Functions

func Archive 

func Archive(dir, ref, prefix string, w io.Writer) error

Archive streams a tar.gz of ref to w.

func AuthorIdent 

func AuthorIdent(dir, sha string) (name, email, date string, err error)

AuthorIdent returns a commit's author name, email, and ISO date.

func CommitFileChange 

func CommitFileChange(dir, branch, path string, content []byte, name, email, message string) (string, error)

CommitFileChange writes content at path on branch as a new commit and advances the branch with compare-and-swap. Used by web edits; hooks do not run, so callers enforce policy themselves.

func CommitMessage 

func CommitMessage(dir, sha string) (string, error)

CommitMessage returns a commit's full message.

func CommitParents 

func CommitParents(dir, sha string) ([]string, error)

CommitParents returns the parent SHAs of a commit.

func CommitTree 

func CommitTree(dir, tree string, parents []string, name, email, message string) (string, error)

CommitTree creates a merge commit with the given parents, authored and committed by the merging user. There is no server signing key by design.

func CommitTreeIdent 

func CommitTreeIdent(dir, tree string, parents []string,
	authorName, authorEmail, authorDate, committerName, committerEmail, message string) (string, error)

CommitTreeIdent creates a commit with distinct author and committer identities. Empty authorDate means now.

func CountCommits added in v1.0.0 

func CountCommits(dir, ref string) int

CountCommits returns the number of commits reachable from ref, or 0 when the ref does not resolve (an empty repository).

func DeleteRef 

func DeleteRef(dir, ref string) error

func Diff 

func Diff(dir, old, new string, limit int64) (string, error)

Diff returns the patch for old..new (three-dot semantics are the caller's job: pass the merge base as old).

func DiffFiles added in v0.2.0 

func DiffFiles(dir, old, new string) ([]string, error)

DiffFiles lists the paths changed between old and new.

func FetchInto 

func FetchInto(dstDir, srcDir, srcRef, dstRef string) error

FetchInto copies srcRef from srcDir into dstDir as dstRef, forcing the update. Objects are copied, not shared — the destination owns everything afterward, which is what keeps MRs alive when their fork is deleted.

func FetchMirror 

func FetchMirror(ctx context.Context, dir, url string, errW io.Writer, extraEnv []string) error

FetchMirror pulls all branches, tags, and notes from a foreign URL into the bare repository at dir, forcing updates. Progress streams to errW so an interactive caller can watch. extraEnv carries credentials via GIT_ASKPASS; the URL itself must never contain them.

func HasCommit added in v0.2.0 

func HasCommit(dir, sha string) bool

HasCommit reports whether sha names a commit object present in dir.

func InitBare 

func InitBare(path, defaultBranch, hooksPath string) error

InitBare creates a bare repository with the shared hooks directory wired via core.hooksPath.

func IsAncestor 

func IsAncestor(dir, old, new string) (bool, error)

IsAncestor reports whether old is an ancestor of new in the repository at dir. It must run with the caller's environment intact so that quarantined objects during pre-receive remain visible.

func IsBinary 

func IsBinary(data []byte) bool

IsBinary reports whether data looks like binary content.

func LastCommitDate added in v0.2.0 

func LastCommitDate(dir, ref string) string

LastCommitDate returns the committer date (YYYY-MM-DD) of the ref tip, or "" for empty repos.

func LastCommits added in v0.5.0 

func LastCommits(dir, ref, path string, names []string) map[string]EntryCommit

LastCommits resolves the newest commit touching each of names directly under path, for the tree at ref.

One git log process serves the whole listing rather than one per entry: the walk streams newest-first and is killed as soon as every name is accounted for, so an active directory reads only the few commits it needs no matter how deep the history goes. Names still unresolved when the walk ends are absent from the map, and callers render them blank.

func MergeBase 

func MergeBase(dir, a, b string) (string, error)

MergeBase returns the best common ancestor, or an error if none exists.

func MergeTree 

func MergeTree(dir, ours, theirs string) (tree string, conflict bool, err error)

MergeTree performs a real merge of ours and theirs, returning the merged tree id. conflict=true means the merge cannot be done automatically.

func MergeTreeOnto 

func MergeTreeOnto(dir, base, onto, commit string) (tree string, conflict bool, err error)

MergeTreeOnto replays commit's changes (relative to base) onto onto, returning the resulting tree. conflict=true when it cannot apply cleanly.

func Parents added in v0.2.0 

func Parents(dir, sha string) []string

Parents returns a commit's parent shas.

func PeelToCommit added in v0.3.0 

func PeelToCommit(dir, ref string) (string, error)

PeelToCommit resolves a ref or object to its commit — annotated tags peel to the commit they point at.

func ReadBlob 

func ReadBlob(dir, ref, path string, limit int64) ([]byte, error)

ReadBlob returns the contents of ref:path, capped at limit bytes.

func ReadCommit 

func ReadCommit(dir, sha string) ([]byte, error)

ReadCommit returns the raw commit object bytes.

func ReadDescription 

func ReadDescription(dir string) string

ReadDescription returns the repo's description from the classic <repo>.git/description file, empty for the git-init placeholder.

func RemoteDefaultBranch 

func RemoteDefaultBranch(ctx context.Context, url string, extraEnv []string) (string, error)

RemoteDefaultBranch asks the remote which branch HEAD points at.

func ResolveRef 

func ResolveRef(dir, ref string) (string, error)

ResolveRef resolves a ref or sha to a full commit sha; errors if absent.

func ResolveTree 

func ResolveTree(dir, sha string) (string, error)

ResolveTree returns the tree id of a commit.

func RevList 

func RevList(dir, ref string, limit int) ([]string, error)

RevList returns up to limit commit SHAs reachable from ref, newest first.

func RevListPath added in v0.3.0 

func RevListPath(dir, ref, filePath string, limit int) ([]string, error)

RevListPath returns up to limit commit SHAs reachable from ref that touch filePath, newest first. The "--" keeps the path from ever being read as an option or ref.

func RevListRange 

func RevListRange(dir, old, new string) ([]string, error)

RevListRange returns commits in old..new, newest first.

func SetHead 

func SetHead(dir, branch string) error

SetHead points the bare repo's HEAD at a branch.

func ShowPatch 

func ShowPatch(dir, sha string, limit int64) (string, error)

ShowPatch returns the stat+patch text for one commit.

func Transport 

func Transport(service, repoPath string, stdin io.Reader, stdout, errW io.Writer, extraEnv []string, maxPack int64) error

Transport streams one git transport service (upload-pack, receive-pack, upload-archive). extraEnv entries are appended to the process environment; hooks read the GITBAY_* variables from it. maxPack caps incoming pack bytes on receive-pack (0 = unlimited).

func UpdateRefCAS 

func UpdateRefCAS(dir, ref, newSHA, oldSHA string) error

UpdateRefCAS points ref at newSHA only if it currently points at oldSHA (empty oldSHA = must not exist). This is the compare-and-swap that makes merges safe against concurrent pushes.

func WriteDescription 

func WriteDescription(dir, desc string) error

WriteDescription sets the description file: first line only, capped.

func ZeroSHA 

func ZeroSHA(s string) bool

ZeroSHA reports whether s is an all-zero object id (SHA-1 or SHA-256).

	Email   string
	Commits int
}

Contributor is one author of a repository's history.

func Contributors added in v1.0.0 

func Contributors(dir, ref string, max int) []Contributor

Contributors summarises authorship reachable from ref, most commits first. Identities are keyed by email, since that is what the forge can tie back to an account.

type EntryCommit added in v0.5.0 

type EntryCommit struct {
	SHA     string
	Subject string
	Author  string
	Email   string
	When    time.Time

func TipCommit added in v0.5.0 

func TipCommit(dir, ref string) EntryCommit

TipCommit is the commit at ref, for the bar above a tree listing that answers "who touched this repository last".

type GrepMatch added in v0.2.0 

type GrepMatch struct {
	Path string
	Line int
	Text string
}

func Grep added in v0.2.0 

func Grep(dir, ref, query string, max int) ([]GrepMatch, error)

Grep runs a literal, case-insensitive git grep over the tree at ref, skipping binary files. Matches are capped at max; "no matches" is an empty result, not an error.

type Language added in v1.0.0 

type Language struct {
	Name    string
	Bytes   int64
	Percent float64
}

func Languages added in v1.0.0

ListTree lists one level of the tree at ref:path.

func StatPath added in v0.5.0 

func StatPath(dir, ref, path string) (TreeEntry, bool)

StatPath returns the tree entry for a single path at ref, so a blob page can report the facts the file listing no longer carries: its size, and whether it is executable or a symlink.
