Once you have -created a repository object, you can traverse it to find parent commit(s), -trees, blobs, etc. - -Initialize a Repo object -************************ - -The first step is to create a ``Repo`` object to represent your repository. - - >>> from git import * - >>> repo = Repo("/Users/mtrier/Development/git-python") - -In the above example, the directory ``/Users/mtrier/Development/git-python`` -is my working repository and contains the ``.git`` directory. You can also -initialize GitPython with a bare repository. - - >>> repo = Repo.create("/var/git/git-python.git") - -Getting a list of commits -************************* - -From the ``Repo`` object, you can get a list of ``Commit`` -objects. - - >>> repo.commits() - [, - , - , - ] - -Called without arguments, ``Repo.commits`` returns a list of up to ten commits -reachable by the master branch (starting at the latest commit). You can ask -for commits beginning at a different branch, commit, tag, etc. - - >>> repo.commits('mybranch') - >>> repo.commits('40d3057d09a7a4d61059bca9dca5ae698de58cbe') - >>> repo.commits('v0.1') - -You can specify the maximum number of commits to return. - - >>> repo.commits('master', 100) - -If you need paging, you can specify a number of commits to skip. - - >>> repo.commits('master', 10, 20) - -The above will return commits 21-30 from the commit list. - -The Commit object -***************** - -Commit objects contain information about a specific commit. - - >>> head = repo.commits()[0] - - >>> head.id - '207c0c4418115df0d30820ab1a9acd2ea4bf4431' - - >>> head.parents - [] - - >>> head.tree - - - >>> head.author - "> - - >>> head.authored_date - (2008, 5, 7, 5, 0, 56, 2, 128, 0) - - >>> head.committer - "> - - >>> head.committed_date - (2008, 5, 7, 5, 0, 56, 2, 128, 0) - - >>> head.message - 'cleaned up a lot of test information. Fixed escaping so it works with - subprocess.' - -Note: date time is represented in a `struct_time`_ format. Conversion to -human readable form can be accomplished with the various time module methods. - - >>> import time - >>> time.asctime(head.committed_date) - 'Wed May 7 05:56:02 2008' - - >>> time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M", head.committed_date) - 'Wed, 7 May 2008 05:56' - -.. _struct_time: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html - -You can traverse a commit's ancestry by chaining calls to ``parents``. - - >>> repo.commits()[0].parents[0].parents[0].parents[0] - -The above corresponds to ``master^^^`` or ``master~3`` in git parlance. - -The Tree object -*************** - -A tree records pointers to the contents of a directory. Let's say you want -the root tree of the latest commit on the master branch. - - >>> tree = repo.commits()[0].tree - - - >>> tree.id - 'a006b5b1a8115185a228b7514cdcd46fed90dc92' - -Once you have a tree, you can get the contents. - - >>> contents = tree.contents - [, - , - , - ] - -This tree contains three ``Blob`` objects and one ``Tree`` object. The trees -are subdirectories and the blobs are files. Trees below the root have -additional attributes. - - >>> contents = tree.contents[-2] - - - >>> contents.name - 'test' - - >>> contents.mode - '040000' - -There is a convenience method that allows you to get a named sub-object -from a tree. - - >>> tree/"lib" - - -You can also get a tree directly from the repository if you know its name. - - >>> repo.tree() - - - >>> repo.tree("c1c7214dde86f76bc3e18806ac1f47c38b2b7a30") - - -The Blob object -*************** - -A blob represents a file. Trees often contain blobs. - - >>> blob = tree.contents[-1] - - -A blob has certain attributes. - - >>> blob.name - 'urls.py' - - >>> blob.mode - '100644' - - >>> blob.mime_type - 'text/x-python' - - >>> blob.size - 415 - -You can get the data of a blob as a string. - - >>> blob.data - "from django.conf.urls.defaults import *\nfrom django.conf..." - -You can also get a blob directly from the repo if you know its name. - - >>> repo.blob("b19574431a073333ea09346eafd64e7b1908ef49") - - -What Else? -********** - -There is more stuff in there, like the ability to tar or gzip repos, stats, -log, blame, and probably a few other things. Additionally calls to the git -instance are handled through a ``method_missing`` construct, which makes -available any git commands directly, with a nice conversion of Python dicts -to command line parameters. - -Check the unit tests, they're pretty exhaustive. - LICENSE ======= -- cgit v1.2.3
