NAME

Git::Helpers - Shortcuts for common Git commands

VERSION

version 1.000001

SYNOPSIS

    use Git::Helpers qw(
        checkout_root
        current_branch_name
        https_remote_url
        is_inside_work_tree
        remote_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');

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');
