Method

GgitRepositorycreate_index_entry_for_file

Declaration [src]

GgitIndexEntry*
ggit_repository_create_index_entry_for_file (
  GgitRepository* repository,
  GFile* file,
  GgitOId* id,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Create a new index entry. When file is not NULL, the path of the returned entry (#ggit_index_entry_get_path) is set to the path of file relative to the working directory of repository. The file must reside in the working directory of repository. The file related fields of the returned entry are also queried from this file (if the file exists).

If id is not NULL, then the id of the returned entry is set to id (see #ggit_index_entry_get_id) which could point to a blob (for a file) or a tree (for a directory).
