libgit2sharp

Consider the following scenario: Some content (e.g. a web-site) is under git repository having several branches like master (for dev), qa and prod. A .net application (e.g. some cloud service) needs to have always the latest version of one specific branch (e.g. prod). There is no need to fetch full repository, only HEAD of this branch (git clone -b <branch> --depth=1 <remote_repo_url> --single-branch) and perform consequent updates. How would you implement such scenario with libgit2sharp library? Cloning only a truncated portion of the history from a repository (ie. shallow cloning) is not

I want to delete a branch locally and remote. My code: using (var repository = new Repository(path)) { var remote = repository.Network.Remotes["origin"]; var options = new PushOptions(); var credentials = options.CredentialsProvider = GetUserCredentialsProvider(); options.CredentialsProvider = credentials; string pushRefSpec = @"refs/heads/:{0}".FormatWith(branch); repository.Network.Push(remote, pushRefSpec); repository.Branches.Remove(repository.Branches[branch]); } But I get the 401 error ("Unauthorized"). And it's because of the presence of the ":" in the name of the branch. But I read

I'm trying to use libgit2sharp in a web-project. The problem is that libgit2sharp's solution is for VS2010 and I'm using VS2008. So I had to create a new solution and modify the code not to use default parameters. That wasn't a problem, except I'm getting the exception listed in the title when I try to use the compiled libgit2sharp DLL. I've tried linking in the git2.dll, but that hasn't helped. Copying the git2.dll into the web-project hasn't helped either. Edit : The issue was handled over at the LibGit2Sharp issue tracker: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/39 Off the top of my

How may I find all commits in a repository that have a specific parent? For example, if I have a commit A , I would like to find all other commits that share the parent with A . What would be the most effective, i.e. performant yet correct way to do this in LibGit2Sharp? That's a tricky question ;-) The Git object allows to retrieve the parents of a commit. However, there's no easy way to find the children of a commit. The following code would however partially solve this. The idea is to perform a git log from all the references of the repository (heads, tags, ...) and, along the way, select

I got another libgit2 issue and will be very grateful for your help. I'm trying to retrieve file history, i.e. list of commits where this file was changed. And it seems to be quite unconventional... As far as I can see, there are no function for that. The only approach I can come up with is to use revision walking API to iterate through revisions, check the tree object attached to commit and search for given file there, if found, add commit to my list, otherwise proceed to next commit. But it looks none-optimal for me... May be is there any other approach, for example, look directly into .git
