 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1442 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1443 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1444 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1445 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.
