Method

GgitRepositoryget_ahead_behind

Declaration [src]

void
ggit_repository_get_ahead_behind (
  GgitRepository* repository,
  GgitOId* local,
  GgitOId* upstream,
  gsize* ahead,
  gsize* behind,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Count the number of unique commits between two commit objects.

There is no need for branches containing the commits to have any upstream relationship, but it helps to think of one as a branch and the other as its upstream, the ahead and behind values will be what git would report for the branches.

Parameters

local

Type: GgitOId

The commit for local.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

upstream

Type: GgitOId

The commit for upstream.

The data is owned by the caller of the method.

ahead

Type: gsize*

Number of unique from commits in upstream.

The argument will be set by the function.

behind

Type: gsize*

Number of unique from commits in local.

The argument will be set by the function.

error

Type: GError **

The return location for a recoverable error.

The argument can be NULL.

If the return location is not NULL, then you must initialize it to a NULL GError*.

The argument will be left initialized to NULL by the method if there are no errors.

In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
