node-git-tools
Tools for parsing data out of git repositories.
Support this project by donating on Gittip.
About
The goal of node-git-tools is to provide a set of tools that can be used to easily write custom git commands or other scripts that are tightly integrated with git.
I expect the API to grow over time and will happily entertain any feature requests. If there is anything you'd like added, just file an issue.
Installation
npm install git-tools
Usage
var Repo = ;var repo = "path/to/repo" ;repo;
API
Repo.clone( options, callback )
Clones a repository and returns the new Repo
instance.
options
(Object): Options for cloning the repository.repo
(String): The repository to clone from.path
(String): The path to clone into.- extra: Additional options can be provided, as documented below.
callback
(Function;function( error, repo )
): Function to invoke after cloning the repository.repo
(Object): A newRepo
instance for the cloned repository.
This function accepts arbitrary options to pass to git clone
.
For example, to create a bare repository:
Repo;
Or to create a repo with limited history:
Repo;
Repo.isRepo( path, callback )
Determines if the specified path is a git repository.
path
(String): The path to check.callback
(Function;function( error, isRepo )
): Function to invoke after determining if the path is a git repository.isRepo

Note: This is equivalent to creating a Repo
instance with path
and calling isRepo()
on the instance.

Each blame item contains the following properties:
commit
: SHA of commit that most recently modified the line.boundary
: Boolean indicating whether the commit is a boundary for the range.path
: Path to the file at the time of the most recent modification to the line.lineNumber
: Line number within the file.content
: Contents of the line.
branches( callback )
Gets all branches in order of most recent commit.
callback
(Function;function( error, branches )
): Function to invoke after getting branches.branches
(Array): All branches, sorted by most recent commit date.
Each branch object contains the following properties:
name
(String): Branch name.sha
(String): SHA-1 of most recent commit.date
(Date): Author date of most recent commit.subject
(String): Subject (first line) of most recent commit.author
(Object): Author of most recent commit.email
(String): Author's email address.name
(String): Author's name.
config( name, callback )
Gets the value of a configuration option.

): Function to invoke after getting the configuration option.value
(String|null): The value for the configuration option, ornull
if no value is set.
currentBranch( callback )
Gets the name of the currently checked out branch, if any.
callback
(Function;function( error, branch )
): Function to invoke after getting the branch.branch
(String|null): Branch name, ornull
if in detached HEAD state.
describe( [options], callback )
Describes a committish.
options
(Object): Options for describing the committish.committish
(String): The committish to describe. Defaults to currently checked-out commit.- extra: Additional options can be provided, as documented below.
callback
(Function;function( error, description )
): Function to invoke after getting the description.description
(String): Description of the committish.
This function accepts arbitrary options to pass to git describe
.
For example, to get the long description:
Repo;
isRepo( callback )
Determines if the specified path is a git repository.
callback
(Function;function( error, isRepo )
): Function to invoke after determining if the path is a git repository.isRepo
(Boolean): Whether the path is a git repository.
remotes( callback )
