57 =head1 DESCRIPTION
59 This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
60 system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
61 commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
62 for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
63 the generic command interface.
65 While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
66 or 'init-db'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
67 means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
68 (In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
69 called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
70 repository.
72 Part of the "repository state" is also information about path to the attached
73 working copy (unless you work with a bare repository). You can also navigate
74 inside of the working copy using the C<wc_chdir()> method. (Note that
75 the repository object is self-contained and will not change working directory
76 of your process.)
78 TODO: In the future, we might also do
80 my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
81 $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
82 my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
84 Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
85 it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
86 to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
87 increate nonwithstanding).

104 =head1 CONSTRUCTORS
106 =over 4
108 =item repository ( OPTIONS )
110 =item repository ( DIRECTORY )
112 =item repository ()
114 Construct a new repository object.
115 C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs.
116 Possible options are:
118 B<Repository> - Path to the Git repository.
120 B<WorkingCopy> - Path to the associated working copy; not strictly required
121 as many commands will happily crunch on a bare repository.
123 B<WorkingSubdir> - Subdirectory in the working copy to work inside.
124 Just left undefined if you do not want to limit the scope of operations.
126 B<Directory> - Path to the Git working directory in its usual setup.
127 The C<.git> directory is searched in the directory and all the parent
128 directories; if found, C<WorkingCopy> is set to the directory containing
129 it and C<Repository> to the C<.git> directory itself. If no C<.git>
130 directory was found, the C<Directory> is assumed to be a bare repository,
131 C<Repository> is set to point at it and C<WorkingCopy> is left undefined.
132 If the C<$GIT_DIR> environment variable is set, things behave as expected
133 as well.
135 You should not use both C<Directory> and either of C<Repository> and
136 C<WorkingCopy> - the results of that are undefined.
138 Alternatively, a directory path may be passed as a single scalar argument
139 to the constructor; it is equivalent to setting only the C<Directory> option
140 field.
142 Calling the constructor with no options whatsoever is equivalent to
143 calling it with C<< Directory => '.' >>. In general, if you are building
144 a standard porcelain command, simply doing C<< Git->repository() >> should
145 do the right thing and setup the object to reflect exactly where the user
146 is right now.

227 =head1 METHODS
229 =over 4
231 =item command ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
233 =item command ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
235 Execute the given Git C<COMMAND> (specify it without the 'git-'
236 prefix), optionally with the specified extra C<ARGUMENTS>.
238 The second more elaborate form can be used if you want to further adjust
239 the command execution. Currently, only one option is supported:
241 B<STDERR> - How to deal with the command's error output. By default (C<undef>)
242 it is delivered to the caller's C<STDERR>. A false value (0 or '') will cause
243 it to be thrown away. If you want to process it, you can get it in a filehandle
244 you specify, but you must be extremely careful; if the error output is not
245 very short and you want to read it in the same process as where you called
246 C<command()>, you are set up for a nice deadlock!
248 The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository
249 (in that case the command will be run in the repository context).
251 In scalar context, it returns all the command output in a single string
252 (verbatim).
254 In array context, it returns an array containing lines printed to the
255 command's stdout (without trailing newlines).
257 In both cases, the command's stdin and stderr are the same as the caller's.

296 =item command_oneline ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
298 =item command_oneline ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )

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

327 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command()
328 does but return a pipe filehandle from which the command output can be
329 read.
331 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.
332 See C<command_close_pipe()> for details.

341 =item command_input_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
343 =item command_input_pipe ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
345 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
346 does but return an input pipe filehandle instead; the command output
347 is not captured.
349 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.

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

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

414 =item version ()
416 Return the Git version in use.
418 Implementation of this function is very fast; no external command calls
419 are involved.
421 =cut
423 # Implemented in Git.xs.
426 =item exec_path ()
428 Return path to the Git sub-command executables (the same as
429 C<git --exec-path>). Useful mostly only internally.

432 are involved.

462 =cut
464 sub wc_subdir { $_[0]->{opts}->{WorkingSubdir} ||= '' }
467 =item wc_chdir ( SUBDIR )
469 Change the working copy subdirectory to work within. The C<SUBDIR> is
470 relative to the working copy root directory (not the current subdirectory).
471 Must be called on a repository instance attached to a working copy
472 and the directory must exist.

484 # can delete it now and we will never know. But at least we tried.
486 $self->{opts}->{WorkingSubdir} = $subdir;
490 =item config ( VARIABLE )
492 Retrieve the configuration C<VARIABLE> in the same manner as C<repo-config>
493 does. In scalar context requires the variable to be set only one time
494 (exception is thrown otherwise), in array context returns allows the
495 variable to be set multiple times and returns all the values.
497 Must be called on a repository instance.
499 This currently wraps command('repo-config') so it is not so fast.

518 return undef;
519 } else {
520 throw $E;
526 =item ident ( TYPE | IDENTSTR )
528 =item ident_person ( TYPE | IDENTSTR | IDENTARRAY )
530 This suite of functions retrieves and parses ident information, as stored
531 in the commit and tag objects or produced by C<var GIT_type_IDENT> (thus
532 C<TYPE> can be either I<author> or I<committer>; case is insignificant).
534 The C<ident> method retrieves the ident information from C<git-var>
535 and either returns it as a scalar string or as an array with the fields parsed.
536 Alternatively, it can take a prepared ident string (e.g. from the commit
537 object) and just parse it.
539 C<ident_person> returns the person part of the ident - name and email;
540 it can take the same arguments as C<ident> or the array returned by C<ident>.
542 The synopsis is like:
544 my ($name, $email, $time_tz) = ident('author');
545 "$name <$email>" eq ident_person('author');
546 "$name <$email>" eq ident_person($name);
547 $time_tz =~ /^\d+ [+-]\d{4}$/;
549 Both methods must be called on a repository instance.

562 return $identstr =~ /^(.*) <(.*)> (\d+ [+-]\d{4})$/;
563 } else {
564 return $identstr;

569 my ($self, @ident) = @_;
570 $#ident == 0 and @ident = $self->ident($ident[0]);
571 return "$ident[0] <$ident[1]>";
575 =item get_object ( TYPE, SHA1 )
577 Return contents of the given object in a scalar string. If the object has
578 not been found, undef is returned; however, do not rely on this! Currently,
579 if you use multiple repositories at once, get_object() on one repository
580 _might_ return the object even though it exists only in another repository.
581 (But do not rely on this behaviour either.)
583 The method must be called on a repository instance.
585 Implementation of this method is very fast; no external command calls
586 are involved. That's why it is broken, too. ;-)
588 =cut
590 # Implemented in Git.xs.
593 =item hash_object ( TYPE, FILENAME )
595 =item hash_object ( TYPE, FILEHANDLE )
597 Compute the SHA1 object id of the given C<FILENAME> (or data waiting in
598 C<FILEHANDLE>) considering it is of the C<TYPE> object type (C<blob>,
599 C<commit>, C<tree>).
601 In case of C<FILEHANDLE> passed instead of file name, all the data
602 available are read and hashed, and the filehandle is automatically
603 closed. The file handle should be freshly opened - if you have already
604 read anything from the file handle, the results are undefined (since
605 this function works directly with the file descriptor and internal
606 PerlIO buffering might have messed things up).
608 The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository,
609 it makes zero difference.
611 The function returns the SHA1 hash.
613 Implementation of this function is very fast; no external command calls
614 are involved.

636 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
638 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
639 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
640 L<Error::Simple> instances.
642 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
643 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
644 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
645 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
646 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
647 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
648 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
649 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
650 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
652 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
653 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
654 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
655 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.

709 on its lips; the message will have %s substituted for the command line
710 and %d for the exit status. This statement is useful mostly for producing
711 more user-friendly error messages.
