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

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

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

308 does but always return a scalar string containing the first line

334 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command()
335 does but return a pipe filehandle from which the command output can be
336 read.
338 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.

352 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
353 does but return an input pipe filehandle instead; the command output
354 is not captured.
356 The function can return C<($pipe, $ctx)> in array context.

359 =cut
361 sub command_input_pipe {

366 =item command_close_pipe ( PIPE [, CTX ] )
368 Close the C<PIPE> as returned from C<command_*_pipe()>, checking
369 whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX> argument
370 is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
371 and it is the second value returned by C<command_*_pipe()> when
372 called in array context. The call idiom is:
374 my ($fh, $ctx) = $r->command_output_pipe('status');
375 while (<$fh>) { ... }
376 $r->command_close_pipe($fh, $ctx);
378 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
379 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
380 have more complicated structure.

390 =item command_bidi_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
392 Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command_output_pipe()
393 does but return both an input pipe filehandle and an output pipe filehandle.
395 The function will return return C<($pid, $pipe_in, $pipe_out, $ctx)>.
396 See C<command_close_bidi_pipe()> for details.

412 return ($pid, $in, $out, join(' ', @_));
415 =item command_close_bidi_pipe ( PID, PIPE_IN, PIPE_OUT [, CTX] )
417 Close the C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> as returned from C<command_bidi_pipe()>,
418 checking whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX>
419 argument is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
420 and it is the fourth value returned by C<command_bidi_pipe()>. The call idiom
423 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');
424 print $out "000000000\n";
425 while (<$in>) { ... }
426 $r->command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, $out, $ctx);
428 Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
429 currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
430 have more complicated structure.
432 C<PIPE_IN> and C<PIPE_OUT> may be C<undef> if they have been closed prior to
433 calling this function. This may be useful in a query-response type of
434 commands where caller first writes a query and later reads response, eg:
436 my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $r->command_bidi_pipe('cat-file --batch-check');
437 print $out "000000000\n";
438 close $out;
439 while (<$in>) { ... }
440 $r->command_close_bidi_pipe($pid, $in, undef, $ctx);
442 This idiom may prevent potential dead locks caused by data sent to the output
443 pipe not being flushed and thus not reaching the executed command.

452 if ($? >> 8) {

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

524 the number of hours from GMT and MM is the number of minutes. This is

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

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

1112 =item credential( CREDENTIAL_HASHREF, CODE )
1114 Executes C<git credential> for a given set of credentials and specified
1115 operation. In both forms C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> needs to be a reference to
1116 a hash which stores credentials. Under certain conditions the hash can
1117 change.
1119 In the first form, C<OPERATION> can be C<'fill'>, C<'approve'> or C<'reject'>,
1120 and function will execute corresponding C<git credential> sub-command. If
1121 it's omitted C<'fill'> is assumed. In case of C<'fill'> the values stored in
1122 C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> will be changed to the ones returned by the C<git
1123 credential fill> command. The usual usage would look something like:
1125 my %cred = (
1126 'protocol' => 'https',
1127 'host' => 'example.com',
1128 'username' => 'bob'
1130 Git::credential \%cred;
1131 if (try_to_authenticate($cred{'username'}, $cred{'password'})) {
1132 Git::credential \%cred, 'approve';
1133 ... do more stuff ...
1134 } else {
1135 Git::credential \%cred, 'reject';
1138 In the second form, C<CODE> needs to be a reference to a subroutine. The
1139 function will execute C<git credential fill> to fill the provided credential
1140 hash, then call C<CODE> with C<CREDENTIAL_HASHREF> as the sole argument. If
1141 C<CODE>'s return value is defined, the function will execute C<git credential
1142 approve> (if return value yields true) or C<git credential reject> (if return
1143 value is false). If the return value is undef, nothing at all is executed;
1144 this is useful, for example, if the credential could neither be verified nor
1145 rejected due to an unrelated network error. The return value is the same as
1146 what C<CODE> returns. With this form, the usage might look as follows:
1148 if (Git::credential {
1149 'protocol' => 'https',
1150 'host' => 'example.com',
1151 'username' => 'bob'
1152 }, sub {

1183 Attempts to retreive the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
1184 associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
1185 created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
1187 Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
1188 C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
1189 to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
1190 cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
1191 threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
1192 writing over one another.
1194 In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
1195 it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
1196 file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty
1197 directly. If a handle is closed and then requested again, then a warning will
1198 issue.

1215 referencing a locked temp file.
1217 Warns if an attempt is made to release a file that is not locked.
1219 The temp file will be truncated before being released. This can help to reduce
1220 disk I/O where the system is smart enough to detect the truncation while data
1221 is in the output buffers. Beware that after the temp file is released and
1222 truncated, any operations on that file may fail miserably until it is
1223 re-acquired. All contents are lost between each release and acquire mapped to
1224 the same string.

1326 =head1 ERROR HANDLING
1328 All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1329 See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1330 L<Error::Simple> instances.
1332 However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1333 functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1334 thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1335 code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1336 provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1337 in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1338 string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1339 call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1340 returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1342 Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1343 it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1344 at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1345 use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.
