Playing around with git's objects

Repository

Opening an existing git repository

var repo=new Repository("path/to/repo")

Branch

Get the current branch

var branch=repo.CurrentBranch
Console.WriteLine("Current branch is "+branch.Name);

Another way to get the current branch

repo.Head

Get master branch

var master = new Branch(repo, "master");

Get the abbreviated hash of the last commit on master

Console.WriteLine(master.CurrentCommit.ShortHash);

Ref

You can use Ref to resolve typical git references without needing to know their type. The following expression should be true if "version1.0.0" is a Tag and not a Branch.

new Ref(repo, "version1.0.0").Target.IsTag

Branch is a Ref, but not all Ref's necessarily need to be branches. For instance, we want to get the message of the previous commit:

Console.WriteLine((new Ref(repo, "HEAD^").Target as Commit).Message);

Commit

Actually the example above (to get the message of the previous commit) can be shortened like so:

Console.WriteLine(new Commit(repo, "HEAD^").Message);

Print a list of changes between two commits c1 and c2:

foreach(var change in c1.CompareAgainst(c2)) { Console.WriteLine(change.ChangeType+": "+change.Path); }

Using git commands

Init

Initializing a new repository in the current directory (if GID_DIR environment variable is not set)

Git.Commands.Init();

Initializing a new repository in the specified location

Git.Commands.Init("path/to/repo");

Initializing a new repository with options

var cmd = new Git.InitCommand("path/to/repo") { Quiet=false, Bare=true };
cmd.Execute();
