API Documentation. ##

Getting started. ##

NodeGit will work on most systems out-of-the-box without any native
dependencies.

`` bash
npm install nodegit
`

If you receive errors about libstdc++, which are commonly experienced when
building on Travis-CI, you can fix this by upgrading to the latest
libstdc++-4.9.

In Ubuntu:

` sh
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libstdc++-4.9-dev
`

In Travis:

` yaml
addons:
apt:
sources:
- ubuntu-toolchain-r-test
packages:
- libstdc++-4.9-dev
`

In CircleCI:

` yaml
dependencies:
pre:
- sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install -y libstdc++-4.9-dev
`

If you receive errors about lifecycleScripts preinstall/install you probably miss libssl-dev
In Ubuntu:
`
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
`

If you are still encountering problems while installing, you should try the
Building from source
instructions.

` javascript
var Git = require("nodegit");

// Clone a given repository into the ./tmp folder.
Git.Clone("https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit", "./tmp")
// Look up this known commit.
.then(function(repo) {
// Use a known commit sha from this repository.
return repo.getCommit("59b20b8d5c6ff8d09518454d4dd8b7b30f095ab5");
})
// Look up a specific file within that commit.
.then(function(commit) {
return commit.getEntry("README.md");
})
// Get the blob contents from the file.
.then(function(entry) {
// Patch the blob to contain a reference to the entry.
return entry.getBlob().then(function(blob) {
blob.entry = entry;
return blob;
});
})
// Display information about the blob.
.then(function(blob) {
// Show the path, sha, and filesize in bytes.
console.log(blob.entry.path() + blob.entry.sha() + blob.rawsize() + "b");

// Show a spacer.
console.log(Array(72).join("=") + "\n\n");

// Show the entire file.
console.log(String(blob));
})
.catch(function(err) { console.log(err); });

` javascript
var Git = require("nodegit");

// Open the repository directory.
Git.Repository.open("tmp")
// Open the master branch.
.then(function(repo) {
return repo.getMasterCommit();
})
// Display information about commits on master.
.then(function(firstCommitOnMaster) {
// Create a new history event emitter.
var history = firstCommitOnMaster.history();

// Create a counter to only show up to 9 entries.
var count = 0;

// Listen for commit events from the history.
history.on("commit", function(commit) {
// Disregard commits past 9.
if (++count >= 9) {
return;
}

// Show the commit sha.
console.log("commit " + commit.sha());

// Store the author object.
var author = commit.author();

// Display author information.
console.log("Author:\t" + author.name() + " <" + author.email() + ">");

// Show the commit date.
console.log("Date:\t" + commit.date());

// Give some space and show the message.
console.log("\n " + commit.message());
});

// Start emitting events.
history.start();
});
