Objects.Base

class git.objects.base.IndexObject(repo: Repo, binsha: bytes, mode: Union[None, int] = None, path: Union[None, str, PathLike[str]] = None)

Base for all objects that can be part of the index file , namely Tree, Blob and SubModule objects

__annotations__ = {}

__hash__() → int

Returns:

Hash of our path as index items are uniquely identifiable by path, not by their data !

__init__(repo: Repo, binsha: bytes, mode: Union[None, int] = None, path: Union[None, str, PathLike[str]] = None) → None

Initialize a newly instanced IndexObject

Parameters:

• repo – is the Repo we are located in

• binsha – 20 byte sha1

• mode – is the stat compatible file mode as int, use the stat module to evaluate the information

• path – is the path to the file in the file system, relative to the git repository root, i.e. file.ext or folder/other.ext

Note:

Path may not be set of the index object has been created directly as it cannot be retrieved without knowing the parent tree.

__module__ = 'git.objects.base'

__slots__ = ('path', 'mode')

property abspath: Union[str, PathLike[str]]

Returns:

Absolute path to this index object in the file system ( as opposed to the .path field which is a path relative to the git repository ).

The returned path will be native to the system and contains ‘’ on windows.

• head – If True, the HEAD will be advanced to the new commit automatically. Else the HEAD will remain pointing on the previous commit. This could lead to undesired results when diffing files.

• author – The name of the author, optional. If unset, the repository configuration is used to obtain this value.

• committer – The name of the committer, optional. If unset, the repository configuration is used to obtain this value.

• author_date – The timestamp for the author field

property trailers: Dict

Get the trailers of the message as dictionary

Git messages can contain trailer information that are similar to RFC 822 e-mail headers (see: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-interpret-trailers).

This functions calls git interpret-trailers --parse onto the message to extract the trailer information. The key value pairs are stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces before they get saved into a dictionary.

Valid message with trailer:

Subject line

some body information

another information

key1: value1
key2 :    value 2 with inner spaces

dictionary will look like this:

{
    "key1": "value1",
    "key2": "value 2 with inner spaces"
}

Returns:

Dictionary containing whitespace stripped trailer information

__subclasshook__()

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).

__weakref__

classmethod add(repo: Repo, name: str, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], url: Optional[str] = None, branch: Optional[str] = None, no_checkout: bool = False, depth: Optional[int] = None, env: Optional[Mapping[str, str]] = None, clone_multi_options: Optional[Sequence[Any]] = None, allow_unsafe_options: bool = False, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False) → Submodule

Add a new submodule to the given repository. This will alter the index as well as the .gitmodules file, but will not create a new commit. If the submodule already exists, no matter if the configuration differs from the one provided, the existing submodule will be returned.

Parameters:

• repo – Repository instance which should receive the submodule

• name – The name/identifier for the submodule

• path – repository-relative or absolute path at which the submodule should be located It will be created as required during the repository initialization.

• url – git-clone compatible URL, see git-clone reference for more information If None, the repository is assumed to exist, and the url of the first remote is taken instead. This is useful if you want to make an existing repository a submodule of anotherone.

• branch – name of branch at which the submodule should (later) be checked out. The given branch must exist in the remote repository, and will be checked out locally as a tracking branch. It will only be written into the configuration if it not None, which is when the checked out branch will be the one the remote HEAD pointed to. The result you get in these situation is somewhat fuzzy, and it is recommended to specify at least ‘master’ here. Examples are ‘master’ or ‘feature/new’

• no_checkout – if True, and if the repository has to be cloned manually, no checkout will be performed

• depth – Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of commits.

• env – Optional dictionary containing the desired environment variables. Note: Provided variables will be used to update the execution environment for git. If some variable is not specified in env and is defined in os.environ, value from os.environ will be used. If you want to unset some variable, consider providing empty string as its value.

• clone_multi_options – A list of Clone options. Please see git.repo.base.Repo.clone for details.

Returns:

The newly created submodule instance

Note:

works atomically, such that no change will be done if the repository update fails for instance

property branch: Head

Returns:

The branch instance that we are to checkout

Raises:

InvalidGitRepositoryError – if our module is not yet checked out

property branch_name: str

Returns:

the name of the branch, which is the shortest possible branch name

property branch_path: Union[str, PathLike[str]]

Returns:

full(relative) path as string to the branch we would checkout from the remote and track

children() → IterableList[Submodule]

Returns:

IterableList(Submodule, …) an iterable list of submodules instances which are children of this submodule or 0 if the submodule is not checked out

config_reader() → SectionConstraint[SubmoduleConfigParser]

Returns:

ConfigReader instance which allows you to qurey the configuration values of this submodule, as provided by the .gitmodules file

Note:

The config reader will actually read the data directly from the repository and thus does not need nor care about your working tree.

Note:

Should be cached by the caller and only kept as long as needed

Raises:

IOError – If the .gitmodules file/blob could not be read

config_writer(index: Optional[IndexFile] = None, write: bool = True) → SectionConstraint[SubmoduleConfigParser]

Returns:

a config writer instance allowing you to read and write the data belonging to this submodule into the .gitmodules file.

Parameters:

• index – if not None, an IndexFile instance which should be written. defaults to the index of the Submodule’s parent repository.

• write – if True, the index will be written each time a configuration value changes.

Note:

the parameters allow for a more efficient writing of the index, as you can pass in a modified index on your own, prevent automatic writing, and write yourself once the whole operation is complete

Raises:

• ValueError – if trying to get a writer on a parent_commit which does not match the current head commit

• IOError – If the .gitmodules file/blob could not be read

exists() → bool

Returns:

True if the submodule exists, False otherwise. Please note that a submodule may exist ( in the .gitmodules file) even though its module doesn’t exist on disk

True if our module exists and is a valid git repository. See module() method

move(module_path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], configuration: bool = True, module: bool = True) → Submodule

Move the submodule to a another module path. This involves physically moving the repository at our current path, changing the configuration, as well as adjusting our index entry accordingly.

Parameters:

• module_path – the path to which to move our module in the parent repostory’s working tree, given as repository - relative or absolute path. Intermediate directories will be created accordingly. If the path already exists, it must be empty. Trailing(back)slashes are removed automatically

• configuration – if True, the configuration will be adjusted to let the submodule point to the given path.

• module – if True, the repository managed by this submodule will be moved as well. If False, we don’t move the submodule’s checkout, which may leave the parent repository in an inconsistent state.

Returns:

self

Raises:

ValueError – if the module path existed and was not empty, or was a file

Note:

Currently the method is not atomic, and it could leave the repository in an inconsistent state if a sub - step fails for some reason

property name: str

Returns:

The name of this submodule. It is used to identify it within the .gitmodules file.

Note:

by default, the name is the path at which to find the submodule, but in git - python it should be a unique identifier similar to the identifiers used for remotes, which allows to change the path of the submodule easily

property parent_commit: Commit_ish

Returns:

Commit instance with the tree containing the .gitmodules file

Note:

will always point to the current head’s commit if it was not set explicitly

remove(module: bool = True, force: bool = False, configuration: bool = True, dry_run: bool = False) → Submodule

Remove this submodule from the repository. This will remove our entry from the .gitmodules file and the entry in the .git / config file.

Parameters:

• module – If True, the module checkout we point to will be deleted as well. If the module is currently on a commit which is not part of any branch in the remote, if the currently checked out branch working tree, or untracked files, is ahead of its tracking branch, if you have modifications in the In case the removal of the repository fails for these reasons, the submodule status will not have been altered. If this submodule has child - modules on its own, these will be deleted prior to touching the own module.

• force – Enforces the deletion of the module even though it contains modifications. This basically enforces a brute - force file system based deletion.

• configuration – if True, the submodule is deleted from the configuration, otherwise it isn’t. Although this should be enabled most of the times, this flag enables you to safely delete the repository of your submodule.

• dry_run – if True, we will not actually do anything, but throw the errors we would usually throw

Returns:

self

Note:

doesn’t work in bare repositories

Note:

doesn’t work atomically, as failure to remove any part of the submodule will leave an inconsistent state

Raises:

• InvalidGitRepositoryError – thrown if the repository cannot be deleted

• OSError – if directories or files could not be removed

rename(new_name: str) → Submodule

Rename this submodule :note: This method takes care of renaming the submodule in various places, such as

• $parent_git_dir / config

• $working_tree_dir / .gitmodules

• (git >= v1.8.0: move submodule repository to new name)

As .gitmodules will be changed, you would need to make a commit afterwards. The changed .gitmodules file will already be added to the index

Returns:

this submodule instance

set_parent_commit(commit: Optional[Union[Commit, TagObject, Blob, Tree]], check: bool = True) → Submodule

Set this instance to use the given commit whose tree is supposed to contain the .gitmodules blob.

Parameters:

• commit – Commit’ish reference pointing at the root_tree, or None to always point to the most recent commit

• check – if True, relatively expensive checks will be performed to verify validity of the submodule.

Raises:

• ValueError – if the commit’s tree didn’t contain the .gitmodules blob.

• ValueError – if the parent commit didn’t store this submodule under the current path

Returns:

self

type: Literal['submodule'] = 'submodule'

update(recursive: bool = False, init: bool = True, to_latest_revision: bool = False, progress: Optional[UpdateProgress] = None, dry_run: bool = False, force: bool = False, keep_going: bool = False, env: Optional[Mapping[str, str]] = None, clone_multi_options: Optional[Sequence[Any]] = None, allow_unsafe_options: bool = False, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False) → Submodule

Update the repository of this submodule to point to the checkout we point at with the binsha of this instance.

Parameters:

• recursive – if True, we will operate recursively and update child- modules as well.

• init – if True, the module repository will be cloned into place if necessary

• to_latest_revision – if True, the submodule’s sha will be ignored during checkout. Instead, the remote will be fetched, and the local tracking branch updated. This only works if we have a local tracking branch, which is the case if the remote repository had a master branch, or of the ‘branch’ option was specified for this submodule and the branch existed remotely

• progress – UpdateProgress instance or None if no progress should be shown

• dry_run – if True, the operation will only be simulated, but not performed. All performed operations are read - only

• force – If True, we may reset heads even if the repository in question is dirty. Additinoally we will be allowed to set a tracking branch which is ahead of its remote branch back into the past or the location of the remote branch. This will essentially ‘forget’ commits. If False, local tracking branches that are in the future of their respective remote branches will simply not be moved.

• keep_going – if True, we will ignore but log all errors, and keep going recursively. Unless dry_run is set as well, keep_going could cause subsequent / inherited errors you wouldn’t see otherwise. In conjunction with dry_run, it can be useful to anticipate all errors when updating submodules

• env – Optional dictionary containing the desired environment variables. Note: Provided variables will be used to update the execution environment for git. If some variable is not specified in env and is defined in os.environ, value from os.environ will be used. If you want to unset some variable, consider providing empty string as its value.

• clone_multi_options – list of Clone options. Please see git.repo.base.Repo.clone for details. Only take effect with init option.

Note:

does nothing in bare repositories

Note:

method is definitely not atomic if recurisve is True

Returns:

self

property url: str

Returns:

The url to the repository which our module - repository refers to

class git.objects.submodule.base.UpdateProgress

Class providing detailed progress information to the caller who should derive from it and implement the update(...) message

CLONE = 512

FETCH = 1024

UPDWKTREE = 2048

__annotations__ = {'_cur_line': 'Optional[str]', '_num_op_codes': <class 'int'>, '_seen_ops': 'List[int]', 'error_lines': 'List[str]', 'other_lines': 'List[str]'}

__module__ = 'git.objects.submodule.base'

__slots__ = ()

Objects.Submodule.root

class git.objects.submodule.root.RootModule(repo: Repo)

A (virtual) Root of all submodules in the given repository. It can be used to more easily traverse all submodules of the master repository

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})

__annotations__ = {'_id_attribute_': 'str', 'type': "Literal['submodule']"}

__init__(repo: Repo)

Initialize this instance with its attributes. We only document the ones that differ from IndexObject

Parameters:

• repo – Our parent repository

• binsha – binary sha referring to a commit in the remote repository, see url parameter

• parent_commit – see set_parent_commit()

• url – The url to the remote repository which is the submodule

• branch_path – full (relative) path to ref to checkout when cloning the remote repository

__module__ = 'git.objects.submodule.root'

__parameters__ = ()

__slots__ = ()

__subclasshook__()

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).

k_root_name = '__ROOT__'

module() → Repo

Returns:

the actual repository containing the submodules

update(previous_commit: Optional[Union[Commit, TagObject, Blob, Tree]] = None, recursive: bool = True, force_remove: bool = False, init: bool = True, to_latest_revision: bool = False, progress: Union[None, RootUpdateProgress] = None, dry_run: bool = False, force_reset: bool = False, keep_going: bool = False) → RootModule

Update the submodules of this repository to the current HEAD commit. This method behaves smartly by determining changes of the path of a submodules repository, next to changes to the to-be-checked-out commit or the branch to be checked out. This works if the submodules ID does not change. Additionally it will detect addition and removal of submodules, which will be handled gracefully.

Parameters:

• previous_commit – If set to a commit’ish, the commit we should use as the previous commit the HEAD pointed to before it was set to the commit it points to now. If None, it defaults to HEAD@{1} otherwise

• recursive – if True, the children of submodules will be updated as well using the same technique

• force_remove – If submodules have been deleted, they will be forcibly removed. Otherwise the update may fail if a submodule’s repository cannot be deleted as changes have been made to it (see Submodule.update() for more information)

• init – If we encounter a new module which would need to be initialized, then do it.

• to_latest_revision – If True, instead of checking out the revision pointed to by this submodule’s sha, the checked out tracking branch will be merged with the latest remote branch fetched from the repository’s origin. Unless force_reset is specified, a local tracking branch will never be reset into its past, therefore the remote branch must be in the future for this to have an effect.

• force_reset – if True, submodules may checkout or reset their branch even if the repository has pending changes that would be overwritten, or if the local tracking branch is in the future of the remote tracking branch and would be reset into its past.

• progress – RootUpdateProgress instance or None if no progress should be sent

• dry_run – if True, operations will not actually be performed. Progress messages will change accordingly to indicate the WOULD DO state of the operation.

• keep_going – if True, we will ignore but log all errors, and keep going recursively. Unless dry_run is set as well, keep_going could cause subsequent/inherited errors you wouldn’t see otherwise. In conjunction with dry_run, it can be useful to anticipate all errors when updating submodules

Returns:

Objects.Submodule.util

class git.objects.submodule.util.SubmoduleConfigParser(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)

Catches calls to _write, and updates the .gitmodules blob in the index with the new data, if we have written into a stream. Otherwise it will add the local file to the index to make it correspond with the working tree. Additionally, the cache must be cleared

Please note that no mutating method will work in bare mode

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})

__init__(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → None

Initialize a configuration reader to read the given file_or_files and to possibly allow changes to it by setting read_only False

Parameters:

• file_or_files – A single file path or file objects or multiple of these

• read_only – If True, the ConfigParser may only read the data , but not change it. If False, only a single file path or file object may be given. We will write back the changes when they happen, or when the ConfigParser is released. This will not happen if other configuration files have been included

• merge_includes – if True, we will read files mentioned in [include] sections and merge their contents into ours. This makes it impossible to write back an individual configuration file. Thus, if you want to modify a single configuration file, turn this off to leave the original dataset unaltered when reading it.

• repo – Reference to repository to use if [includeIf] sections are found in configuration files.

__module__ = 'git.objects.submodule.util'

flush_to_index() → None

Flush changes in our configuration file to the index

classmethod committer(config_reader: Union[None, GitConfigParser, SectionConstraint] = None) → Actor

Returns:

Actor instance corresponding to the configured committer. It behaves similar to the git implementation, such that the environment will override configuration values of config_reader. If no value is set at all, it will be generated

Parameters:

As above, but inverses the operation, returning a string that can be used in commit objects

git.objects.util.get_object_type_by_name(object_type_name: bytes) → Union[Type[Commit], Type[TagObject], Type[Tree], Type[Blob]]

Returns:

type suitable to handle the given object type name. Use the type to create new instances.

Parameters:

git.objects.util.parse_actor_and_date(line: str) → Tuple[Actor, int, int]

Parse out the actor (author or committer) info from a line like:

author Tom Preston-Werner <tom@mojombo.com> 1191999972 -0700

Returns:

[Actor, int_seconds_since_epoch, int_timezone_offset]

git.objects.util.parse_date(string_date: Union[str, datetime]) → Tuple[int, int]

Parse the given date as one of the following

• aware datetime instance

• Git internal format: timestamp offset

• RFC 2822: Thu, 07 Apr 2005 22:13:13 +0200.

• ISO 8601 2005-04-07T22:13:13

  The T can be a space as well

list of weak references to the object (if defined)

dst(dt: Optional[datetime]) → timedelta

datetime -> DST offset as timedelta positive east of UTC.

tzname(dt: Optional[datetime]) → str

datetime -> string name of time zone.

utcoffset(dt: Optional[datetime]) → timedelta

datetime -> timedelta showing offset from UTC, negative values indicating West of UTC

git.objects.util.utctz_to_altz(utctz: str) → int

we convert utctz to the timezone in seconds, it is the format time.altzone returns. Git stores it as UTC timezone which has the opposite sign as well, which explains the -1 * ( that was made explicit here ) :param utctz: git utc timezone string, i.e. +0200

git.objects.util.verify_utctz(offset: str) → str

Raises:

ValueError – if offset is incorrect

Returns:

offset

Index.Base

exception git.index.base.CheckoutError(message: str, failed_files: Sequence[Union[str, PathLike[str]]], valid_files: Sequence[Union[str, PathLike[str]]], failed_reasons: List[str])

Thrown if a file could not be checked out from the index as it contained changes.

The .failed_files attribute contains a list of relative paths that failed to be checked out as they contained changes that did not exist in the index.

The .failed_reasons attribute contains a string informing about the actual cause of the issue.

The .valid_files attribute contains a list of relative paths to files that were checked out successfully and hence match the version stored in the index

__module__ = 'git.exc'

__str__() → str

Return str(self).

class git.index.base.IndexFile(repo: Repo, file_path: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]] = None)

Implements an Index that can be manipulated using a native implementation in order to save git command function calls wherever possible.

It provides custom merging facilities allowing to merge without actually changing your index or your working tree. This way you can perform own test-merges based on the index only without having to deal with the working copy. This is useful in case of partial working trees.

Entries

The index contains an entries dict whose keys are tuples of type IndexEntry to facilitate access.

You may read the entries dict or manipulate it using IndexEntry instance, i.e.:

index.entries[index.entry_key(index_entry_instance)] = index_entry_instance

Make sure you use index.write() once you are done manipulating the index directly before operating on it using the git command

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})

__annotations__ = {'_file_path': 'PathLike'}

__init__(repo: Repo, file_path: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]] = None) → None

Initialize this Index instance, optionally from the given file_path. If no file_path is given, we will be created from the current index file.

If a stream is not given, the stream will be initialized from the current repository’s index on demand.

add(items: ~typing.Sequence[~typing.Union[str, ~os.PathLike[str], ~git.objects.blob.Blob, ~git.index.typ.BaseIndexEntry, ~git.objects.submodule.base.Submodule]], force: bool = True, fprogress: ~typing.Callable = <function IndexFile.<lambda>>, path_rewriter: ~typing.Optional[~typing.Callable[[...], ~typing.Union[str, ~os.PathLike[str]]]] = None, write: bool = True, write_extension_data: bool = False) → List[BaseIndexEntry]

Add files from the working tree, specific blobs or BaseIndexEntries to the index.

Parameters:

• items –

  Multiple types of items are supported, types can be mixed within one call. Different types imply a different handling. File paths may generally be relative or absolute.

  • path string

    strings denote a relative or absolute path into the repository pointing to an existing file, i.e. CHANGES, lib/myfile.ext, ‘/home/gitrepo/lib/myfile.ext’.

    Absolute paths must start with working tree directory of this index’s repository to be considered valid. For example, if it was initialized with a non-normalized path, like /root/repo/../repo, absolute paths to be added must start with /root/repo/../repo.

    Paths provided like this must exist. When added, they will be written into the object database.

    PathStrings may contain globs, such as ‘lib/__init__*’ or can be directories like ‘lib’, the latter ones will add all the files within the directory and subdirectories.

    This equals a straight git-add.

    They are added at stage 0

  • Blob or Submodule object

    Blobs are added as they are assuming a valid mode is set. The file they refer to may or may not exist in the file system, but must be a path relative to our repository.

    If their sha is null ( 40*0 ), their path must exist in the file system relative to the git repository as an object will be created from the data at the path. The handling now very much equals the way string paths are processed, except that the mode you have set will be kept. This allows you to create symlinks by settings the mode respectively and writing the target of the symlink directly into the file. This equals a default Linux-Symlink which is not dereferenced automatically, except that it can be created on filesystems not supporting it as well.

    Please note that globs or directories are not allowed in Blob objects.

    They are added at stage 0

  • BaseIndexEntry or type

    Handling equals the one of Blob objects, but the stage may be explicitly set. Please note that Index Entries require binary sha’s.

• force – CURRENTLY INEFFECTIVE If True, otherwise ignored or excluded files will be added anyway. As opposed to the git-add command, we enable this flag by default as the API user usually wants the item to be added even though they might be excluded.

• fprogress – Function with signature f(path, done=False, item=item) called for each path to be added, one time once it is about to be added where done==False and once after it was added where done=True. item is set to the actual item we handle, either a Path or a BaseIndexEntry Please note that the processed path is not guaranteed to be present in the index already as the index is currently being processed.

• path_rewriter – Function with signature (string) func(BaseIndexEntry) function returning a path for each passed entry which is the path to be actually recorded for the object created from entry.path. This allows you to write an index which is not identical to the layout of the actual files on your hard-disk. If not None and items contain plain paths, these paths will be converted to Entries beforehand and passed to the path_rewriter. Please note that entry.path is relative to the git repository.

• write – If True, the index will be written once it was altered. Otherwise the changes only exist in memory and are not available to git commands.

• write_extension_data – If True, extension data will be written back to the index. This can lead to issues in case it is containing the ‘TREE’ extension, which will cause the git commit command to write an old tree, instead of a new one representing the now changed index. This doesn’t matter if you use IndexFile.commit(), which ignores the TREE extension altogether. You should set it to True if you intend to use IndexFile.commit() exclusively while maintaining support for third-party extensions. Besides that, you can usually safely ignore the built-in extensions when using GitPython on repositories that are not handled manually at all. All current built-in extensions are listed here: http://opensource.apple.com/source/Git/Git-26/src/git-htmldocs/technical/index-format.txt

Returns:

List(BaseIndexEntries) representing the entries just actually added.

Raises:

OSError – if a supplied Path did not exist. Please note that BaseIndexEntry Objects that do not have a null sha will be added even if their paths do not exist.

checkout(paths: ~typing.Union[None, ~typing.Iterable[~typing.Union[str, ~os.PathLike[str]]]] = None, force: bool = False, fprogress: ~typing.Callable = <function IndexFile.<lambda>>, **kwargs: ~typing.Any) → Union[None, Iterator[Union[str, PathLike[str]]], Sequence[Union[str, PathLike[str]]]]

Checkout the given paths or all files from the version known to the index into the working tree.

Note:

Be sure you have written pending changes using the write method in case you have altered the enties dictionary directly

Parameters:

• paths – If None, all paths in the index will be checked out. Otherwise an iterable of relative or absolute paths or a single path pointing to files or directories in the index is expected.

• force – If True, existing files will be overwritten even if they contain local modifications. If False, these will trigger a CheckoutError.

• fprogress – see IndexFile.add() for signature and explanation. The provided progress information will contain None as path and item if no explicit paths are given. Otherwise progress information will be send prior and after a file has been checked out

• kwargs – Additional arguments to be passed to git-checkout-index

Returns:

iterable yielding paths to files which have been checked out and are guaranteed to match the version stored in the index

Raises:

exc.CheckoutError – If at least one file failed to be checked out. This is a summary, hence it will checkout as many files as it can anyway. If one of files or directories do not exist in the index ( as opposed to the original git command who ignores them ). Raise GitCommandError if error lines could not be parsed - this truly is an exceptional state

Note

The checkout is limited to checking out the files in the index. Files which are not in the index anymore and exist in the working tree will not be deleted. This behaviour is fundamentally different to head.checkout, i.e. if you want git-checkout like behaviour, use head.checkout instead of index.checkout.

commit(message: str, parent_commits: Optional[Union[Commit, TagObject, Blob, Tree]] = None, head: bool = True, author: Union[None, Actor] = None, committer: Union[None, Actor] = None, author_date: Optional[Union[datetime, str]] = None, commit_date: Optional[Union[datetime, str]] = None, skip_hooks: bool = False) → Commit

Commit the current default index file, creating a commit object. For more information on the arguments, see Commit.create_from_tree().

Note:

If you have manually altered the .entries member of this instance, don’t forget to write() your changes to disk beforehand. Passing skip_hooks=True is the equivalent of using -n or –no-verify on the command line.

Returns:

Commit object representing the new commit

diff(other: ~typing.Optional[~typing.Union[~typing.Type[~git.diff.Diffable.Index], ~git.objects.tree.Tree, ~git.objects.commit.Commit, str]] = <class 'git.diff.Diffable.Index'>, paths: ~typing.Optional[~typing.Union[str, ~os.PathLike[str], ~typing.List[~typing.Union[str, ~os.PathLike[str]]], ~typing.Tuple[~typing.Union[str, ~os.PathLike[str]], ...]]] = None, create_patch: bool = False, **kwargs: ~typing.Any) → DiffIndex

Diff this index against the working copy or a Tree or Commit object

For a documentation of the parameters and return values, see, Diffable.diff

Note:

Will only work with indices that represent the default git index as they have not been initialized with a stream.

classmethod entry_key(*entry: Union[BaseIndexEntry, str, PathLike[str], int]) → Tuple[Union[str, PathLike[str]], int]

classmethod from_tree(repo: Repo, *treeish: Union[Tree, Commit, str, bytes], **kwargs: Any) → IndexFile

Merge the given treeish revisions into a new index which is returned. The original index will remain unaltered

Parameters:

• repo – The repository treeish are located in.

• treeish – One, two or three Tree Objects, Commits or 40 byte hexshas. The result changes according to the amount of trees. If 1 Tree is given, it will just be read into a new index If 2 Trees are given, they will be merged into a new index using a two way merge algorithm. Tree 1 is the ‘current’ tree, tree 2 is the ‘other’ one. It behaves like a fast-forward. If 3 Trees are given, a 3-way merge will be performed with the first tree being the common ancestor of tree 2 and tree 3. Tree 2 is the ‘current’ tree, tree 3 is the ‘other’ one

• kwargs – Additional arguments passed to git-read-tree

Returns:

New IndexFile instance. It will point to a temporary index location which does not exist anymore. If you intend to write such a merged Index, supply an alternate file_path to its ‘write’ method.

Note:

In the three-way merge case, –aggressive will be specified to automatically resolve more cases in a commonly correct manner. Specify trivial=True as kwarg to override that.

As the underlying git-read-tree command takes into account the current index, it will be temporarily moved out of the way to assure there are no unsuspected interferences.

iter_blobs(predicate: ~typing.Callable[[~typing.Tuple[int, ~git.objects.blob.Blob]], bool] = <function IndexFile.<lambda>>) → Iterator[Tuple[int, Blob]]

Returns:

Iterator yielding tuples of Blob objects and stages, tuple(stage, Blob)

Parameters:

predicate – Function(t) returning True if tuple(stage, Blob) should be yielded by the iterator. A default filter, the BlobFilter, allows you to yield blobs only if they match a given list of paths.

merge_tree(rhs: Union[Tree, Commit, str, bytes], base: Union[None, Tree, Commit, str, bytes] = None) → IndexFile

Merge the given rhs treeish into the current index, possibly taking a common base treeish into account.

As opposed to the IndexFile.from_tree() method, this allows you to use an already existing tree as the left side of the merge

Parameters:

• rhs – treeish reference pointing to the ‘other’ side of the merge.

• base – optional treeish reference pointing to the common base of ‘rhs’ and this index which equals lhs

Returns:

self ( containing the merge and possibly unmerged entries in case of conflicts )

Raises:

GitCommandError – If there is a merge conflict. The error will be raised at the first conflicting path. If you want to have proper merge resolution to be done by yourself, you have to commit the changed index ( or make a valid tree from it ) and retry with a three-way index.from_tree call.

move(items: Sequence[Union[str, PathLike[str], Blob, BaseIndexEntry, Submodule]], skip_errors: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → List[Tuple[str, str]]

Rename/move the items, whereas the last item is considered the destination of the move operation. If the destination is a file, the first item ( of two ) must be a file as well. If the destination is a directory, it may be preceded by one or more directories or files.

The working tree will be affected in non-bare repositories.

Parma items:

Multiple types of items are supported, please see the ‘remove’ method for reference.

Parameters:

• skip_errors – If True, errors such as ones resulting from missing source files will be skipped.

• kwargs – Additional arguments you would like to pass to git-mv, such as dry_run or force.

:return:List(tuple(source_path_string, destination_path_string), …)

A list of pairs, containing the source file moved as well as its actual destination. Relative to the repository root.

Raises:

ValueError – If only one item was given GitCommandError: If git could not handle your request

classmethod new(repo: Repo, *tree_sha: Union[str, Tree]) → IndexFile

Merge the given treeish revisions into a new index which is returned. This method behaves like git-read-tree –aggressive when doing the merge.

Parameters:

• repo – The repository treeish are located in.

• tree_sha – 20 byte or 40 byte tree sha or tree objects

Returns:

New IndexFile instance. Its path will be undefined. If you intend to write such a merged Index, supply an alternate file_path to its ‘write’ method.

property path: Union[str, PathLike[str]]

Returns:

Path to the index file we are representing

remove(items: Sequence[Union[str, PathLike[str], Blob, BaseIndexEntry, Submodule]], working_tree: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → List[str]

Remove the given items from the index and optionally from the working tree as well.

Parameters:

• items –

  Multiple types of items are supported which may be be freely mixed.

  • path string

    Remove the given path at all stages. If it is a directory, you must specify the r=True keyword argument to remove all file entries below it. If absolute paths are given, they will be converted to a path relative to the git repository directory containing the working tree

    The path string may include globs, such as *.c.

  • Blob Object

    Only the path portion is used in this case.

  • BaseIndexEntry or compatible type

    The only relevant information here Yis the path. The stage is ignored.

• working_tree – If True, the entry will also be removed from the working tree, physically removing the respective file. This may fail if there are uncommitted changes in it.

• kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to be passed to git-rm, such as ‘r’ to allow recursive removal of

Returns:

List(path_string, …) list of repository relative paths that have been removed effectively. This is interesting to know in case you have provided a directory or globs. Paths are relative to the repository.

repo

reset(commit: Union[Commit, Reference, str] = 'HEAD', working_tree: bool = False, paths: Union[None, Iterable[Union[str, PathLike[str]]]] = None, head: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → IndexFile

Reset the index to reflect the tree at the given commit. This will not adjust our HEAD reference as opposed to HEAD.reset by default.

Parameters:

• commit – Revision, Reference or Commit specifying the commit we should represent. If you want to specify a tree only, use IndexFile.from_tree and overwrite the default index.

• working_tree – If True, the files in the working tree will reflect the changed index. If False, the working tree will not be touched Please note that changes to the working copy will be discarded without warning !

• head – If True, the head will be set to the given commit. This is False by default, but if True, this method behaves like HEAD.reset.

• paths – if given as an iterable of absolute or repository-relative paths, only these will be reset to their state at the given commit’ish. The paths need to exist at the commit, otherwise an exception will be raised.

• kwargs – Additional keyword arguments passed to git-reset

Note

IndexFile.reset, as opposed to HEAD.reset, will not delete anyfiles in order to maintain a consistent working tree. Instead, it will just checkout the files according to their state in the index. If you want git-reset like behaviour, use HEAD.reset instead.

Returns:

self

resolve_blobs(iter_blobs: Iterator[Blob]) → IndexFile

Resolve the blobs given in blob iterator. This will effectively remove the index entries of the respective path at all non-null stages and add the given blob as new stage null blob.

For each path there may only be one blob, otherwise a ValueError will be raised claiming the path is already at stage 0.

Raises:

ValueError – if one of the blobs already existed at stage 0

Returns:

self

Note:

You will have to write the index manually once you are done, i.e. index.resolve_blobs(blobs).write()

unmerged_blobs() → Dict[Union[str, PathLike[str]], List[Tuple[int, Blob]]]

Returns:

Dict(path : list( tuple( stage, Blob, …))), being a dictionary associating a path in the index with a list containing sorted stage/blob pairs

Note:

Blobs that have been removed in one side simply do not exist in the given stage. I.e. a file removed on the ‘other’ branch whose entries are at stage 3 will not have a stage 3 entry.

update() → IndexFile

Reread the contents of our index file, discarding all cached information we might have.

Note:

This is a possibly dangerious operations as it will discard your changes to index.entries

Returns:

self

version

write(file_path: Union[None, str, PathLike[str]] = None, ignore_extension_data: bool = False) → None

Write the current state to our file path or to the given one

Parameters:

• file_path – If None, we will write to our stored file path from which we have been initialized. Otherwise we write to the given file path. Please note that this will change the file_path of this index to the one you gave.

• ignore_extension_data – If True, the TREE type extension data read in the index will not be written to disk. NOTE that no extension data is actually written. Use this if you have altered the index and would like to use git-write-tree afterwards to create a tree representing your written changes. If this data is present in the written index, git-write-tree will instead write the stored/cached tree. Alternatively, use IndexFile.write_tree() to handle this case automatically

Returns:

self # does it? or returns None?

write_tree() → Tree

Writes this index to a corresponding Tree object into the repository’s object database and return it.

Returns:

Tree object representing this index

Note:

The tree will be written even if one or more objects the tree refers to does not yet exist in the object database. This could happen if you added Entries to the index directly.

Raises:

• ValueError – if there are no entries in the cache

• UnmergedEntriesError –

file_path

tmp_file_path

git.index.util.default_index(func: Callable[[...], _T]) → Callable[[...], _T]

Decorator assuring the wrapped method may only run if we are the default repository index. This is as we rely on git commands that operate on that index only.

git.index.util.git_working_dir(func: Callable[[...], _T]) → Callable[[...], _T]

Decorator which changes the current working dir to the one of the git repository in order to assure relative paths are handled correctly

git.index.util.post_clear_cache(func: Callable[[...], _T]) → Callable[[...], _T]

Decorator for functions that alter the index using the git command. This would invalidate our possibly existing entries dictionary which is why it must be deleted to allow it to be lazily reread later.

Note:

This decorator will not be required once all functions are implemented natively which in fact is possible, but probably not feasible performance wise.

GitCmd

class git.cmd.Git(working_dir: Union[None, str, PathLike[str]] = None)

The Git class manages communication with the Git binary.

It provides a convenient interface to calling the Git binary, such as in:

g = Git( git_dir )
g.init()                   # calls 'git init' program
rval = g.ls_files()        # calls 'git ls-files' program

Debugging

Set the GIT_PYTHON_TRACE environment variable print each invocation of the command to stdout. Set its value to ‘full’ to see details about the returned values.

Raises:

GitCommandError – if the return status is not 0

class CatFileContentStream(size: int, stream: IO[bytes])

Object representing a sized read-only stream returning the contents of an object. It behaves like a stream, but counts the data read and simulates an empty stream once our sized content region is empty. If not all data is read to the end of the objects’s lifetime, we read the rest to assure the underlying stream continues to work

__call__(**kwargs: Any) → Git

Specify command line options to the git executable for a subcommand call

Parameters:

kwargs – is a dict of keyword arguments. these arguments are passed as in _call_process but will be passed to the git command rather than the subcommand.

Examples::

git(work_tree=’/tmp’).difftool()

__getattr__(name: str) → Any

A convenience method as it allows to call the command as if it was an object. :return: Callable object that will execute call _call_process with your arguments.

__getstate__() → Dict[str, Any]

Helper for pickle.

__init__(working_dir: Union[None, str, PathLike[str]] = None)

Initialize this instance with:

Parameters:

Apart from the usual protocols (http, git, ssh), Git allows “remote helpers” that have the form <transport>::<address>, one of these helpers (ext::) can be used to invoke any arbitrary command.

See:

• https://git-scm.com/docs/gitremote-helpers

• https://git-scm.com/docs/git-remote-ext

clear_cache() → Git

Examples:

with self.custom_environment(GIT_SSH='/bin/ssh_wrapper'):
    repo.remotes.origin.fetch()

Parameters:

execute(command: Union[str, Sequence[Any]], *, with_extended_output: Literal[False], as_process: Literal[False], stdout_as_string: Literal[True]) → str

execute(command: Union[str, Sequence[Any]], *, with_extended_output: Literal[False], as_process: Literal[False], stdout_as_string: Literal[False]) → bytes

Handles executing the command on the shell and consumes and returns

the returned information (stdout)

param command:

The command argument list to execute. It should be a string, or a sequence of program arguments. The program to execute is the first item in the args sequence or string.

param istream:

Standard input filehandle passed to subprocess.Popen.

param with_extended_output:

Whether to return a (status, stdout, stderr) tuple.

param with_exceptions:

Whether to raise an exception when git returns a non-zero status.

param as_process:

Whether to return the created process instance directly from which streams can be read on demand. This will render with_extended_output and with_exceptions ineffective - the caller will have to deal with the details himself. It is important to note that the process will be placed into an AutoInterrupt wrapper that will interrupt the process once it goes out of scope. If you use the command in iterators, you should pass the whole process instance instead of a single stream.

param output_stream:

If set to a file-like object, data produced by the git command will be output to the given stream directly. This feature only has any effect if as_process is False. Processes will always be created with a pipe due to issues with subprocess. This merely is a workaround as data will be copied from the output pipe to the given output stream directly. Judging from the implementation, you shouldn’t use this flag !

param stdout_as_string:

if False, the commands standard output will be bytes. Otherwise, it will be decoded into a string using the default encoding (usually utf-8). The latter can fail, if the output contains binary data.

param env:

A dictionary of environment variables to be passed to subprocess.Popen.

param max_chunk_size:

Maximum number of bytes in one chunk of data passed to the output_stream in one invocation of write() method. If the given number is not positive then the default value is used.

param subprocess_kwargs:

Keyword arguments to be passed to subprocess.Popen. Please note that some of the valid kwargs are already set by this method, the ones you specify may not be the same ones.

param with_stdout:

If True, default True, we open stdout on the created process

param universal_newlines:

if True, pipes will be opened as text, and lines are split at all known line endings.

param shell:

Whether to invoke commands through a shell (see Popen(…, shell=True)). It overrides USE_SHELL if it is not None.

param kill_after_timeout:

To specify a timeout in seconds for the git command, after which the process should be killed. This will have no effect if as_process is set to True. It is set to None by default and will let the process run until the timeout is explicitly specified. This feature is not supported on Windows. It’s also worth noting that kill_after_timeout uses SIGKILL, which can have negative side effects on a repository. For example, stale locks in case of git gc could render the repository incapable of accepting changes until the lock is manually removed.

param strip_newline_in_stdout:

Whether to strip the trailing `

` of the command stdout.

return:

• str(output) if extended_output = False (Default)

• tuple(int(status), str(stdout), str(stderr)) if extended_output = True

if output_stream is True, the stdout value will be your output stream: * output_stream if extended_output = False * tuple(int(status), output_stream, str(stderr)) if extended_output = True

Note git is executed with LC_MESSAGES=”C” to ensure consistent output regardless of system language.

raise GitCommandError:

note:

If you add additional keyword arguments to the signature of this method, you must update the execute_kwargs tuple housed in this module.

get_object_data(ref: str) → Tuple[str, str, int, bytes]

As get_object_header, but returns object data as well :return: (hexsha, type_string, size_as_int,data_string) :note: not threadsafe

get_object_header(ref: str) → Tuple[str, str, int]

Use this method to quickly examine the type and size of the object behind the given ref.

Note:

The method will only suffer from the costs of command invocation once and reuses the command in subsequent calls.

Returns:

(hexsha, type_string, size_as_int)

git_exec_name = 'git'

classmethod is_cygwin() → bool

classmethod polish_url(url: str, is_cygwin: Literal[False] = None) → str

re_unsafe_protocol = re.compile('(.+)::.+')

classmethod refresh(path: Union[None, str, PathLike[str]] = None) → bool

This gets called by the refresh function (see the top level __init__).

set_persistent_git_options(**kwargs: Any) → None

Specify command line options to the git executable for subsequent subcommand calls

Parameters:

kwargs – is a dict of keyword arguments. these arguments are passed as in _call_process but will be passed to the git command rather than the subcommand.

stream_object_data(ref: str) → Tuple[str, str, int, CatFileContentStream]

As get_object_header, but returns the data as a stream

Returns:

(hexsha, type_string, size_as_int, stream)

Note:

This method is not threadsafe, you need one independent Command instance per thread to be safe !

transform_kwarg(name: str, value: Any, split_single_char_options: bool) → List[str]

transform_kwargs(split_single_char_options: bool = True, **kwargs: Any) → List[str]

Transforms Python style kwargs into git command line options.

update_environment(**kwargs: Any) → Dict[str, Optional[str]]

Examples:

old_env = self.update_environment(PWD='/tmp')
self.update_environment(**old_env)

Parameters:

kwargs – environment variables to use for git processes

Returns:

dict that maps environment variables to their old values

property version_info: Tuple[int, int, int, int]

Returns:

tuple(int, int, int, int) tuple with integers representing the major, minor and additional version numbers as parsed from git version. This value is generated on demand and is cached

property working_dir: Union[None, str, PathLike[str]]

Returns:

Git directory we are working on

Diff

class git.diff.Diff(repo: Repo, a_rawpath: Optional[bytes], b_rawpath: Optional[bytes], a_blob_id: Optional[Union[str, bytes]], b_blob_id: Optional[Union[str, bytes]], a_mode: Optional[Union[bytes, str]], b_mode: Optional[Union[bytes, str]], new_file: bool, deleted_file: bool, copied_file: bool, raw_rename_from: Optional[bytes], raw_rename_to: Optional[bytes], diff: Optional[Union[str, bytes]], change_type: Optional[Literal['A', 'D', 'C', 'M', 'R', 'T', 'U']], score: Optional[int])

A Diff contains diff information between two Trees.

It contains two sides a and b of the diff, members are prefixed with “a” and “b” respectively to inidcate that.

Diffs keep information about the changed blob objects, the file mode, renames, deletions and new files.

There are a few cases where None has to be expected as member variable value:

New File:

a_mode is None
a_blob is None
a_path is None

Deleted File:

b_mode is None
b_blob is None
b_path is None

Working Tree Blobs

When comparing to working trees, the working tree blob will have a null hexsha as a corresponding object does not yet exist. The mode will be null as well. But the path will be available though. If it is listed in a diff the working tree version of the file must be different to the version in the index or tree, and hence has been modified.

NULL_BIN_SHA = b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'

class git.diff.Diffable

Common interface for all object that can be diffed against another object of compatible type.

Note:

Subclasses require a repo member as it is the case for Object instances, for practical reasons we do not derive from Object.

Creates diffs between two items being trees, trees and index or an index and the working tree. It will detect renames automatically.

Parameters:

• other – Is the item to compare us with. If None, we will be compared to the working tree. If Treeish, it will be compared against the respective tree If Index ( type ), it will be compared against the index. If git.NULL_TREE, it will compare against the empty tree. It defaults to Index to assure the method will not by-default fail on bare repositories.

• paths – is a list of paths or a single path to limit the diff to. It will only include at least one of the given path or paths.

• create_patch – If True, the returned Diff contains a detailed patch that if applied makes the self to other. Patches are somewhat costly as blobs have to be read and diffed.

• kwargs – Additional arguments passed to git-diff, such as R=True to swap both sides of the diff.

Returns:

git.DiffIndex

Note:

On a bare repository, ‘other’ needs to be provided as Index or as as Tree/Commit, or a git command error will occur

class git.refs.symbolic.SymbolicReference(repo: Repo, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], check_path: bool = False)

Represents a special case of a reference such that this reference is symbolic. It does not point to a specific commit, but to another Head, which itself specifies a commit.

A typical example for a symbolic reference is HEAD.

classmethod create(repo: Repo, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], reference: Union[SymbolicReference, str] = 'HEAD', logmsg: Optional[str] = None, force: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → T_References

Create a new symbolic reference, hence a reference pointing , to another reference.

Parameters:

• repo – Repository to create the reference in

• path – full path at which the new symbolic reference is supposed to be created at, i.e. “NEW_HEAD” or “symrefs/my_new_symref”

• reference – The reference to which the new symbolic reference should point to. If it is a commit’ish, the symbolic ref will be detached.

• force – if True, force creation even if a symbolic reference with that name already exists. Raise OSError otherwise

• logmsg – If not None, the message to append to the reflog. Otherwise no reflog entry is written.

Returns:

Newly created symbolic Reference

Raises:

OSError – If a (Symbolic)Reference with the same name but different contents already exists.

Note:

This does not alter the current HEAD, index or Working Tree

classmethod delete(repo: Repo, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → None

Delete the reference at the given path

Parameters:

• repo – Repository to delete the reference from

• path – Short or full path pointing to the reference, i.e. refs/myreference or just “myreference”, hence ‘refs/’ is implied. Alternatively the symbolic reference to be deleted

classmethod dereference_recursive(repo: Repo, ref_path: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]]) → str

Returns:

hexsha stored in the reference at the given ref_path, recursively dereferencing all intermediate references as required

Parameters:

repo – the repository containing the reference at ref_path

classmethod from_path(repo: Repo, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → T_References

Parameters:

path – full .git-directory-relative path name to the Reference to instantiate

Note:

use to_full_path() if you only have a partial path of a known Reference Type

Returns:

Instance of type Reference, Head, or Tag depending on the given path

property is_detached: bool

Returns:

True if we are a detached reference, hence we point to a specific commit instead to another reference

is_remote() → bool

Returns:

True if this symbolic reference points to a remote branch

is_valid() → bool

Returns:

True if the reference is valid, hence it can be read and points to a valid object or reference.

classmethod iter_items(repo: Repo, common_path: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]] = None, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → Iterator[T_References]

Find all refs in the repository

Parameters:

• repo – is the Repo

• common_path – Optional keyword argument to the path which is to be shared by all returned Ref objects. Defaults to class specific portion if None assuring that only refs suitable for the actual class are returned.

Returns:

git.SymbolicReference[], each of them is guaranteed to be a symbolic ref which is not detached and pointing to a valid ref

List is lexicographically sorted The returned objects represent actual subclasses, such as Head or TagReference

log() → RefLog

Returns:

RefLog for this reference. Its last entry reflects the latest change applied to this reference

Note

As the log is parsed every time, its recommended to cache it for use instead of calling this method repeatedly. It should be considered read-only.

log_append(oldbinsha: bytes, message: Optional[str], newbinsha: Optional[bytes] = None) → RefLogEntry

Append a logentry to the logfile of this ref

Parameters:

• oldbinsha – binary sha this ref used to point to

• message – A message describing the change

• newbinsha – The sha the ref points to now. If None, our current commit sha will be used

Returns:

added RefLogEntry instance

log_entry(index: int) → RefLogEntry

Returns:

RefLogEntry at the given index

Parameters:

index – python list compatible positive or negative index

Note

This method must read part of the reflog during execution, hence it should be used sparringly, or only if you need just one index. In that case, it will be faster than the log() method

property name: str

Returns:

In case of symbolic references, the shortest assumable name is the path itself.

property object: Union[Commit, TagObject, Blob, Tree]

Return the object our ref currently refers to

path

property ref: SymbolicReference

Returns the Reference we point to

property reference: SymbolicReference

Returns the Reference we point to

rename(new_path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], force: bool = False) → SymbolicReference

Rename self to a new path

Parameters:

• new_path – Either a simple name or a full path, i.e. new_name or features/new_name. The prefix refs/ is implied for references and will be set as needed. In case this is a symbolic ref, there is no implied prefix

• force – If True, the rename will succeed even if a head with the target name already exists. It will be overwritten in that case

Returns:

self

Raises:

OSError – In case a file at path but a different contents already exists

repo

set_commit(commit: Union[Commit, SymbolicReference, str], logmsg: Optional[str] = None) → SymbolicReference

As set_object, but restricts the type of object to be a Commit

Raises:

ValueError – If commit is not a Commit object or doesn’t point to a commit

Returns:

self

set_object(object: Union[Commit, TagObject, Blob, Tree, SymbolicReference, str], logmsg: Optional[str] = None) → SymbolicReference

Set the object we point to, possibly dereference our symbolic reference first. If the reference does not exist, it will be created

Parameters:

• object – a refspec, a SymbolicReference or an Object instance. SymbolicReferences will be dereferenced beforehand to obtain the object they point to

• logmsg – If not None, the message will be used in the reflog entry to be written. Otherwise the reflog is not altered

Note:

plain SymbolicReferences may not actually point to objects by convention

Returns:

self

set_reference(ref: Union[Commit, TagObject, Blob, Tree, SymbolicReference, str], logmsg: Optional[str] = None) → SymbolicReference

Set ourselves to the given ref. It will stay a symbol if the ref is a Reference. Otherwise an Object, given as Object instance or refspec, is assumed and if valid, will be set which effectively detaches the reference if it was a purely symbolic one.

Parameters:

• ref – SymbolicReference instance, Object instance or refspec string Only if the ref is a SymbolicRef instance, we will point to it. Everything else is dereferenced to obtain the actual object.

• logmsg –

  If set to a string, the message will be used in the reflog. Otherwise, a reflog entry is not written for the changed reference. The previous commit of the entry will be the commit we point to now.

  See also: log_append()

Returns:

self

Note:

This symbolic reference will not be dereferenced. For that, see set_object(...)

classmethod to_full_path(path: Union[str, PathLike[str], SymbolicReference]) → Union[str, PathLike[str]]

Returns:

string with a full repository-relative path which can be used to initialize a Reference instance, for instance by using Reference.from_path

Refs.reference

class git.refs.reference.Reference(repo: Repo, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], check_path: bool = True)

Represents a named reference to any object. Subclasses may apply restrictions though, i.e. Heads can only point to commits.

• index – If True, the index will be set to match the given commit. Otherwise it will not be touched.

• working_tree – If True, the working tree will be forcefully adjusted to match the given commit, possibly overwriting uncommitted changes without warning. If working_tree is True, index must be true as well

• paths – Single path or list of paths relative to the git root directory that are to be reset. This allows to partially reset individual files.

• kwargs – Additional arguments passed to git-reset.

Returns:

self

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).

__weakref__

list of weak references to the object (if defined)

checkout(force: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → Union[HEAD, Head]

Checkout this head by setting the HEAD to this reference, by updating the index to reflect the tree we point to and by updating the working tree to reflect the latest index.

The command will fail if changed working tree files would be overwritten.

Parameters:

• force – If True, changes to the index and the working tree will be discarded. If False, GitCommandError will be raised in that situation.

• kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to be passed to git checkout, i.e. b=’new_branch’ to create a new branch at the given spot.

Returns:

The active branch after the checkout operation, usually self unless a new branch has been created. If there is no active branch, as the HEAD is now detached, the HEAD reference will be returned instead.

Note:

By default it is only allowed to checkout heads - everything else will leave the HEAD detached which is allowed and possible, but remains a special state that some tools might not be able to handle.

config_reader() → SectionConstraint[GitConfigParser]

Returns:

A configuration parser instance constrained to only read this instance’s values

config_writer() → SectionConstraint[GitConfigParser]

Returns:

• force – If True, the rename will succeed even if a head with the target name already exists.

Returns:

self

Note:

respects the ref log as git commands are used

set_tracking_branch(remote_reference: Optional[RemoteReference]) → Head

Configure this branch to track the given remote reference. This will alter

this branch’s configuration accordingly.

Parameters:

remote_reference – The remote reference to track or None to untrack any references

Returns:

self

tracking_branch() → Optional[RemoteReference]

Returns:

The remote_reference we are tracking, or None if we are not a tracking branch

Refs.tag

git.refs.tag.Tag

__subclasshook__()

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).

property commit: Commit

Returns:

Commit object the tag ref points to

Raises:

ValueError – if the tag points to a tree or blob

classmethod create(repo: Repo, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], reference: Union[str, SymbolicReference] = 'HEAD', logmsg: Optional[str] = None, force: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → TagReference

Create a new tag reference.

Parameters:

• path – The name of the tag, i.e. 1.0 or releases/1.0. The prefix refs/tags is implied

• ref – A reference to the Object you want to tag. The Object can be a commit, tree or blob.

• logmsg –

  If not None, the message will be used in your tag object. This will also create an additional tag object that allows to obtain that information, i.e.:

  tagref.tag.message
  

• message – Synonym for :param logmsg: Included for backwards compatibility. :param logmsg is used in preference if both given.

• force – If True, to force creation of a tag even though that tag already exists.

• kwargs – Additional keyword arguments to be passed to git-tag

Returns:

A new TagReference

classmethod delete(repo: Repo, *tags: TagReference) → None

Delete the given existing tag or tags

property object: Union[Commit, TagObject, Blob, Tree]

Return the object our ref currently refers to

property tag: Optional[TagObject]

Returns:

Tag object this tag ref points to or None in case we are a light weight tag

Refs.remote

class git.refs.remote.RemoteReference(repo: Repo, path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], check_path: bool = True)

classmethod create(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → NoReturn

Used to disable this method

classmethod delete(repo: Repo, *refs: RemoteReference, **kwargs: Any) → None

Delete the given remote references

Note:

kwargs are given for comparability with the base class method as we should not narrow the signature.

classmethod iter_items(repo: Repo, common_path: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]] = None, remote: Optional[Remote] = None, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → Iterator[RemoteReference]

Iterate remote references, and if given, constrain them to the given remote

Refs.log

class git.refs.log.RefLog(filepath: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]] = None)

A reflog contains RefLogEntrys, each of which defines a certain state of the head in question. Custom query methods allow to retrieve log entries by date or by other criteria.

Reflog entries are ordered, the first added entry is first in the list, the last entry, i.e. the last change of the head or reference, is last in the list.

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})

__annotations__ = {}

__init__(filepath: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]] = None)

Initialize this instance with an optional filepath, from which we will initialize our data. The path is also used to write changes back using the write() method

__module__ = 'git.refs.log'

static __new__(cls, filepath: Optional[Union[str, PathLike[str]]] = None) → RefLog

__orig_bases__ = (typing.List[git.refs.log.RefLogEntry], <class 'git.objects.util.Serializable'>)

__parameters__ = ()

__slots__ = ('_path',)

classmethod append_entry(config_reader: Optional[Union[Actor, GitConfigParser, SectionConstraint]], filepath: Union[str, PathLike[str]], oldbinsha: bytes, newbinsha: bytes, message: str, write: bool = True) → RefLogEntry

Append a new log entry to the revlog at filepath.

Parameters:

• config_reader – configuration reader of the repository - used to obtain user information. May also be an Actor instance identifying the committer directly or None.

• filepath – full path to the log file

• oldbinsha – binary sha of the previous commit

• newbinsha – binary sha of the current commit

• message – message describing the change to the reference

• write – If True, the changes will be written right away. Otherwise the change will not be written

Returns:

RefLogEntry objects which was appended to the log

Note:

As we are append-only, concurrent access is not a problem as we do not interfere with readers.

classmethod entry_at(filepath: Union[str, PathLike[str]], index: int) → RefLogEntry

Returns:

RefLogEntry at the given index

Parameters:

• filepath – full path to the index file from which to read the entry

• index – python list compatible index, i.e. it may be negative to specify an entry counted from the end of the list

Raises:

IndexError – If the entry didn’t exist

Note

This method is faster as it only parses the entry at index, skipping all other lines. Nonetheless, the whole file has to be read if the index is negative

classmethod from_file(filepath: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → RefLog

Returns:

a new RefLog instance containing all entries from the reflog at the given filepath

Parameters:

filepath – path to reflog

Raises:

ValueError – If the file could not be read or was corrupted in some way

classmethod iter_entries(stream: Union[str, BytesIO, mmap]) → Iterator[RefLogEntry]

Returns:

Iterator yielding RefLogEntry instances, one for each line read sfrom the given stream.

Parameters:

stream – file-like object containing the revlog in its native format or string instance pointing to a file to read

classmethod path(ref: SymbolicReference) → str

Returns:

string to absolute path at which the reflog of the given ref instance would be found. The path is not guaranteed to point to a valid file though.

Parameters:

ref – SymbolicReference instance

to_file(filepath: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → None

Write the contents of the reflog instance to a file at the given filepath. :param filepath: path to file, parent directories are assumed to exist

write() → RefLog

Write this instance’s data to the file we are originating from :return: self

summary

class git.remote.Remote(repo: Repo, name: str)

Provides easy read and write access to a git remote.

Everything not part of this interface is considered an option for the current remote, allowing constructs like remote.pushurl to query the pushurl.

NOTE: When querying configuration, the configuration accessor will be cached to speed up subsequent accesses.

__abstractmethods__ = frozenset({})

__annotations__ = {'_id_attribute_': 'str', 'url': 'str'}

__eq__(other: object) → bool

Return self==value.

__getattr__(attr: str) → Any

Allows to call this instance like remote.special( *args, **kwargs) to call git-remote special self.name

__hash__() → int

Return hash(self).

__init__(repo: Repo, name: str) → None

Initialize a remote instance

Parameters:

• repo – The repository we are a remote of

• name – the name of the remote, i.e. ‘origin’

__module__ = 'git.remote'

__ne__(other: object) → bool

Return self!=value.

__parameters__ = ()

__repr__() → str

Return repr(self).

__slots__ = ('repo', 'name', '_config_reader')

__str__() → str

Return str(self).

__subclasshook__()

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).

classmethod add(repo: Repo, name: str, url: str, **kwargs: Any) → Remote

add_url(url: str, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → Remote

Adds a new url on current remote (special case of git remote set_url)

This command adds new URLs to a given remote, making it possible to have multiple URLs for a single remote.

Parameters:

url – string being the URL to add as an extra remote URL

Returns:

self

property config_reader: SectionConstraint[GitConfigParser]

Returns:

GitConfigParser compatible object able to read options for only our remote. Hence you may simple type config.get(“pushurl”) to obtain the information

property config_writer: SectionConstraint

Returns:

GitConfigParser compatible object able to write options for this remote.

Note:

You can only own one writer at a time - delete it to release the configuration file and make it usable by others.

To assure consistent results, you should only query options through the writer. Once you are done writing, you are free to use the config reader once again.

classmethod create(repo: Repo, name: str, url: str, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → Remote

Create a new remote to the given repository :param repo: Repository instance that is to receive the new remote :param name: Desired name of the remote :param url: URL which corresponds to the remote’s name :param kwargs: Additional arguments to be passed to the git-remote add command :return: New Remote instance :raise GitCommandError: in case an origin with that name already exists

delete_url(url: str, **kwargs: Any) → Remote

Deletes a new url on current remote (special case of git remote set_url)

This command deletes new URLs to a given remote, making it possible to have multiple URLs for a single remote.

Parameters:

url – string being the URL to delete from the remote

Returns:

self

exists() → bool

Returns:

True if this is a valid, existing remote. Valid remotes have an entry in the repository’s configuration

fetch(refspec: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]] = None, progress: Union[RemoteProgress, None, UpdateProgress] = None, verbose: bool = True, kill_after_timeout: Union[None, float] = None, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False, allow_unsafe_options: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → IterableList[FetchInfo]

Fetch the latest changes for this remote

Parameters:

• refspec –

  A “refspec” is used by fetch and push to describe the mapping between remote ref and local ref. They are combined with a colon in the format <src>:<dst>, preceded by an optional plus sign, +. For example: git fetch $URL refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin means “grab the master branch head from the $URL and store it as my origin branch head”. And git push $URL refs/heads/master:refs/heads/to-upstream means “publish my master branch head as to-upstream branch at $URL”. See also git-push(1).

  Taken from the git manual

  Fetch supports multiple refspecs (as the underlying git-fetch does) - supplying a list rather than a string for ‘refspec’ will make use of this facility.

• progress – See ‘push’ method

• verbose – Boolean for verbose output

• kill_after_timeout – To specify a timeout in seconds for the git command, after which the process should be killed. It is set to None by default.

• kwargs – Additional arguments to be passed to git-fetch

Returns:

IterableList(FetchInfo, …) list of FetchInfo instances providing detailed information about the fetch results

Note:

As fetch does not provide progress information to non-ttys, we cannot make it available here unfortunately as in the ‘push’ method.

classmethod iter_items(repo: Repo, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → Iterator[Remote]

Returns:

Iterator yielding Remote objects of the given repository

name

pull(refspec: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]] = None, progress: Optional[Union[RemoteProgress, UpdateProgress]] = None, kill_after_timeout: Union[None, float] = None, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False, allow_unsafe_options: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → IterableList[FetchInfo]

Pull changes from the given branch, being the same as a fetch followed by a merge of branch with your local branch.

Parameters:

• refspec – see ‘fetch’ method

• progress – see ‘push’ method

• kill_after_timeout – see ‘fetch’ method

• kwargs – Additional arguments to be passed to git-pull

Returns:

Please see ‘fetch’ method

push(refspec: Optional[Union[str, List[str]]] = None, progress: Optional[Union[RemoteProgress, UpdateProgress, Callable[[...], RemoteProgress]]] = None, kill_after_timeout: Union[None, float] = None, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False, allow_unsafe_options: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → PushInfoList

Push changes from source branch in refspec to target branch in refspec.

Parameters:

• refspec – see ‘fetch’ method

• progress –

  Can take one of many value types:

  • None to discard progress information

  • A function (callable) that is called with the progress information. Signature: progress(op_code, cur_count, max_count=None, message=''). Click here for a description of all arguments given to the function.

  • An instance of a class derived from git.RemoteProgress that overrides the update() function.

• kill_after_timeout – To specify a timeout in seconds for the git command, after which the process should be killed. It is set to None by default.

• kwargs – Additional arguments to be passed to git-push

Note:

No further progress information is returned after push returns.

Returns:

A PushInfoList object, where each list member represents an individual head which had been updated on the remote side. If the push contains rejected heads, these will have the PushInfo.ERROR bit set in their flags. If the operation fails completely, the length of the returned PushInfoList will be 0. Call .raise_if_error() on the returned object to raise on any failure.

property refs: IterableList[RemoteReference]

Returns:

IterableList of RemoteReference objects. It is prefixed, allowing you to omit the remote path portion, i.e.:: remote.refs.master # yields RemoteReference(‘/refs/remotes/origin/master’)

classmethod remove(repo: Repo, name: str) → str

Remove the remote with the given name :return: the passed remote name to remove

rename(new_name: str) → Remote

Rename self to the given new_name :return: self

repo

classmethod rm(repo: Repo, name: str) → str

Remove the remote with the given name :return: the passed remote name to remove

set_url(new_url: str, old_url: Optional[str] = None, allow_unsafe_protocols: bool = False, **kwargs: Any) → Remote

Configure URLs on current remote (cf command git remote set_url)

This command manages URLs on the remote.

Parameters:

• new_url – string being the URL to add as an extra remote URL

• old_url – when set, replaces this URL with new_url for the remote

Returns:

self

property stale_refs: IterableList[Reference]

Returns:

IterableList RemoteReference objects that do not have a corresponding head in the remote reference anymore as they have been deleted on the remote side, but are still available locally.

The IterableList is prefixed, hence the ‘origin’ must be omitted. See ‘refs’ property for an example.

To make things more complicated, it can be possible for the list to include other kinds of references, for example, tag references, if these are stale as well. This is a fix for the issue described here: https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/issues/260

unsafe_git_fetch_options = ['--upload-pack']

unsafe_git_pull_options = ['--upload-pack']

unsafe_git_push_options = ['--receive-pack', '--exec']

update(**kwargs: Any) → Remote

Fetch all changes for this remote, including new branches which will be forced in ( in case your local remote branch is not part the new remote branches ancestry anymore ).

Parameters:

kwargs – Additional arguments passed to git-remote update

Returns:

self

property urls: Iterator[str]

Returns:

Iterator yielding all configured URL targets on a remote as strings

  Integer allowing to be compared against Operation IDs and stage IDs.

  Stage IDs are BEGIN and END. BEGIN will only be set once for each Operation ID as well as END. It may be that BEGIN and END are set at once in case only one progress message was emitted due to the speed of the operation. Between BEGIN and END, none of these flags will be set

  Operation IDs are all held within the OP_MASK. Only one Operation ID will be active per call.

• cur_count – Current absolute count of items

• max_count – The maximum count of items we expect. It may be None in case there is no maximum number of items or if it is (yet) unknown.

• message – In case of the ‘WRITING’ operation, it contains the amount of bytes transferred. It may possibly be used for other purposes as well.

You may read the contents of the current line in self._cur_line

class git.util.IterableObj(*args, **kwargs)

Defines an interface for iterable items which is to assure a uniform way to retrieve and iterate items within the git repository

__subclasshook__()

Abstract classes can override this to customize issubclass().

This is invoked early on by abc.ABCMeta.__subclasscheck__(). It should return True, False or NotImplemented. If it returns NotImplemented, the normal algorithm is used. Otherwise, it overrides the normal algorithm (and the outcome is cached).

abstract classmethod iter_items(repo: Repo, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → Iterator[T_IterableObj]

For more information about the arguments, see list_items :return: iterator yielding Items

classmethod list_items(repo: Repo, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any) → IterableList[T_IterableObj]

Find all items of this type - subclasses can specify args and kwargs differently. If no args are given, subclasses are obliged to return all items if no additional arguments arg given.

Note:

Favor the iter_items method as it will

:return:list(Item,…) list of item instances

class git.util.LockFile(file_path: Union[str, PathLike[str]])

Provides methods to obtain, check for, and release a file based lock which should be used to handle concurrent access to the same file.

As we are a utility class to be derived from, we only use protected methods.

Locks will automatically be released on destruction

line_dropped(line: str) → None

Called whenever a line could not be understood and was therefore dropped.

new_message_handler() → Callable[[str], None]

Returns:

a progress handler suitable for handle_process_output(), passing lines on to this Progress handler in a suitable format

other_lines: List[str]

re_op_absolute = re.compile('(remote: )?([\\w\\s]+):\\s+()(\\d+)()(.*)')

update(op_code: int, cur_count: Union[str, float], max_count: Optional[Union[str, float]] = None, message: str = '') → None

Called whenever the progress changes

Parameters:

• op_code –

  Integer allowing to be compared against Operation IDs and stage IDs.

  Stage IDs are BEGIN and END. BEGIN will only be set once for each Operation ID as well as END. It may be that BEGIN and END are set at once in case only one progress message was emitted due to the speed of the operation. Between BEGIN and END, none of these flags will be set

  Operation IDs are all held within the OP_MASK. Only one Operation ID will be active per call.

• cur_count – Current absolute count of items

• max_count – The maximum count of items we expect. It may be None in case there is no maximum number of items or if it is (yet) unknown.

• message – In case of the ‘WRITING’ operation, it contains the amount of bytes transferred. It may possibly be used for other purposes as well.

You may read the contents of the current line in self._cur_line

class git.util.Stats(total: Total_TD, files: Dict[Union[str, PathLike[str]], Files_TD])

Represents stat information as presented by git at the end of a merge. It is created from the output of a diff operation.

Example:

c = Commit( sha1 )
s = c.stats
s.total         # full-stat-dict
s.files         # dict( filepath : stat-dict )

stat-dict

A dictionary with the following keys and values:

deletions = number of deleted lines as int
insertions = number of inserted lines as int
lines = total number of lines changed as int, or deletions + insertions

full-stat-dict

In addition to the items in the stat-dict, it features additional information:

files = number of changed files as int

__init__(total: Total_TD, files: Dict[Union[str, PathLike[str]], Files_TD])

__module__ = 'git.util'

__slots__ = ('total', 'files')

files

total

git.util.assure_directory_exists(path: Union[str, PathLike[str]], is_file: bool = False) → bool

Assure that the directory pointed to by path exists.

Parameters:

is_file – If True, path is assumed to be a file and handled correctly. Otherwise it must be a directory

Returns:

True if the directory was created, False if it already existed

git.util.get_user_id() → str

Returns:

string identifying the currently active system user as name@node

git.util.join_path(a: Union[str, PathLike[str]], *p: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → Union[str, PathLike[str]]

Join path tokens together similar to osp.join, but always use ‘/’ instead of possibly ‘’ on windows.

git.util.join_path_native(a: Union[str, PathLike[str]], *p: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → Union[str, PathLike[str]]

As join path, but makes sure an OS native path is returned. This is only

needed to play it safe on my dear windows and to assure nice paths that only use ‘’

git.util.rmtree(path: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → None

Remove the given recursively.

Note:

we use shutil rmtree but adjust its behaviour to see whether files that couldn’t be deleted are read-only. Windows will not remove them in that case

git.util.stream_copy(source: BinaryIO, destination: BinaryIO, chunk_size: int = 524288) → int

Copy all data from the source stream into the destination stream in chunks of size chunk_size

Returns:

amount of bytes written

git.util.to_native_path_linux(path: Union[str, PathLike[str]]) → str

git.util.unbare_repo(func: Callable[[...], T]) → Callable[[...], T]

Methods with this decorator raise InvalidGitRepositoryError if they encounter a bare repository
