*go-git* is a highly extensible git implementation library written in **pure Go**.
|
|
|
|
It can be used to manipulate git repositories at low level *(plumbing)* or high level *(porcelain)*, through an idiomatic Go API. It also supports several types of storage, such as in-memory filesystems, or custom implementations thanks to the [`Storer`](https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v4/plumbing/storer) interface.
|
|
|
|
It's being actively developed since 2015 and is being used extensively by [source{d}](https://sourced.tech/) and [Keybase](https://keybase.io/blog/encrypted-git-for-everyone), and by many other libraries and tools.

|
Comparison with git
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
*go-git* aims to be fully compatible with [git](https://github.com/git/git), all the *porcelain* operations are implemented to work exactly as *git* does.
|
|
|
|
*git* is a humongous project with years of development by thousands of contributors, making it challenging for *go-git* to implement all the features. You can find a comparison of *go-git* vs *git* in the [compatibility documentation](COMPATIBILITY.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The recommended way to install *go-git* is:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get -u gopkg.in/src-d/go-git.v4/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> We use [gopkg.in](http://labix.org/gopkg.in) to version the API, this means that when `go get` clones the package, it's the latest tag matching `v4.*` that is cloned and not the master branch.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
> Please note that the `CheckIfError` and `Info` functions used in the examples are from the [examples package](https://github.com/src-d/go-git/blob/master/_examples/common.go#L17) just to be used in the examples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Basic example
|
|
|
|
A basic example that mimics the standard `git clone` command
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Clone the given repository to the given directory
|
|
Info("git clone https://github.com/src-d/go-git")
|
|
|
|
_, err := git.PlainClone("/tmp/foo", false, &git.CloneOptions{
|
|
URL: "https://github.com/src-d/go-git",
|
|
Progress: os.Stdout,
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
CheckIfError(err)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Outputs:
|
|
```
|
|
Counting objects: 4924, done.
|
|
Compressing objects: 100% (1333/1333), done.
|
|
Total 4924 (delta 530), reused 6 (delta 6), pack-reused 3533
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### In-memory example
|
|
|
|
Cloning a repository into memory and printing the history of HEAD, just like `git log` does
|
|
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Clones the given repository in memory, creating the remote, the local
|
|
// branches and fetching the objects, exactly as:
|
|
Info("git clone https://github.com/src-d/go-siva")
|
|
|
|
r, err := git.Clone(memory.NewStorage(), nil, &git.CloneOptions{
|
|
URL: "https://github.com/src-d/go-siva",
|
|
})
|
|
|
|
CheckIfError(err)
|
|
|
|
// Gets the HEAD history from HEAD, just like this command:
|
|
Info("git log")
|
|
|
|
// ... retrieves the branch pointed by HEAD
|
|
ref, err := r.Head()
|
|
CheckIfError(err)
|
|
|
|
|
|
// ... retrieves the commit history
|
|
cIter, err := r.Log(&git.LogOptions{From: ref.Hash()})
|
|
CheckIfError(err)
|
|
|
|
// ... just iterates over the commits, printing it
|
|
err = cIter.ForEach(func(c *object.Commit) error {
|
|
fmt.Println(c)
|
|
return nil
|
|
})
|
|
CheckIfError(err)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Outputs:
|
|
```
