Well the title is self explanatory. What will be the python code equivalent to running git reset --hard
(on terminal) using GitPython module?
I searched for reset
in the documentation and found this:
class git.refs.head.HEAD(repo, path='HEAD')
reset(commit='HEAD', index=True, working_tree=False, paths=None, **kwargs)
Reset our HEAD to the given commit optionally synchronizing the index and working tree. The reference we refer to will be set to commit as well.
You can use:
repo = git.Repo('repo')
# ...
# Remove last commit
repo.head.reset('HEAD~1', index=True, working_tree=True)
You can use:
repo = git.Repo('c:/SomeRepo')
repo.git.reset('--hard')
Or if you need to reset to a specific branch:
repo.git.reset('--hard','origin/master')
Or in my case, if you want to just hard update a repo to origin/master (warning, this will nuke your current changes):
# blast any current changes
repo.git.reset('--hard')
# ensure master is checked out
repo.heads.master.checkout()
# blast any changes there (only if it wasn't checked out)
repo.git.reset('--hard')
# remove any extra non-tracked files (.pyc, etc)
repo.git.clean('-xdf')
# pull in the changes from from the remote
repo.remotes.origin.pull()
