Geef is a simple Erlang NIF that exposes some of the libgit2 library functions to Erlang.
First you need to install libgit2:
$ git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git
$ cd libgit2
$ make
$ make install
Now, if you have Erlang OTP_R13B04 installed, you can compile this NIF to run in it.
$ git clone git://github.com/carlosmn/geef.git
$ cd geef
$ make
$ mix # if you want to build the elixir modules
The API looks basically like this:
{ok, Repo} = geef_repo:open(".").
Workdir = geef_repo:workdir(Repo).
{ok, Blob} = geef_blob:lookup(Repo, geef_oid:parse("abcde...")).
There are wrappers for elixir which make use of some elixir-specific
things, like Repository.open!
, or Reference.resolve!
.
alias Geef.Repository
alias Geef.Reference
repo = Repository.open!(".")
ref = Reference.lookup!(repo. "HEAD") |> Reference.resolve!
Of course, you could also do
ref = Repository.open! "." |> Reference.lookup! "HEAD" |> Reference.resolve!
but then you would leak the repository process.
Fork carlosmn/geef on GitHub, make it awesomer (preferably in a branch named for the topic), send a pull request.
