66 =head1 DESCRIPTION
68 This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
69 system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
70 commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
71 for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
72 the generic command interface.
74 While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
75 or 'init'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
76 means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
77 (In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
78 called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
79 repository.
81 Part of the "repository state" is also information about path to the attached
82 working copy (unless you work with a bare repository). You can also navigate
83 inside of the working copy using the C<wc_chdir()> method. (Note that
84 the repository object is self-contained and will not change working directory
85 of your process.)
87 TODO: In the future, we might also do
89 my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
90 $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
91 my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
93 Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
94 it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
95 to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
96 increase notwithstanding).

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

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

334 does but return a pipe filehandle from which the command output can be
335 read.
337 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.

353 is not captured.

368 whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX> argument
369 is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
370 and it is the second value returned by C<command_*_pipe()> when
371 called in array context. The call idiom is:
373 my ($fh, $ctx) = $r->command_output_pipe('status');
374 while (<$fh>) { ... }
375 $r->command_close_pipe($fh, $ctx);
377 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
378 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
379 have more complicated structure.

389 =item command_bidi_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
391 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
392 does but return both an input pipe filehandle and an output pipe filehandle.
394 The function will return return C<($pid, $pipe_in, $pipe_out, $ctx)>.

416 Close the C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> as returned from C<command_bidi_pipe()>,
417 checking whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX>
418 argument is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
419 and it is the fourth value returned by C<command_bidi_pipe()>. The call idiom
422 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');

454 =item command_noisy ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
456 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command() does but do not
457 capture the command output - the standard output is not redirected and goes
458 to the standard output of the caller application.
460 While the method is called command_noisy(), you might want to as well use
461 it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your
462 stdout but you want to avoid the overhead of the pipe setup when calling them.

762 =item remote_refs ( REPOSITORY [, GROUPS [, REFGLOBS ] ] )
764 This function returns a hashref of refs stored in a given remote repository.
765 The hash is in the format C<refname =\> hash>. For tags, the C<refname> entry
766 contains the tag object while a C<refname^{}> entry gives the tagged objects.
768 C<REPOSITORY> has the same meaning as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
769 argument; either a URL or a remote name (if called on a repository instance).
770 C<GROUPS> is an optional arrayref that can contain 'tags' to return all the
771 tags and/or 'heads' to return all the heads. C<REFGLOB> is an optional array
772 of strings containing a shell-like glob to further limit the refs returned in
773 the hash; the meaning is again the same as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
774 argument.
776 This function may or may not be called on a repository instance. In the former
777 case, remote names as defined in the repository are recognized as repository
778 specifiers.

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

1029 Attempts to retreive the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
1030 associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
1031 created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
1033 Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
1034 C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
1035 to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
1036 cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
1037 threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
1038 writing over one another.
1040 In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
1041 it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
1042 file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty
1043 directly. If a handle is closed and then requested again, then a warning will
1044 issue.

1061 referencing a locked temp file.
1063 Warns if an attempt is made to release a file that is not locked.
1065 The temp file will be truncated before being released. This can help to reduce
1066 disk I/O where the system is smart enough to detect the truncation while data
1067 is in the output buffers. Beware that after the temp file is released and
1068 truncated, any operations on that file may fail miserably until it is
1069 re-acquired. All contents are lost between each release and acquire mapped to
1070 the same string.

1172 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
1174 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1175 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1176 L<Error::Simple> instances.
1178 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1179 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1180 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1181 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1182 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1183 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1184 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1185 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1186 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1188 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1189 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1190 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1191 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.
