• Reset (soft and hard)
• Diff
• Visualization via @dotinc/ogre-react
• Merge
  • fast-forward

Usage

const repo = new Repository(new ComplexObject());

// apply changes
repo.data.name = "my name";
repo.data.description = "now we have a description";

// commit changes
const init = await repo.commit("initial commit", "author <author@test.com>");
// create a branch named savepoint pointing to the last commit
repo.createBranch("savepoint");

// switch to new branch
repo.checkout("add_details", true);

// apply changes
repo.data.name = "a fancier name";

// a) commit & merge
await repo.commit("change name", "author <author@test.com>");
repo.checkout("main");
repo.merge("add_details");
repo.tag("v1.0.0");

// or b) discard change and go back
// by using the branch name
repo.checkout("main");
// by using the commit hash in a detached state
repo.checkout(init);
