- objects¶
Example:
>>> all_refs = list(repo.references)
>>> master_ref = repo.lookup_reference("refs/heads/master")
>>> commit = master_ref.peel() # or repo[master_ref.target]
# Create a reference
>>> ref = repo.references.create('refs/tags/version1', LAST_COMMIT)
# Delete a reference
>>> repo.references.delete('refs/tags/version1')
The Reference type¶
- class pygit2.Reference¶
Reference.
- Reference.name¶
The full name of the reference.
- Reference.shorthand¶
The shorthand “human-readable” name of the reference.
- Reference.target¶
The reference target: If direct the value will be an Oid object, if it is symbolic it will be an string with the full name of the target reference.
- Reference.type¶
Type, either GIT_REF_OID or GIT_REF_SYMBOLIC.
- Reference.set_target(target[, message])¶
Set the target of this reference.
Update the reference using the given signature and message. These will be used to fill the reflog entry which will be created as a result of this update.
Parameters:
- target
- The new target for this reference
- message
- Message to use for the reflog.
- Reference.delete()¶
Delete this reference. It will no longer be valid!
- Reference.rename(new_name)¶
Rename the reference.
- Reference.resolve() → Reference¶
Resolve a symbolic reference and return a direct reference.
- Reference.peel(type=None) → object¶
Retrieve an object of the given type by recursive peeling.
If no type is provided, the first non-tag object will be returned.
- Reference.log() → RefLogIter¶
Retrieves the current reference log.
Example:
>>> branch = repository.lookup_reference("refs/heads/master") >>> branch.target = another_commit.id >>> committer = Signature('Cecil Committer', 'cecil@committers.tld') >>> branch.log_append(another_commit.id, committer, "changed branch target using pygit2")
This creates a reflog entry in git reflog master which looks like:
7296b92 master@{10}: changed branch target using pygit2
In order to make an entry in git reflog, ie. the reflog for HEAD, you have to get the Reference object for HEAD and call log_append on that.
- Reference.get_object() → object¶
Retrieves the object the current reference is pointing to.
This method is deprecated, please use Reference.peel() instead.
The HEAD¶
Example. These two lines are equivalent:
>>> head = repo.lookup_reference('HEAD').resolve()
>>> head = repo.head
- Repository.head¶
Current head reference of the repository.
- Repository.head_is_detached¶
A repository’s HEAD is detached when it points directly to a commit instead of a branch.
- Repository.head_is_unborn¶
An unborn branch is one named from HEAD but which doesn’t exist in the refs namespace, because it doesn’t have any commit to point to.
Branches¶
Branches inherit from References, and additionally provide specialized accessors for some unique features.
- class pygit2.repository.Branches(repository, flag=3)¶
- __contains__(name)¶
- __dict__ = dict_proxy({'__module__': 'pygit2.repository', '__getitem__': <function __getitem__ at 0x7fa002b090c8>, 'get': <function get at 0x7fa002b09140>, 'create': <function create at 0x7fa002b09230>, '__contains__': <function __contains__ at 0x7fa002b09320>, '__iter__': <function __iter__ at 0x7fa002b091b8>, '__dict__': <attribute '__dict__' of 'Branches' objects>, '__weakref__': <attribute '__weakref__' of 'Branches' objects>, '__doc__': None, '__init__': <function __init__ at 0x7fa002b09050>, 'delete': <function delete at 0x7fa002b092a8>})¶
- __getitem__(name)¶
- __init__(repository, flag=3)¶
- __iter__()¶
- __module__ = 'pygit2.repository'¶
- __weakref__¶
list of weak references to the object (if defined)
- create(name, commit, force=False)¶
- delete(name)¶
- get(key)¶
Example:
>>> # Listing all branches
>>> branches_list = list(repo.branches)
>>> # Local only
>>> local_branches = list(repo.branches.local)
>>> # Remote only
>>> remote_branches = list(repo.branches.remote)
>>> # Get a branch
>>> branch = repo.branches['master']
>>> other_branch = repo.branches['does-not-exist'] # Will raise a KeyError
>>> other_branch = repo.branches.get('does-not-exist') # Returns None
>>> remote_branch = repo.branches.remote['upstream/feature']
>>> # Create a local branch
>>> new_branch = repo.branches.local.create('new-branch')
>>> And delete it
>>> repo.branches.delete('new-branch')
The Branch type¶
- Branch.branch_name¶
The name of the local or remote branch.
- Branch.remote_name¶
The name of the remote set to be the upstream of this branch.
- Branch.upstream¶
The branch’s upstream branch or None if this branch does not have an upstream set. Set to None to unset the upstream configuration.
- Branch.upstream_name¶
The name of the reference set to be the upstream of this one
- Branch.rename(name, force=False)¶
Move/rename an existing local branch reference. The new branch name will be checked for validity. Returns the new branch.
- Branch.delete()¶
Delete this branch. It will no longer be valid!
- Branch.is_head()¶
True if HEAD points at the branch, False otherwise.
- Branch.is_checked_out()¶
True if branch is checked out by any repo connected to the current one, False otherwise.
The reference log¶
Example:
>>> head = repo.references.get('refs/heads/master') # Returns None if not found
>>> # Almost equivalent to
>>> head = repo.references['refs/heads/master'] # Raises KeyError if not found
>>> for entry in head.log():
... print(entry.message)
Notes¶
- Repository.notes()¶
- Repository.create_note(message, author, committer, annotated_id[, ref, force]) → Oid¶
Create a new note for an object, return its SHA-ID.If no ref is given ‘refs/notes/commits’ will be used.
- Repository.lookup_note(annotated_id[, ref]) → Note¶
Lookup a note for an annotated object in a repository.
