Module utils 

Utilities for handling git repositories, mainly around authentication/cloning.

Structs

CheckoutGuard 🔒

See GitCheckout::reset for rationale on this type.

GitCheckout

A local checkout of a particular revision from a GitDatabase.

GitDatabase

A local clone of a remote repository’s database. Multiple GitCheckouts can be cloned from a single GitDatabase.

GitRemote

A remote repository. It gets cloned into a local GitDatabase.

GitShortID

A short abbreviated OID.

Enums

FastPathRev 🔒

The result of GitHub fast path check. See github_fast_path for more.

Constants

CHECKOUT_READY_LOCK 🔒

A file indicates that if present, git reset has been done and a repo checkout is ready to go. See GitCheckout::reset for why we need this.

Functions

absolute_submodule_url 🔒

Constructs an absolute URL for a child submodule URL with its parent base URL.

clean_repo_temp_files 🔒

Removes temporary files left from previous activity.

fetch

Attempts to fetch the given git reference for a Git repository.

fetch_with_cli 🔒

Attempts to use git CLI installed on the system to fetch a repository, when the config value net.git-fetch-with-cli is set.

fetch_with_gitoxide 🔒

fetch_with_libgit2 🔒

github_fast_path 🔒

Attempts GitHub’s special fast path for testing if we’ve already got an up-to-date copy of the repository.

has_shallow_lock_file 🔒

gitoxide uses shallow locks to assure consistency when fetching to and to avoid races, and to write files atomically. Cargo has its own lock files and doesn’t need that mechanism for race protection, so a stray lock means a signal interrupted a previous shallow fetch and doesn’t mean a race is happening.

init 🔒

Initializes a Git repository at path.

is_github 🔒

Whether a url is one from GitHub.

is_short_hash_of 🔒

Whether rev is a shorter hash of oid.

looks_like_commit_hash 🔒

Whether a rev looks like a commit hash (ASCII hex digits).

maybe_gc_repo 🔒

Attempts to git gc a repository.

reinitialize 🔒

Reinitializes a given Git repository. This is useful when a Git repository seems corrupted and we want to start over.

reset 🔒

git reset --hard to the given obj for the repo.

resolve_ref

Resolves GitReference to an object ID with objects the repo currently has.

rev_to_oid 🔒

Turns a full commit hash revision into an oid.

serialize_str 🔒

with_authentication 🔒

Prepare the authentication callbacks for cloning a git repository.

with_fetch_options

Prepares the callbacks for fetching a git repository.
