Provides access to `git subrepo` in Python
Project description
Git Subrepo Python Wrapper
In the same way that `GitPython <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GitPython/>`__ wraps git, this library provides easy access to git subrepo in Python.
How to use
Prerequisites
git >= 2.10.0 (on path)
git-subrepo >= 0.3.1
python >= 3.6
Installation
Stable releases can be installed via PyPI:
$ pip install gitsubrepo
Bleeding edge versions can be installed directly from GitHub:
$ pip install git+https://github.com/wtsi-hgi/python-git-subrepo.git@${commitIdBranchOrTag}#egg=gitsubrepo
To declare this library as a dependency of your project, add it to your requirement.txt file.
API
The library currently supports 3 git subrepo operations: clone, pull and status. Please see the documentation for specific information on how to use these methods.
Example usage:
import gitsubrepo
remote_repository = "https://github.com/colin-nolan/test-repository.git"
repository_location = "/tmp/repo"
subrepo_location = f"{repository_location}/subrepo"
branch = "develop"
commit_reference = gitsubrepo.clone(remote_repository, subrepo_location, branch=branch)
updated_commit_reference = gitsubrepo.pull(subrepo_location)
subrepo_remote, subrepo_branch, subrepo_commit = gitsubrepo.status(subrepo_location)
assert subrepo_remote == remote_repository
assert subrepo_branch == branch
Development
Setup
Install both library dependencies and the dependencies needed for testing:
$ pip install -q -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -q -r test_requirements.txt
Testing
To run the tests and generate a coverage report with unittest:
./test-runner.sh
If you wish to run the tests inside a Docker container, build Docker.test.
