Tools for parsing data out of git repositories.
Support this project by donating on Gittip.
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.
npm install git-toolsvar Repo = require( "git-tools" );
var repo = new Repo( "path/to/repo" );
repo.authors(function( error, authors ) {
console.log( authors );
});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 newRepoinstance for the cloned repository.
This function accepts arbitrary options to pass to git clone.
For example, to create a bare repository:
Repo.clone({
repo: "git://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-git-tools.git",
dir: "/tmp/git-tools",
bare: true
});Or to create a repo with limited history:
Repo.clone({
repo: "git://github.com/scottgonzalez/node-git-tools.git",
dir: "/tmp/git-tools",
depth: 5
});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(Boolean): Whether the path is a git repository.
Note: This is equivalent to creating a Repo instance with path and calling isRepo() on the instance.
Gets the number of active days (unique days of authorship). Includes activity by day, month, year, and the entire history.
committish(String; default:"master"): Committish range to analyze.callback(Function;function( error, activeDays )): Function to invoke after getting active days.activeDays(Object): Summary of active days.
The activeDays object has the following form:
{
activeDays: Number,
commits: Number,
dates: {
"YYYY-MM-DD": Number( commits ),
...
},
years: {
"YYYY": {
activeDays: Number,
commits: Number,
months: {
"M": {
activeDays: Number,
commits: Number,
days: {
"D": {
commits: Number
},
...
}
},
...
}
},
...
}
}Gets the age of the repository.
callback(Function;function( error, age )): Function to invoke after getting the age.age(String): The age of the repository.
Gets all authors, sorted by number of commits.
committish(String; default:"master"): Committish range to analyze.callback(Function;function( error, authors )): Function to invoke after getting authors.authors(Array): All authors, sorted by number of commits.
Each author object contains the following properties:
email(String): Author's email address.name(String): Author's name.commits(Number): Number of commits.commitsPercent(Number): Percentage of commits.
Determine what revision and author last modified each line of a file.
options(Object): Options for the blame.path(String): The path to the file to run the blame for.committish(String; default:"HEAD"): Revision or range to blame against.
callback(Function;function( error, blame )): Function to invoke after blaming the file.blame(Array): Commit information for each line.
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.
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.
Gets the value of a configuration option.
name(String): The name of the configuration option.callback(Function;function( error, value )): Function to invoke after getting the configuration option.value(String|null): The value for the configuration option, ornullif no value is set.
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, ornullif in detached HEAD state.
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.
Gets all remote repositories.
callback(Function;function( error, remotes )): Function to invoke after getting the remotes.remotes(Array): All remote repositories.
Each remote object contains the following properties:
name(String): Remote name.url(String): URL for the remote repository.
Resolves a committish to a SHA1.
committish(String): Any committish to resolve.callback(Function;function( error, sha )): Function to invoke after resolving the comittish.sha: SHA1 of the resolved committish.
Gets all tags in reverse chronological order.
Lightweight tags are sorted by author date and annotated tags are sorted by tagger date.
callback(Function;function( error, tags )): Function to invoke after getting tags.tags(Array): All tags, sorted by date.
Each tag object contains the following properties:
name(String): Tag name.sha(String): SHA-1 for the tag. For lightweight tags, this is the SHA-1 of the commit.date(Date): Author date for ligthweight tags, tagger date for annotated tags.
