});Returns repository, if no repo is found, tries to create the directory and initializes the repository. Initializing is using init internally.

git.open('../repo-path/new/or/existing', {

});Checks if status has pending changes, commits, returns Oid else returns null.

});Breaking API change in 0.12.0
Changed order of from and to to be aligned with git-cli.
git.open('../repo-path/new/or/existing')

var commit1 = history[0].commit;

});Allows to write/read global and local git config values.
Local values are stored in the Git directory ./git/config and overrule global configurations.
Note: Git locks the config when changing configurations,
therefore writing multiple configs can not be done in parallel.
e.g. Promise.all multiple individual git.config.set calls
will throw a "Failed to lock file for writing" error,
nodegit/issues/757.

Set user name and email similar to cd repo then
git config user.name "John Doe" and git config user.email [email protected].
git.open('my/repository')
.then(repo => {
return git.config.set(repo, {
'user.name': 'John Doe',
'user.email': '[email protected]'
});
});Similar to cd repo thengit config user.name returns config for a repository if there any or else the global Git configuration.
git.open('my/repository')
.then(repo => {
return git.config.get(repo, ['user.name', 'user.email']);
})
.then(configs => {
// [ 'John Doe', '[email protected]' ]
});When no repo is given, setting and getting config will operate in --global mode and read and write to ~/.gitconfig (or ~/.config/git/config).
git.config.get(['user.name', 'user.email'])
.then(config => {
// [ 'John Doe', '[email protected]' ]
});// WARNING: this will change your global git config
git.config.set({
'user.name': 'John Doe',
'user.email': '[email protected]'
});Ensures directory exists, initializes, creates a first commit and returns repo. This is optional and only useful to control the first commit.
