Cannot create a new branch

[ashokfernandez]

I am trying to create a new branch in my repo, however I am getting an error about a callback not existing. This is using version 0.2.7 from NPM

Git = require('nodegit');

scope = {}

Git.Repository.open("./")
    .then(function(repo) {
        scope.repo = repo;
        return repo.getMasterCommit();
    })
    .then(function(masterCommit) {
        scope.masterCommit = masterCommit;
        return Git.Branch.create(scope.repo, "new-branch", scope.masterCommit, true)
    })
    .then(function(branch) {
        console.log(branch.toString())
    })
    .catch(function(err) {
        console.log(err.toString())
    })

This results in the output

Error: Callback is required and must be a Function.

I think the create method takes six arguments, you've passed 4.

Ahh I see, I was following the examples from the test files. What should be used for the signature parameter? Also is the head commit reference that I'm using from the tests correct?

Provided you have a git user configured, you should just be able to use Signature.default, which should grab the git global user name and email. I think the commit ref is correct, but I'd have to test to make sure. Those 5 args should be sufficient for you, as the promise should handle the 6th. I'm going to close this, and add creating a branch as a desired example. If you need more help, hop on into the Gitter room 👍
