A simple Node.js wrapper for the Git CLI. The API uses promises. This library is used in Codebox.

npm install gittle

var Gittle = require("gittle");

• Load a repository: var repo = new Gittle("./");
• Clone a repository: Gittle.clone("https://github.com/FriendCode/gittle.js.git", "./test")
• Initialize an empty repository: Gittle.init("./test")

• Get status: repo.status()

• Get identity: repo.identity(), Returns an Actor object
• Set identity: repo.identify(actor), actor is an object like: {name: "", email: ""}

• Pull: repo.pull(remote, branch)
• Push: repo.push(remote, branch)
• Fetch: repo.fetch(remote)

A commit is representated by a Commit object.

• List all commits: repo.commits(start, limit, skip)
• Commit changes: repo.commit(message, options)

• List all tags: repo.tags()
• Create a new tag: repo.create_tag(name, options)
• Delete a tag: repo.delete_tag(name)

A branch is representated by a Head object.

• List all branches: repo.branches()
• Get a branch from its name: repo.branche(name)
• Create a branch: repo.create_branch(name)
• Delete a branch: repo.delete_branch(name)

• List all remotes: repo.remotes()
• Add a remote: repo.remore_add(name, url)
• Delete a remote: repo.remote_remove(name)

• commit.id: (String) id for this commit
• commit.author: (Actor) author of this commit
• commit.commiter: (Actor) commiter of this commit
• commit.message: (String) message for this commit
• commit.authored_date: (String) date when the commit was authored
• commit.committed_date: (String) date when the commit was commited

• Get the parents commits: commit.parents()

• actor.name: (String) name of this actor

Class Head inherit from Ref.

• ref.name: (String) name of this reference
• ref.commit: (Commit) commit related to this ref.

A last argument could be use for authentication on Gittle.clone, repo.push, repo.pull, repo.fetch:

{
    // SSH:
    'passphrase': "...",
    'refuseUnknownHost': true, // Default is false
    
    // HTTPS:
    'username': "...",
    'password': "..."
}
