Laravel Git

A powerful Laravel package for managing Git repositories with an elegant, fluent API. This package provides a seamless integration between Laravel applications and Git repositories, allowing you to perform Git operations programmatically.

Presentation and Goal

Laravel Git is designed to simplify Git operations in Laravel applications. It provides a clean, object-oriented interface to interact with Git repositories, making it easy to:

• Create, clone, and manage Git repositories
• Perform common Git operations (pull, push, fetch, commit)
• Work with branches, tags, and releases
• Integrate with GitHub (and potentially other Git providers in the future)
• Generate changelogs and manage versioning

The goal of this package is to provide a robust, Laravel-friendly way to interact with Git repositories, whether for deployment automation, version control management, or other Git-related tasks in your Laravel applications.

Requirements

• PHP ^8.4
• Laravel 12
• Git

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require ibrostudio/laravel-git

The package will automatically register its service provider.

Configuration

Publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="IBroStudio\Git\GitServiceProvider"

This will create a config/git.php file where you can configure:

• Default Git provider, branch, and remote
• Authentication credentials for Git providers (GitHub)
• Repository templates
• Changelog configuration
• Pre-commit hooks
• Scripts for deployment, formatting, and testing

GitHub Authentication

To use GitHub integration, set your GitHub credentials in your .env file:

GITHUB_USERNAME=your-github-username
GITHUB_TOKEN=your-github-personal-access-token

Basic Usage

Opening an Existing Repository

use IBroStudio\Git\Repository;

// Open a repository from a local path
$repository = Repository::open('/path/to/repository');

Cloning a Repository

use IBroStudio\Git\Repository;

// Clone a repository
$repository = Repository::clone(
    url: 'git@github.com:username/repository.git',
    localParentDirectoryPath: '/path/to/parent/directory'
);

Creating a New Repository

use IBroStudio\Git\Repository;

$repository = Repository::init([
    'name' => 'new-repository',
    'localParentDirectory' => '/path/to/parent/directory',
]);

This will use all default values from git.php config file.

You can define more parameters and overwrite default values:

use IBroStudio\Git\Repository;
use IBroStudio\DataObjects\Enums\GitProvidersEnum;
use IBroStudio\Git\Dto\OwnerDto\AuthOwnerDto;
use IBroStudio\Git\Dto\RepositoryDto\ConfigDto\RemoteDto;
use IBroStudio\DataObjects\ValueObjects\GitSshUrl;
use IBroStudio\Git\Enums\GitRepositoryVisibilitiesEnum;

$repository = Repository::init([
    'name' => 'new-repository',
    'branch' => 'main',
    'owner' => AuthOwnerDto::from(['name' => 'your-github-username']),
    'provider' => GitProvidersEnum::GITHUB,
    'remote' => RemoteDto::from([
        'name' => 'origin',
        'url' => GitSshUrl::build(GitProvidersEnum::GITHUB, 'your-github-username', 'new-repository'),
    ]),
    'localParentDirectory' => '/path/to/parent/directory',
    'visibility' => GitRepositoryVisibilitiesEnum::PRIVATE,
]);

Basic Git Operations

// Check repository status
$status = $repository->status();
$hasChanges = $repository->hasChanges();

// Fetch, pull, and push
$repository->fetch();
$repository->pull();
$repository->push();

// Restore changes
$repository->restore();

Working with Commits

// Get the last commit
$lastCommit = $repository->commits()->last();

// Get commit history
$history = $repository->commits()->history();

// Create a new commit
use IBroStudio\Git\Dto\RepositoryDto\CommitDto;

$commit = CommitDto::from([
    'message' => 'Your commit message',
    'description' => 'Optional longer description',
]);

$repository->commits()->add($commit);

// Undo the last commit
$repository->commits()->undo();

Advanced Usage

Working with Branches

// Create a new branch
$repository->branches()->create('feature/new-feature');

// Switch to a branch
$repository->branches()->checkout('feature/new-feature');

// Merge branches
$repository->branches()->merge('feature/new-feature', 'main');

Working with Tags and Releases

// Create a tag
$repository->tags()->create('v1.0.0');

// Create a release
use IBroStudio\Git\Dto\RepositoryDto\ReleaseDto;

$release = ReleaseDto::from([
    'tag' => 'v1.0.0',
    'name' => 'Version 1.0.0',
    'description' => 'Release notes for version 1.0.0',
]);

$repository->releases()->create($release);

Generating Changelogs

$repository->changelog()->generate();

API Documentation

The package provides several main classes and interfaces:

• Git: The main facade for interacting with Git providers
• Repository: Represents a Git repository with methods for common operations
• Commit: Represents a Git commit
• Branch: Represents a Git branch
• Tag: Represents a Git tag
• Release: Represents a Git release

Each class provides a fluent interface for performing operations related to its domain.
