Commit log

Repository.walk(oid: Oid | None, sort_mode: int = GIT_SORT_NONE) → Walker

Start traversing the history from the given commit. The following types of sorting could be used to control traversing direction:

  • GIT_SORT_NONE. Sort the output with the same default method from git: reverse chronological order. This is the default sorting for new walkers.

  • GIT_SORT_TOPOLOGICAL. Sort the repository contents in topological order (no parents before all of its children are shown); this sorting mode can be combined with time sorting to produce git’s –date-order`.

  • GIT_SORT_TIME. Sort the repository contents by commit time; this sorting mode can be combined with topological sorting.

  • GIT_SORT_REVERSE. Iterate through the repository contents in reverse order; this sorting mode can be combined with any of the above.

Example:

>>> from pygit2 import Repository
>>> from pygit2 import GIT_SORT_TOPOLOGICAL, GIT_SORT_REVERSE
>>> repo = Repository('.git')
>>> for commit in repo.walk(repo.head.target, GIT_SORT_TOPOLOGICAL):
...    print(commit.message)
>>> for commit in repo.walk(repo.head.target, GIT_SORT_TOPOLOGICAL | GIT_SORT_REVERSE):
...    print(commit.message)
>>>
Walker.hide(oid: Oid)

Mark a commit (and its ancestors) uninteresting for the output.

Walker.push(oid: Oid)

Mark a commit to start traversal from.

Walker.reset()

Reset the walking machinery for reuse.

Walker.sort(mode: int)

Change the sorting mode (this resets the walker).

Walker.simplify_first_parent()

Simplify the history by first-parent.
