README

go-git GoDoc Build Status codecov.io codebeat badge

A low level and highly extensible git implementation in pure Go.

go-git aims to reach the completeness of libgit2 or jgit, nowadays covers the majority of the plumbing read operations and some of the main write operations, but lacks the main porcelain operations such as merges.

It is highly extensible, we have been following the open/close principle in its design to facilitate extensions, mainly focusing the efforts on the persistence of the objects.

... is this production ready?

The master branch represents the v4 of the library, it is currently under active development and is planned to be released in early 2017.

If you are looking for a production ready version, please take a look to the v3 which is being used in production at source{d} since August 2015 to analyze all GitHub public repositories (i.e. 16M repositories).

We recommend the use of v4 to develop new projects since it includes much new functionality and provides a more idiomatic git API

Installation

The recommended way to install go-git is:

go get -u srcd.works/go-git.v4/...

Examples

Cloning a repository and printing the history of HEAD, just like git log does

Please note that the functions CheckIfError and Info used in the examples are from the examples package just to be used in the examples.

// Instances an in-memory git repository
r := git.NewMemoryRepository()

// Clones the given repository, creating the remote, the local branches
// and fetching the objects, exactly as:
Info("git clone https://github.com/src-d/go-siva")

err := r.Clone(&git.CloneOptions{URL: "https://github.com/src-d/go-siva"})
CheckIfError(err)

// Gets the HEAD history from HEAD, just like does:
Info("git log")

// ... retrieves the branch pointed by HEAD
ref, err := r.Head()
CheckIfError(err)

// ... retrieves the commit object
commit, err := r.Commit(ref.Hash())
CheckIfError(err)

// ... retrieves the commit history
history, err := commit.History()
CheckIfError(err)

// ... just iterates over the commits, printing it
for _, c := range history {
    fmt.Println(c)
}

Overview

Package git is a low level and highly extensible git client library for reading repositories from git servers. It is written in Go from scratch, without any C dependencies.

We have been following the open/close principle in its design to facilitate extensions.

Small example extracting the commits from a repository: 

 func ExampleBasic_printCommits() {
     r := git.NewMemoryRepository()
     o := &git.CloneOptions{
         URL: "https://github.com/src-d/go-git",
     }
     if err := r.Clone(o); err != nil {
         panic(err)
     }

     iter, err := r.Commits()
     if err != nil {
         panic(err)
     }
     defer iter.Close()

     for {
         commit, err := iter.Next()
         if err != nil {
             if err == io.EOF {
                 break
             }
             panic(err)
         }

         fmt.Println(commit)
     }
}

Functions

func References 

func References(c *object.Commit, path string) ([]*object.Commit, error)

References returns a References for the file at "path", the commits are sorted in commit order. It stops searching a branch for a file upon reaching the commit were the file was created.

Caveats:

  • Moves and copies are not currently supported.
  • Cherry-picks are not detected unless there are no commits between them and therefore can appear repeated in the list. (see git path-id for hints on how to fix this).

Types

type BlameResult 

type BlameResult struct {
	Path  string
	Rev   plumbing.Hash
	Lines []*Line
}

func Blame 

func Blame(c *object.Commit, path string) (*BlameResult, error)

Blame returns the last commit that modified each line of a file in a repository.

The file to blame is identified by the input arguments: repo, commit and path. The output is a slice of commits, one for each line in the file.

Blaming a file is a two step process:

1. Create a linear history of the commits affecting a file. We use revlist.New for that.

2. Then build a graph with a node for every line in every file in the history of the file.

Each node (line) holds the commit where it was introduced or last modified. To achieve that we use the FORWARD algorithm described in Zimmermann, et al. "Mining Version Archives for Co-changed Lines", in proceedings of the Mining Software Repositories workshop, Shanghai, May 22-23, 2006.

Each node is assigned a commit: Start by the nodes in the first commit. Assign that commit as the creator of all its lines.

Then jump to the nodes in the next commit, and calculate the diff between the two files. Newly created lines get assigned the new commit as its origin. Modified lines also get this new commit. Untouched lines retain the old commit.

All this work is done in the assignOrigin function which holds all the internal relevant data in a "blame" struct, that is not exported.

TODO: ways to improve the efficiency of this function:

1. Improve revlist

2. Improve how to traverse the history (example a backward traversal will be much more efficient)

TODO: ways to improve the function in general:

1. Add memoization between revlist and assign.

2. It is using much more memory than needed, see the TODOs below.
