NodeGit will work on most systems out-of-the-box without any native
dependencies.
npm install nodegit
If you receive errors about libstdc++, which are commonly experienced when
building on Travis-CI, you can fix this by upgrading to the latest
libstdc++-4.9.
If you are still encountering problems while installing, you should try the
Building from source
instructions.
API examples.
Cloning a repository and reading a file:
varGit=require("nodegit");// Clone a given repository into the `./tmp` folder.Git.Clone("https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit","./tmp")// Look up this known commit..then(function(repo){// Use a known commit sha from this repository.returnrepo.getCommit("59b20b8d5c6ff8d09518454d4dd8b7b30f095ab5");})// Look up a specific file within that commit..then(function(commit){returncommit.getEntry("README.md");})// Get the blob contents from the file..then(function(entry){// Patch the blob to contain a reference to the entry.returnentry.getBlob().then(function(blob){blob.entry=entry;returnblob;});})// Display information about the blob..then(function(blob){// Show the name, sha, and filesize in bytes.console.log(blob.entry.name()+blob.entry.sha()+blob.size()+"b");// Show a spacer.console.log(Array(72).join("=")+"\n\n");// Show the entire file.console.log(String(blob));}).catch(function(err){console.log(err);});
Emulating git log:
varGit=require("nodegit");// Open the repository directory.Git.Repository.open("tmp")// Open the master branch..then(function(repo){returnrepo.getMasterCommit();})// Display information about commits on master..then(function(firstCommitOnMaster){// Create a new history event emitter.varhistory=firstCommitOnMaster.history();// Create a counter to only show up to 9 entries.varcount=0;// Listen for commit events from the history.history.on("commit",function(commit){// Disregard commits past 9.if(++count>=9){return;}// Show the commit sha.console.log("commit "+commit.sha());// Store the author object.varauthor=commit.author();// Display author information.console.log("Author:\t"+author.name()+" <"+author.email()+">");// Show the commit date.console.log("Date:\t"+commit.date());// Give some space and show the message.console.log("\n "+commit.message());});// Start emitting events.history.start();});

Unit tests.
You will need to build locally before running the tests. See above.
