git-range v0.2.0

git-range

Parse git revision ranges for nodegit.

Supports the following format:

• <rev1>..<rev2>.
• <rev2> ^<rev1>.
• <rev1>...<rev2>.
• <rev>^@.
• <rev>^!.
• <rev>^-<nth parent>.

Usage

nodegit.Revparse can parse single revision references and nodegit.Revwalk only support two dot notation ranges (via pushRange(range) or single revisions. Even with single revisons, you need to know what its type (a commit sha, its shortname, a reference).

With git-range, you can instead convert a range to a list of commit id; the revisions to exclude starts with "^":

const git = require('nodegit');
const range = require('git-range');

git.Repository.open('.git').then(
  repo => range.parse(repo, ['HEAD^@', '^v1.0.0']).then(revisions => {
    // Equivalent output to "git rev-parse HEAD^@ ^v1.0.0^{commit}"
    console.log(revisions.join('\n'));
    repo.free();
  }).catch(e => {
    repo.free();
    console.error(e);
  })
);
