GitPython

GitPython is a python library used to interact with git repositories, high-level like git-porcelain, or low-level like git-plumbing.

It provides abstractions of git objects for easy access of repository data, and additionally allows you to access the git repository more directly using either a pure python implementation, or the faster, but more resource intensive git command implementation.

The object database implementation is optimized for handling large quantities of objects and large datasets, which is achieved by using low-level structures and data streaming.

REQUIREMENTS

GitPython needs the git executable to be installed on the system and available in your PATH for most operations. If it is not in your PATH, you can help GitPython find it by setting the GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE=<path/to/git> environment variable.

Git (1.7.x or newer)

The list of dependencies are listed in ./requirements.txt and ./test-requirements.txt. The installer takes care of installing them for you.

INSTALL

If you have downloaded the source code:

python setup.py install

or if you want to obtain a copy from the Pypi repository:

pip install gitpython

Both commands will install the required package dependencies.

A distribution package can be obtained for manual installation at:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GitPython

RUNNING TESTS

The easiest way to run test is by using tox a wrapper around virtualenv. It will take care of setting up environnements with the proper dependencies installed and execute test commands. To install it simply:

pip install tox

Then run:

tox

SOURCE

GitPython's git repo is available on GitHub, which can be browsed at github and cloned like that:

git clone https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython

How to make a new release

Update/verify the version in the VERSION file
Update/verify that the changelog has been updated
Commit everything
Run git tag <version> to tag the version in Git
Run make release
Finally, set the upcoming version in the VERSION file, usually be incrementing the patch level, and possibly by appending -dev. Probably you want to git push once more.
