Git::FastExport - A module to parse the output of git-fast-export
use Git;
use Git::FastExport;
my $repo = Git->repository( Repository => $path );
my $export = Git::FastExport->new($repo);
while ( my $block = $export->next_block() ) {
# do something with $block
}
Git::FastExport is a module that parses the output of git-fast-export and returns Git::FastExport::Block objects that can be inspected or modified before being eventually passed on as the input to git-fast-import.
This class provides the following methods:
The constructor takes an optional git directory (a string used as a parameter to Git->repository( Directory => ... )) or Git repository object, and returns a Git::FastExport object attached to it.
Initialize a git-fast-export command on the repository, using the arguments given in @args.
Return the next block in the git-fast-export stream as a Git::FastExport::Block object.
Return nothing at the end of stream.
This methods reads from the export_fh filehandle of the Git::FastExport object. It is normally setup via the fast_export() method, but it is possible to read from STDIN by doing:
$export->{export_fh} = \*STDIN;
while ( my $block = $export->next_block() ) {
...
}
