git-kitchen-sink

Incorporate Git into your Electron application

This is a skunkworks project to make using Git in your Electron application.

To get started: npm install git-kitchen-sink --save

And then reference it in your application:

import { GitProcess, GitError, IGitResult } from 'git-kitchen-sink'
 
const pathToRepository = 'C:/path/to/git/repository/'
 
const result = await GitProcess.exec([ 'status' ], pathToRepository)
if (result.exitCode === 0) {
  const version = result.stdout
  // TODO: do some things with version
} else {
  const error = result.stderr
  // TODO: error handling
}

Current features:

• package Git within your application
• make it easy to execute Git commands
• macOS and Window support

Potential Roadmap:

• an API for common Git operations
• Linux support
• handle authentication and environment setup
• ???
