gitpython creating zip archive

How can I create an archive with gitpython, I tried the following which creates the file but I can't open it it tells me an error occurred reading archive the archive appears to be invalid or damaged

from git import *
repo = Repo(repo_path)
assert repo.bare == False
repo.archive(open("repo.tar",'w'))

I would like to create a zip file so then I tried this but here it creates an empty zip file (the path to repo is correct as when I use repo.clone it propery clones everything)

repo.archive(open("repo.zip",'w'), format="zip") 

Cloning a private Github repo using a script

How to clone a private repository from Github using python?

I found some good information about git and python, but I started learning python few days back.

get short sha of commit with gitpython

The long SHA can be gotten like below:

repo = git.Repo(search_parent_directories=True)
sha = repo.head.object.hexsha

How about short one? (short SHA is decided by the scale of the repo, so it should not be like sha[:7])

How can I pull a remote repository with GitPython?

I am trying to find the way to pull a git repository using gitPython. So far this is what I have taken from the official docs here.

test_remote = repo.create_remote('test', 'git@server:repo.git')
repo.delete_remote(test_remote) # create and delete remotes
origin = repo.remotes.origin    # get default remote by name
origin.refs                     # local remote references
o = origin.rename('new_origin') # rename remotes
o.fetch()                       # fetch, pull and push from and to the remote
o.pull()
o.push()

The fact is that I want to access the repo.remotes.origin to do a pull withouth renaming it's origin (origin.rename) How can I achieve this? Thanks.

GitPython: how to commit updated submodule

I have been at this for hours now, and although I have a feeling I'm close I can't seem to figure this out.

I'm trying to make a script that takes a git repository, updates a submodule in that repository to a specified version, and commits that change.

What works:

I can find the repository, get the submodule and check out the commit I want.

What doesn't work:

I can't seem to add the updated submodule hash so I can commit it.

My Code:

repos = Repo('path/to/repos')
submodule = repos.submodule('submodule-name')
submodule.module().git.checkout('wanted commit')

diff = repos.index.diff(None)

At this point I can see the submodule-change. If I check sourcetree, I can see the changed submodule in the 'unstaged files'. The thing is, I have no clue how to stage the change so I can commit it.

What I have tried:

• If I commit using repos.index.commit(''), it creates an empty commit.
• If I try to add the path of the submodule using repos.index.add([submodule.path]), all files in the submodule are added to the repository, which is definately not what I want.
• If I try to add the submodule itself (which should be possible according to the docs) using repos.index.add([submodule]), nothing seems to happen.

git log -- works correct on terminal, but doing g.log(file_name) in git python shows error

For SOME files, it happens that in Git Python the g.log() instruction gives error, but for the same file if I do [$git log -- ] on terminal, that works correct. The following command on terminal works very well:

$git log -- org.eclipse.jdt.core/model/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/core/CompilationUnitVisitor.java

Here is my python code:

import git
from git import *
import sys
repo = Repo ("/home/directory/git/eclipse.jdt.core")
assert repo.bare == False
g=repo.git
loginfo = g.log('org.eclipse.jdt.core/model/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/core/CompilationUnitVisitor.java')

It shows the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.7.egg/git/cmd.py", line 227, in return lambda *args, **kwargs: self._call_process(name, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.7.egg/git/cmd.py", line 456, in _call_process return self.execute(call, **_kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GitPython-0.3.2.RC1-py2.7.egg/git/cmd.py", line 377, in execute raise GitCommandError(command, status, stderr_value) git.exc.GitCommandError: 'git log org.eclipse.jdt.core/model/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/core/CompilationUnitVisitor.java' returned exit status 128: fatal: ambiguous argument 'org.eclipse.jdt.core/model/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/core/CompilationUnitVisitor.java': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this: 'git [...] -- [...]'

Can someone please suggest how to correct it?

Python: Get a list of changed files between two commits or branches

I'm a Python/Git newb but I'm trying to write a script that takes two branches or commits as parameters and shows a list of changed files between the two, not all the extraneous info that comes with a regular diff.

This was accomplished in bash scripting by using

git diff --name-only FIRSTBRANCH...SECONDBRANCH

but it isn't translating as easily to Python scripting using gitpython. If anyone has any idea how to do this, that'd be great.

edit: heres some code

user = str(sys.argv[1])
password = str(sys.argv[2])
currentBranch = str(sys.argv[3])
compBranch = str(sys.argv[4])

repo = Repo(directory)
currentCommit = repo.commit(currentBranch)
compCommit = repo.commit(compBranch)
diffed = repo.diff(currentBranch, compBranch)

print diff will return all the diff details when I only want a list of changed files

Any git hook to block merge conflict?

I am planning to write a git hook in python to protect my github repository. It will detect merge conflict markers (like >>>>>>) and block the commit.

I have some initial ideas but it will be very helpful if I get similar hook samples. Advise about implementation from experienced people will be appreciated too.

GitPython create local branch from remote branch

I have multiple lab machines and I need to make a copy of my remote branch on my local lab machine. I believe the git bash command for this is:

git checkout -b mybranch origin/mybranch

How do I do the equivalent in GitPython?

I may make changes and push the changes back to origin/mybranch and then pull the changes back on to other lab machines.

How to 'pipe' password to remote.update() with gitPython

I am trying to write a script (probably python) that needs to fetch a remote repo (housed with Stash via git), and checkout a specific commit (based on the hash). The problem is that this needs to happen 'blindly' to the user, but it pauses for a password. I need to figure out a way to pipe (or proc.communicate() (or something) the password to the repo.fetch() or origin.update() proc.

Currently, I have code that's something like this:

remoteUrl = 'http://uname@build:7990'
commitId = '9a5af460615'
pw = 'MyPassword'
repo = git.Repo('C:\\Myfolder\\MyRepo')
proc = subprocess.Popen('echo pw | repo.git.fetch()', shell=True, stdin = PIPE)

but it doesn't seem to work if I done try the echo/pipe, but follow repo.git.fetch() with proc.communicate(pw), I get error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python34\lib\subprocess.py", line 941, in communicate
    self.stdin.write(input)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

Finally, I've also tried adding:

o = repo.remotes.origin
proc = subprocess.Popen('o.update()', shell=True, stdin = PIPE)
proc.communicate(pw)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python34\lib\subprocess.py", line 941, in communicate
    self.stdin.write(input)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

But to no avail, as you can see from the error.

I think I'm over-complicating this, as it seems gitpython probably has a good way to send the pw to o.update() or repo.git.fetch() without using the subprocess?

EDIT: I'm hoping for code something along these lines:

remoteUrl = 'http://uname@build:7990'
commitId = '9a5af460615'
pw = 'MyPassword'
repo = git.Repo('C:\\Myfolder\\MyRepo')
repo.fetch(remoteUrl)
repo.checkout(commitId) # or maybe repo.pull, or something?

That is more pseudocode than anything else, but it may help you see what I'm hoping for. Also, I want to force through any 'hiccups' I don't want detached head warnings or anything, I want to completely replace the local working copy with the remote at the specified commit.

gitpython error when checking if repo is dirty

I receive an error while trying to use gitpython to check if a repository is dirty, i.e. has uncommitted changed to tracked files:

import git
repo = git.Repo('')
print repo.is_dirty()

The error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\dev\my_prog\test.py", line 8, in <module>
    print repo.is_dirty()
  File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gitpython-0.3.2.rc1-py2.7.egg\git\repo\base.py", line 502, in is_dirty

How come? What could be the problem?

GitPython tags sorted

I am trying to get the last tag in the repo using GitPython lib. Usually I was dong it this way:

repo = Repo(project_root)
last_tag = str(repo.tags[-1])

But once version 1.10 was released, I am always getting 1.9 ;( I know it's related to output git tag -l being listing same order. So it will be 1.1, 1.10, 1.2, ..., 1.9

The qustion is how to get the latest tag using GitPython? (I am aware of git tag -l | sort -V and I know how to solve this not using the repo object. But maybe someone knows what am I missing in getting sorted tags list in this lib)

Custom sorting function is always an option too, but still, I wonder if there a way to do it with GitPython?

How to get staged files using GitPython?

I'm counting staged files in git using gitpython.

For modified files, I can use

repo = git.Repo()
modified_files = len(repo.index.diff(None))

But for staged files I can't find the solution.

I know git status --porcelain but I'm looking for other solution which is better. (I hope using gitpython not git command, the script will be faster)

How to get count of unpublished commit with GitPython?

With git status I can get information about count of unpublished commits:

» git status             
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 2 commits.
#   (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
#
nothing to commit, working directory clean

I want to get unpublished commits (or count) with GitPython. I docs I found repo.git.status(), but this is not what I want.

Git Python Cannot find Commit

I am not able to find a commit that a tag points to by navigating the commit tree. For this specific example, I am using the Tornado Web repository cloned directly from Github.

import sys
import git

if len(sys.argv) < 2:
    print 'python git_test.py <repo path>'
    sys.exit(0)

repo = git.Repo(sys.argv[1])
commits = {}

for git_commit in repo.iter_commits():
    commits[git_commit.hexsha] = git_commit

print len(commits)

for git_tag in repo.tags:
    print 'Tag %s points to Commit %s' % (
        git_tag.name,
        commits[git_tag.commit.hexsha]
    )

This is suppose to find all commits in git's direct acyclic graph, however, I tried another approach that recursively navigated the dag through a recursive function and it delivered the same results.

ian@ian-EP45-UD3L:~/code/playground$ python git_test.py ~/code/tornado/
459
Tag v1.0.0 points to Commit eb5b3d8df7a305ac1ffa0a12c813e5d7ee4d6cd3
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "git_test.py", line 19, in <module>
    commits[git_tag.commit.hexsha]
KeyError: '2b5064b7ed962603ade0db0c8e21846a9879e30e'

Am I doing something incorrectly, how can I work around this problem? Any help is appreciated!

I am using git-python v0.3.1.
