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

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

307 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command()
308 does but always return a scalar string containing the first line
309 of the command's standard output.

334 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command()
335 does but return a pipe filehandle from which the command output can be
338 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.
339 See C<command_close_pipe()> for details.

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

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

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

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

647 Retrieve the configuration C<VARIABLE> in the same manner as C<config>
648 does. In scalar context requires the variable to be set only one time
649 (exception is thrown otherwise), in array context returns allows the
650 variable to be set multiple times and returns all the values.
655 return _config_common({}, @_);

661 Retrieve the bool configuration C<VARIABLE>. The return value
662 is usable as a boolean in perl (and C<undef> if it's not defined,

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

768 This function returns a hashref of refs stored in a given remote repository.
769 The hash is in the format C<refname =\> hash>. For tags, the C<refname> entry
770 contains the tag object while a C<refname^{}> entry gives the tagged objects.
772 C<REPOSITORY> has the same meaning as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
773 argument; either a URL or a remote name (if called on a repository instance).
774 C<GROUPS> is an optional arrayref that can contain 'tags' to return all the
775 tags and/or 'heads' to return all the heads. C<REFGLOB> is an optional array
776 of strings containing a shell-like glob to further limit the refs returned in
777 the hash; the meaning is again the same as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>

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

1179 =item credential( CREDENTIAL_HASHREF, CODE )
1181 Executes C<git credential> for a given set of credentials and specified
1182 operation. In both forms C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> needs to be a reference to
1183 a hash which stores credentials. Under certain conditions the hash can
1186 In the first form, C<OPERATION> can be C<'fill'>, C<'approve'> or C<'reject'>,
1187 and function will execute corresponding C<git credential> sub-command. If
1188 it's omitted C<'fill'> is assumed. In case of C<'fill'> the values stored in
1189 C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> will be changed to the ones returned by the C<git
1190 credential fill> command. The usual usage would look something like:
1193 'protocol' => 'https',
1194 'host' => 'example.com',
1197 Git::credential \%cred;
1198 if (try_to_authenticate($cred{'username'}, $cred{'password'})) {
1199 Git::credential \%cred, 'approve';
1200 ... do more stuff ...
1202 Git::credential \%cred, 'reject';
1205 In the second form, C<CODE> needs to be a reference to a subroutine. The
1206 function will execute C<git credential fill> to fill the provided credential
1207 hash, then call C<CODE> with C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> as the sole argument. If
1208 C<CODE>'s return value is defined, the function will execute C<git credential
1209 approve> (if return value yields true) or C<git credential reject> (if return
1210 value is false). If the return value is undef, nothing at all is executed;
1211 this is useful, for example, if the credential could neither be verified nor
1212 rejected due to an unrelated network error. The return value is the same as
1213 what C<CODE> returns. With this form, the usage might look as follows:
1215 if (Git::credential {
1216 'protocol' => 'https',
1217 'host' => 'example.com',
1221 return !!try_to_authenticate($cred->{'username'},

1250 Attempts to retrieve the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
1251 associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
1252 created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
1254 Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
1255 C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
1256 to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
1257 cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
1258 threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
1259 writing over one another.
1261 In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
1262 it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
1263 file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty

1278 Returns true if the internal lock created by a previous C<temp_acquire()>
1279 call with C<NAME> is still in effect.
1281 When temp_acquire is called on a C<NAME>, it internally locks the temporary
1282 file mapped to C<NAME>. That lock will not be released until C<temp_release()>
1283 is called with either the original C<NAME> or the L<File::Handle> that was
1284 returned from the original call to temp_acquire.
1286 Subsequent attempts to call C<temp_acquire()> with the same C<NAME> will fail
1287 unless there has been an intervening C<temp_release()> call for that C<NAME>
1288 (or its corresponding L<File::Handle> that was returned by the original
1289 C<temp_acquire()> call).
1291 If true is returned by C<temp_is_locked()> for a C<NAME>, an attempt to
1292 C<temp_acquire()> the same C<NAME> will cause an error unless
1293 C<temp_release> is first called on that C<NAME> (or its corresponding
1294 L<File::Handle> that was returned by the original C<temp_acquire()> call).

1313 Warns if an attempt is made to release a file that is not locked.
1315 The temp file will be truncated before being released. This can help to reduce
1316 disk I/O where the system is smart enough to detect the truncation while data
1317 is in the output buffers. Beware that after the temp file is released and
1318 truncated, any operations on that file may fail miserably until it is

1425 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
1427 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1428 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1429 L<Error::Simple> instances.
1431 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1432 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1433 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1434 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1435 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1436 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1437 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1438 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1439 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1441 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1442 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1443 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1444 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.
