VERSION

version 0.000021

SYNOPSIS

use Git::Helpers qw(
    checkout_root
    current_branch_name
    https_remote_url
    is_inside_work_tree
    remote_url
    travis_url
);

my $dir              = '/path/to/folder/in/git/checkout';
my $root             = checkout_root($dir);
my $current_branch   = current_branch_name();
my $https_remote_url = https_remote_url();
my $inside_work_tree = is_inside_work_tree();
my $remote_url       = remote_url('upstream');
my $travis_url       = travis_url();

checkout_root( $dir )

Gives you the root level of the git checkout which you are currently in. Optionally accepts a directory parameter. If you provide the directory parameter, checkout_root will temporarily chdir to this directory and find the top level of the repository.

This method will throw an exception if it cannot find a git repository at the directory provided.

current_branch_name

Returns the name of the current branch.

https_remote_url( $remote_name, $use_current_branch )

This is a browser-friendly URL for the remote, fixed up in such a way that GitHub (hopefully) doesn't need to redirect your URL.

Turns git@github.com:oalders/git-helpers.git into https://github.com/oalders/git-helpers

Turns https://github.com/oalders/git-helpers.git into https://github.com/oalders/git-helpers

Defaults to using origin as the remote if none is supplied.

Defaults to master branch, but can also display current branch.

my $current_branch_url = https_remote_url( 'origin', 1 );

ignored_files( $dir )

Returns an arrayref of files which exist in your checkout, but are ignored by Git. Optionally accepts a directory as an argument. Defaults to ".".

Throws an exception if there has been an error running the command.

is_inside_work_tree

Returns true if git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree returns true. Otherwise returns false. This differs slightly from the behaviour of --is-inside-work-tree in real life, since it returns fatal rather than false if run outside of a git repository.

remote_url( $remote_name )

Returns a URL for the remote you've requested by name. Defaults to 'origin'. Provides you with the exact URL which git returns. Nothing is fixed up for you.

# defaults to 'origin'
my $remote_url = remote_url();
# $remote_url is now possibly something like one of the following:
# git@github.com:oalders/git-helpers.git
# https://github.com/oalders/git-helpers.git

# get URL for upstream remote
my $upstream_url = remote_url('upstream');

travis_url( $remote_name )

Returns a travis-ci.org URL for the remote you've requested by name. Defaults to 'origin'.

# get Travis URL for remote named "origin"
my $origin_travis_url = travis_url();

# get Travis URL for remote named "upstream"
my $upstream_travis_url = travis_url('upstream');
