gitexec v2.0.1

gitexec

A specialised child process spawn for git commands

Compatible with Node.js 8.x

Note: while there's nothing currently preventing this from being used to execute arbitrary bash commands, be warned that it's use is focused on git and the API may evolve to be more specific into the future. You're welcome to fork or copy the patterns used if you need similar functionality for other uses.

API

gitexec.exec(repoPath, gitCommand)

gitexec.execCollect(repoPath, gitCommand, callback)

A form of exec() that collects stdout and returns it as a single String on the callback. Any errors encountered will be given as the first argument to the callback.
