NOTE: git-control is no longer maintained because excellent projects that do the same thing like nodegit exist, and i strongly recommend using them instead.

git-control (beta)

A node module that helps you perform git operations on a repository. To start, all operations are build arround Promises/A promises for asynchronious implementation, but there is a plan to support synchronious commands too.

Getting Started

Install the module with: npm install git-control and then:

var git = require('git-control'),
newRepo =  git.repo({
	path: '../path/to/repo', //default to '.'
	gitDir: '../.git', //default to path + '/.git',
    workTree: 'path/to/work/tree' // default to path
});

newRepo.printInfo(); //output usefull information about the status.

###Available commands

• exec, main function that is used by all other commands, execute the given git command, ex: repo.exec('status');
• log
• status
• tag
• submodule, (NOTE: exports also submodules, so if you have a submodule called jquery in your main repository myLib, you could access its git-control repository instance using myLib.submodule.jquery)
• branch
• fetch
• checkout
• pull
• add
• commit
• printInfo

Documentation

(Coming soon)

Contributing

In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Grunt.

TODO

• Implement tests (in progress)
• Support more operations
• Support synchronious operations
