NAME

Test::Git - Helper functions for test scripts using Git

VERSION

version 1.301

SYNOPSIS

use Test::More;
use Test::Git;

# check there is a git binary available, or skip all
has_git();

# check there is a minimum version of git available, or skip all
has_git( '1.6.5' );

# check the git we want to test has a minimum version, or skip all
has_git( '1.6.5', { git => '/path/to/alternative/git' } );

# normal plan
plan tests => 2;

# create a new, empty repository in a temporary location
# and return a Git::Repository object
my $r = test_repository();

# run some tests on the repository
...

DESCRIPTION

Test::Git provides a number of helpful functions when running test scripts that require the creation and management of a Git repository.

EXPORTED FUNCTIONS

has_git( $version, \%options )

Checks if there is a git binary available, or skips all tests.

If the optional $version argument is provided, also checks if the available git binary has a version greater or equal to $version.

This function also accepts an option hash of the same kind as those accepted by Git::Repository and Git::Repository::Command.

This function must be called before plan(), as it performs a skip_all if requirements are not met.

test_repository( %options )

Creates a new empty git repository in a temporary location, and returns a Git::Repository object pointing to it.

This function takes options as a hash. Each key will influence a different part of the creation process.

This call is the equivalent of the default call with no options:

test_repository(
    temp => [ CLEANUP => 1 ],    # File::Temp::tempdir options
    init => [],                  # git init options
    git  => {},                  # Git::Repository options
);

To create a bare repository:

test_repository( init => [ '--bare' ] );

To leave the repository in its location after the end of the test:

test_repository( temp => [ CLEANUP => 0 ] );

Note that since test_repository() uses git init to create the test repository, it requires at least Git version 1.5.0.
