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

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

305 of the command's standard output.

362 =item command_close_pipe ( PIPE [, CTX ] )
364 Close the C<PIPE> as returned from C<command_*_pipe()>, checking
365 whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX> argument
366 is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
367 and it is the second value returned by C<command_*_pipe()> when
368 called in array context. The call idiom is:
370 my ($fh, $ctx) = $r->command_output_pipe('status');
371 while (<$fh>) { ... }
372 $r->command_close_pipe($fh, $ctx);
374 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;

376 have more complicated structure.

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

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

538 and the directory must exist.

558 Retrieve the configuration C<VARIABLE> in the same manner as C<config>
559 does. In scalar context requires the variable to be set only one time
560 (exception is thrown otherwise), in array context returns allows the
561 variable to be set multiple times and returns all the values.

623 is simple decimal number. An optional value suffix of 'k', 'm',
624 or 'g' in the config file will cause the value to be multiplied
625 by 1024, 1048576 (1024^2), or 1073741824 (1024^3) prior to output.

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

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

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

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

1098 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
1100 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1101 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1102 L<Error::Simple> instances.
1104 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1105 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1106 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1107 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1108 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1109 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1110 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1111 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1112 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1114 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1115 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1116 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1117 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.

1169 This magical statement will automatically catch any C<Git::Error::Command>
1170 exceptions thrown by C<CODE> and make your program die with C<ERRMSG>
1171 on its lips; the message will have %s substituted for the command line
1172 and %d for the exit status. This statement is useful mostly for producing
1173 more user-friendly error messages.
1175 In case of no exception caught the statement returns C<CODE>'s return value.
