DESCRIPTION

A Git::Raw::Remote represents a Git remote.

WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).

METHODS

create( $repo, $name, $url )

Create a remote with the default fetch refspec and add it to the repository's configuration.

create_anonymous( $repo, $url, $fetch_refspec )

Create a remote in memory (anonymous).

load( $repo, $name )

Load an existing remote.

owner( )

Retrieve the Git::Raw::Repository owning the remote.

default_branch( )

Retrieve the default branch of remote repository, that is, the branch which HEAD points to. If the remote does not support reporting this information directly, it performs the guess as git does, that is, if there are multiple branches which point to the same commit, the first one is chosen. If the master branch is a candidate, it wins. If the information cannot be determined, this function will return undef. Note, this function should only be called after the remote has established a connection.

name( [ $name, \@problems ] )

Retrieve the name of the remote. If $name is passed, the remote's name will be updated and returned. Non-default refspecs cannot be renamed and will be store in @problems if provided.

url( [ $url ] )

Retrieve the URL of the remote. If $url is passed, the remote's URL will be updated and returned.

pushurl( [ $url ] )

Retrieve the push URL for the remote. If $url is passed, teh rmeote's push URL will be updated and returned.

check_cert( $value )

Set whether to check the server's certificate (applies to HTTPS only).

add_fetch( $spec )

Add a fetch spec to the remote.

add_push( $spec )

Add a push spec to the remote.

clear_refspecs( )

Clear the remote's refspecs.

refspec_count( )

Retrieve the refspec count.

refspecs( )

Retrieve the remote's refspecs. Returns a list of Git::Raw::RefSpec objects.

ls( )

Retrieve the list of refs at the remote. Returns a hash reference where the key is the name of the reference, and the value is a hash reference containing the following values:

• "local"

  Whether the reference exists locally.

• "id"

  The OID of the reference.

• "lid"

  The local OID of the reference (optional).

callbacks( \%callbacks )

• "credentials"

  The callback to be called any time authentication is required to connect to the remote repository. The callback receives a string containing the URL of the remote, and it must return a Git::Raw::Cred object.

• "sideband_progress"

  Textual progress from the remote. Text send over the progress side-band will be passed to this function (this is the 'counting objects' output). The callback receives a string containing progress information.

• "transfer_progress"

  During the download of new data, this will be regularly called with the current count of progress done by the indexer. The callback receives the following integers: total_objects, received_objects, local_objects, total_deltas, indexed_deltas and received_bytes.

• "update_tips"

  Each time a reference is updated locally, this function will be called with information about it. The callback receives a string containing the name of the reference that was updated, and the two OID's a before and after b the update.

fetch( )

Download new data and update tips. Convenience function to connect to a remote, download the data, disconnect and update the remote-tracking branches.

connect( $direction )

Connect to the remote. The $direction should either be "fetch" or "push".

disconnect( )

Disconnect the remote.

download( )

Download the remote packfile.

save( )

Save the remote to its repository's config.

update_tips( )

Update the tips to the new status.

is_connected( )

Check if the remote is connected.

is_url_valid( $url )

Check whether $url is a valid remote URL.

is_url_supported( $url )
