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

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

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

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

357 _command_common_pipe('|-', @_);
361 =item command_close_pipe ( PIPE [, CTX ] )
363 Close the C<PIPE> as returned from C<command_*_pipe()>, checking
364 whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX> argument
365 is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
366 and it is the second value returned by C<command_*_pipe()> when
367 called in array context. The call idiom is:
369 my ($fh, $ctx) = $r->command_output_pipe('status');
370 while (<$fh>) { ... }
371 $r->command_close_pipe($fh, $ctx);
373 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
374 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
375 have more complicated structure.

387 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
388 does but return both an input pipe filehandle and an output pipe filehandle.
390 The function will return return C<($pid, $pipe_in, $pipe_out, $ctx)>.
391 See C<command_close_bidi_pipe()> for details.

396 my ($pid, $in, $out);

403 Close the C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> as returned from C<command_bidi_pipe()>,
404 checking whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX>
405 argument is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
406 and it is the fourth value returned by C<command_bidi_pipe()>. The call idiom

441 =item command_noisy ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
443 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command() does but do not
444 capture the command output - the standard output is not redirected and goes
445 to the standard output of the caller application.
447 While the method is called command_noisy(), you might want to as well use
448 it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your
449 stdout but you want to avoid the overhead of the pipe setup when calling them.
451 The function returns only after the command has finished running.

527 and the directory must exist.

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

611 Retrieve the integer configuration C<VARIABLE>. The return value
612 is simple decimal number. An optional value suffix of 'k', 'm',
613 or 'g' in the config file will cause the value to be multiplied
614 by 1024, 1048576 (1024^2), or 1073741824 (1024^3) prior to output.

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

727 =item ident ( TYPE | IDENTSTR )
729 =item ident_person ( TYPE | IDENTSTR | IDENTARRAY )
731 This suite of functions retrieves and parses ident information, as stored
732 in the commit and tag objects or produced by C<var GIT_type_IDENT> (thus
733 C<TYPE> can be either I<author> or I<committer>; case is insignificant).
735 The C<ident> method retrieves the ident information from C<git var>
736 and either returns it as a scalar string or as an array with the fields parsed.
737 Alternatively, it can take a prepared ident string (e.g. from the commit
738 object) and just parse it.
740 C<ident_person> returns the person part of the ident - name and email;
741 it can take the same arguments as C<ident> or the array returned by C<ident>.
743 The synopsis is like:
745 my ($name, $email, $time_tz) = ident('author');
746 "$name <$email>" eq ident_person('author');
747 "$name <$email>" eq ident_person($name);

944 Attempts to retreive the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
945 associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
946 created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
948 Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
949 C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
950 to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
951 cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
952 threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
953 writing over one another.
955 In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
956 it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
957 file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty
958 directly. If a handle is closed and then requested again, then a warning will

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

1087 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
1089 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1090 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1091 L<Error::Simple> instances.
1093 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1094 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1095 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1096 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1097 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1098 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1099 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1100 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1101 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1103 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1104 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1105 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1106 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.

1158 This magical statement will automatically catch any C<Git::Error::Command>
1159 exceptions thrown by C<CODE> and make your program die with C<ERRMSG>
1160 on its lips; the message will have %s substituted for the command line
1161 and %d for the exit status. This statement is useful mostly for producing
1162 more user-friendly error messages.
1164 In case of no exception caught the statement returns C<CODE>'s return value.
