NodeJS libgit2 bindings

Created by Tim Branyen @tbranyen

Currently under active development, nodegit2 provides asynchronous native bindings to the libgit2 C API.

Building and installing

Dependancies

To run nodegit2 you need NodeJS and to run unit tests you will need to have git installed and accessible from your PATH to fetch any vendor/ addons.

Easy install

[tim@thinkpad Projects]$ sudo npm install nodegit2

Mac OS X/Linux/Unix

Install nodegit2 by cloning source from GitHub and running the configure, make, and make install commands:

[tim@thinkpad Projects]$ git clone git@github.com:tbranyen/nodegit2.git
[tim@thinkpad Projects]$ cd nodegit2
[tim@thinkpad nodegit2]$ ./configure
[tim@thinkpad nodegit2]$ make
[tim@thinkpad nodegit2]$ sudo make install

Windows via Cygiwn

nodegit2 has been compiled and tested to work with the setup required to build and run NodeJS itself.

Instructions on compiling NodeJS on a Windows platform can be found here: [https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows)](https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows\))

API Example Usage

Convenience API

__ Reading a repository and commit data: __

var git = require('nodegit2');

// Read the current repository
git.repo( '.git', function( err, path, repo ) {
    // If success will return 0, if an error message throw it as an error string.
    if( !err ) throw err;

    // Read a commit
    this.commit( '5f2aa9407f7b3aeb531c621c3358953841ccfc98', function( err, details, commit ) {
        // If success will return 0, if an error message throw it as an error string.
        if( !err ) throw err;

        console.log( 'Message', details.message );
        console.log( 'Author name', details.author.name );
        console.log( 'Author email', details.author.email );

        // Memory cleanup is *not* required, but would be nice if you remembered :)
        repo.free();
    });
});

Raw API

__ Accomplishing the same thing as above: __

var git = require('nodegit2').git2;

// Create instance of Repo constructor
var repo = new git.Repo();
// Read the current repository
repo.open( '.git', function( err, path ) {
    // If success will return 0, if an error message throw it as an error string.
    if( !err ) throw err;

    // Create object id and set hash
    var oid = new git.Oid();
    oid.mkstr( '5f2aa9407f7b3aeb531c621c3358953841ccfc98' );

    // Create commit object
    var commit = new git.Commit();

    // Lookup commit
    commit.lookup( repo, oid, function( err, details ) {
        // If success will return 0, if an error message throw it as an error string.
        if( !err ) throw err;

        console.log( 'Message', details.message );
        console.log( 'Author name', details.author.name );
        console.log( 'Author email', details.author.email );

        // Memory cleanup is *not* required, but would be nice if you remembered :)
        repo.free();
    });
});

Running tests

__ nodegit2 library code is written adhering to a modified JSHint. Run these tests with make lint. __

__ Ensure the submodules nodeunit and rimraf are located in the vendor/ subdirectory. __

If they are not, cd into the nodegit2 dir and run the following git commands to automatically fetch them: [tim@thinkpad Projects]$ cd nodegit2 [tim@thinkpad nodegit2]$ git submodule init vendor/ [tim@thinkpad nodegit2]$ git submodule update vendor/

Then simply run make unittest in the project root.

Release information

__ Can keep track of current method coverage at: http://bit.ly/tb_methods __

v0.0.1:

* 1:1 mapping of core `libgit2` methods
* An API that can be easily extended with convenience methods in JS
* An API that offers a familiar clean syntax that will make adoption and use much more likely

v0.0.2:

* More methods implemented
* Better test coverage
* GitHub landing page

v0.0.3:

* Custom odb backend
