Remotes

Repository.remotes

The collection of configured remotes, an instance of pygit2.remote.RemoteCollection

The remote collection

class pygit2.remote.RemoteCollection(repo)

Collection of configured remotes

You can use this class to look up and manage the remotes configured in a repository. You can access repositories using index access. E.g. to look up the “origin” remote, you can use

>>> repo.remotes["origin"]

add_fetch(name, refspec)

Add a fetch refspec (str) to the remote

add_push(name, refspec)

Add a push refspec (str) to the remote

create(name, url, fetch=None)

Create a new remote with the given name and url. Returns a <Remote> object.

If ‘fetch’ is provided, this fetch refspec will be used instead of the default.

delete(name)

Remove a remote from the configuration

All remote-tracking branches and configuration settings for the remote will be removed.

names()

An iterator over the names of the available remotes.

rename(name, new_name)

Rename a remote in the configuration. The refspecs in standard format will be renamed.

Returns a list of fetch refspecs (list of strings) which were not in the standard format and thus could not be remapped.

set_push_url(name, url)

Set the push-URL for a remote

set_url(name, url)

Set the URL for a remote

The Remote type

class pygit2.Remote(repo, ptr)

connect(callbacks=None, direction=0, proxy=None)

Connect to the remote.

Parameters:

proxyNone or True or str

Proxy configuration. Can be one of:

• None (the default) to disable proxy usage

• True to enable automatic proxy detection

• an url to a proxy (http://proxy.example.org:3128/)

fetch(refspecs=None, message=None, callbacks=None, prune=0, proxy=None)

Perform a fetch against this remote. Returns a <TransferProgress> object.

Parameters:

pruneenum

Either <GIT_FETCH_PRUNE_UNSPECIFIED>, <GIT_FETCH_PRUNE>, or <GIT_FETCH_NO_PRUNE>. The first uses the configuration from the repo, the second will remove any remote branch in the local repository that does not exist in the remote and the last will always keep the remote branches

proxyNone or True or str

Proxy configuration. Can be one of:

• None (the default) to disable proxy usage

• True to enable automatic proxy detection

• an url to a proxy (http://proxy.example.org:3128/)

property fetch_refspecs

Refspecs that will be used for fetching

get_refspec(n)

Return the <Refspec> object at the given position.

ls_remotes(callbacks=None, proxy=None)

Return a list of dicts that maps to git_remote_head from a ls_remotes call.

Parameters:

callbacks : Passed to connect()

proxy : Passed to connect()

property name

Name of the remote

prune(callbacks=None)

Perform a prune against this remote.

push(specs, callbacks=None, proxy=None)

Push the given refspec to the remote. Raises GitError on protocol error or unpack failure.

When the remote has a githook installed, that denies the reference this function will return successfully. Thus it is strongly recommended to install a callback, that implements RemoteCallbacks.push_update_reference() and check the passed parameters for successfull operations.

Parameters:

specs[str]

Push refspecs to use.

proxyNone or True or str

Proxy configuration. Can be one of:

• None (the default) to disable proxy usage

• True to enable automatic proxy detection

• an url to a proxy (http://proxy.example.org:3128/)

property push_refspecs

Refspecs that will be used for pushing

property push_url

Push url of the remote

property refspec_count

Total number of refspecs in this remote

save()

Save a remote to its repository’s configuration.

property url

Url of the remote

The RemoteCallbacks type

class pygit2.RemoteCallbacks(credentials=None, certificate=None)

Base class for pygit2 remote callbacks.

Inherit from this class and override the callbacks which you want to use in your class, which you can then pass to the network operations.

For the credentials, you can either subclass and override the ‘credentials’ method, or if it’s a constant value, pass the value to the constructor, e.g. RemoteCallbacks(credentials=credentials).

You can as well pass the certificate the same way, for example: RemoteCallbacks(certificate=certificate).

certificate_check(certificate, valid, host)

Certificate callback. Override with your own function to determine whether to accept the server’s certificate.

Returns: True to connect, False to abort.

Parameters:

certificateNone

The certificate. It is currently always None while we figure out how to represent it cross-platform.

validbool

Whether the TLS/SSH library thinks the certificate is valid.

hoststr

The hostname we want to connect to.

credentials(url, username_from_url, allowed_types)

Credentials callback. If the remote server requires authentication, this function will be called and its return value used for authentication. Override it if you want to be able to perform authentication.

Returns: credential

Parameters:

urlstr

The url of the remote.

username_from_urlstr or None

Username extracted from the url, if any.

allowed_typesint

Credential types supported by the remote.

push_update_reference(refname, message)

Push update reference callback. Override with your own function to report the remote’s acceptance or rejection of reference updates.

refnamestr

The name of the reference (on the remote).

messagestr

Rejection message from the remote. If None, the update was accepted.

sideband_progress(string)

Progress output callback. Override this function with your own progress reporting function

Parameters:

stringstr

Progress output from the remote.

transfer_progress(stats)

Transfer progress callback. Override with your own function to report transfer progress.

Parameters:

statsTransferProgress

The progress up to now.

update_tips(refname, old, new)

Update tips callback. Override with your own function to report reference updates.

Parameters:

refnamestr

The name of the reference that’s being updated.

oldOid

The reference’s old value.

newOid

The reference’s new value.

The TransferProgress type

This class contains the data which is available to us during a fetch.

class pygit2.remote.TransferProgress(tp)

Progress downloading and indexing data during a fetch.

indexed_deltas

Deltas which have been indexed

indexed_objects

Objects which have been indexed

local_objects

Local objects which were used to fix the thin pack

received_bytes

“Number of bytes received up to now

received_objects

Objects which have been received up to now

total_deltas

Total number of deltas in the pack

total_objects

Total number of objects to download

The Refspec type

Refspecs objects are not constructed directly, but returned by pygit2.Remote.get_refspec(). To create a new a refspec on a Remote, use pygit2.Remote.add_fetch() or pygit2.Remote.add_push().

class pygit2.refspec.Refspec(owner, ptr)

The constructor is for internal use only.

property direction

Direction of this refspec (fetch or push)

property dst

Destinaton or rhs of the refspec

dst_matches(ref)

Return True if the given string matches the destination of this refspec, False otherwise.

property force

Whether this refspeca llows non-fast-forward updates

rtransform(ref)

Transform a reference name according to this refspec from the lhs to the rhs. Return an string.

property src

Source or lhs of the refspec

src_matches(ref)

Return True if the given string matches the source of this refspec, False otherwise.

property string

String which was used to create this refspec

transform(ref)

Transform a reference name according to this refspec from the lhs to the rhs. Return an string.

Credentials

There are several types of credentials. All of them are callable objects, with the appropriate signature for the credentials callback.

They will ignore all the arguments and return themselves. This is useful for scripts where the credentials are known ahead of time. More complete interfaces would want to look up in their keychain or ask the user for the data to use in the credentials.

class pygit2.Username(username)

Username credentials

This is an object suitable for passing to a remote’s credentials callback and for returning from said callback.

class pygit2.UserPass(username, password)

Username/Password credentials

This is an object suitable for passing to a remote’s credentials callback and for returning from said callback.

class pygit2.Keypair(username, pubkey, privkey, passphrase)

SSH key pair credentials.

This is an object suitable for passing to a remote’s credentials callback and for returning from said callback.

Parameters:

usernamestr

The username being used to authenticate with the remote server.

pubkeystr

The path to the user’s public key file.

privkeystr

The path to the user’s private key file.

passphrasestr

The password used to decrypt the private key file, or empty string if no passphrase is required.

class pygit2.KeypairFromAgent(username)

class pygit2.KeypairFromMemory(username, pubkey, privkey, passphrase)
