API

import { createGitReader } from '@discoveryjs/scan-git';

const repo = await createGitReader('path/to/.git');
const commits = await repo.log({ ref: 'my-branch', depth: 10 });

console.log(commits);

await repo.dispose();

createGitReader(gitdir, options?)

• gitdir: string - path to the git repo
• options – optional settings:
  • maxConcurrency – limit the number of file system operations (default: 50)
  • cruftPacks – defines how cruft packs are processed:
    • 'include' or true (default) - process all packs
    • 'exclude' or false - exclude cruft packs from processing
    • 'only' - process cruft packs only

Refs

Common parameters:

• ref: string – a reference to an object in repository
• withOid: boolean – a flag to include resolved oid for a reference

repo.defaultBranch()

Returns default branch name used in a repo:

const defaultBranch = await repo.defaultBranch();
// 'main'

The algorithm to identify a default branch name:

• if there is only one branch, that must be the default
• otherwise looking for specific branch names, in this order:
  • upstream/HEAD
  • origin/HEAD
  • main
  • master

repo.currentBranch()

Returns the current branch name along with its commit oid. If the repository is in a detached HEAD state, name will be null.

const currentBranch = repo.currentBranch();
// { name: 'main', oid: '8bb6e23769902199e39ab70f2441841712cbdd62' }

const detachedHead = repo.currentBranch();
// { name: null, oid: '8bb6e23769902199e39ab70f2441841712cbdd62' }

repo.isRefExists(ref)

Checks if a ref exists.

const isValidRef = repo.isRefExists('main');
// true

repo.expandRef(ref)

Expands a ref into a full form, e.g. 'main' -> 'refs/heads/main'. Returns null if ref doesn't exist. For the symbolic ref names ('HEAD', 'FETCH_HEAD', 'CHERRY_PICK_HEAD', 'MERGE_HEAD' and 'ORIG_HEAD') returns a name without changes.

const fullPath = repo.expandRef('heads/main');
// 'refs/heads/main'

repo.resolveRef(ref)

Resolves ref into oid if it exists, otherwise throws an exception. In case if ref is oid, returns this oid back. If ref is not a full path, expands it first.

const oid = repo.resolveRef('main');
// '8bb6e23769902199e39ab70f2441841712cbdd62'

repo.describeRef(ref)

Returns an info object for provided ref.

const info = repo.describeRef('HEAD');
// {
//   path: 'HEAD',
//   name: 'HEAD',
//   symbolic: true,
//   ref: 'refs/heads/test',
//   oid: '2dbee47a8d4f8d39e1168fad951b703ee05614d6'
// }

const info = repo.describeRef('main');
// {
//   path: 'refs/heads/main',
//   name: 'main',
//   symbolic: false,
//   scope: 'refs/heads',
//   namespace: 'refs',
//   category: 'heads',
//   remote: null,
//   ref: null,
//   oid: '7b84f676f2fbea2a3c6d83924fa63059c7bdfbe2'
// }

const info = repo.describeRef('origin/HEAD');
// {
//   path: 'refs/remotes/origin/HEAD',
//   name: 'HEAD',
//   symbolic: false,
//   scope: 'refs/remotes',
//   namespace: 'refs',
//   category: 'remotes',
//   remote: 'origin',
//   ref: 'refs/remotes/origin/main',
//   oid: '7b84f676f2fbea2a3c6d83924fa63059c7bdfbe2'
// }

repo.isOid(value)

Checks if a value is a valid oid.

repo.isOid('7b84f676f2fbea2a3c6d83924fa63059c7bdfbe2'); // true
repo.isOid('main'); // false

repo.listRemotes()

const remotes = repo.listRemotes();

// [
//   { name: 'HEAD', oid: '7c2a62cdbc2ef28afaaed3b6f3aef9b581e5aa8e' }
//   { name: 'main', oid: '56ea7a808e35df13e76fee92725a65a373a9835c' }
// ]

repo.listBranches(withOid?)

Get a list of local branches.

const localBranches = await repo.listBranches();
// [
//   'HEAD',
//   'main'
// ]

const localBranches = await repo.listBranches(true);
// [
//   { name: 'HEAD', oid: '7c2a62cdbc2ef28afaaed3b6f3aef9b581e5aa8e' }
//   { name: 'main', oid: '56ea7a808e35df13e76fee92725a65a373a9835c' }

// [
//     Commit,
//     Commit,
//     ...
