Have you had a chance to work with Git? If so, did you know that you can work with your git repository from within python script?

GitPython python library does exactly this job:

#python #git #push #pull #GitPython

Few days ago we talk about gitPython to work with git inside of python. The code below is a sample that would do all routine tasks like pulling and pushing or commit.

1- Initiate git object in python by providing path:

from git import Repo
 repo = Repo(repo_path)

2- If you want to pull results from git repo:

repo.git.pull('origin', 'refs/heads/dev')

3- Let's say you want to set username and email for git author:

config = repo.config_writer()
 config.set_value("user", "email", author_email)
 config.set_value("user", "name", author_name)

4- Now to add a specific file to staged:

index = repo.index
 index.add([file_path])

5- Commit the staged file with a message:

index.commit(commit_message)

6- The final step is to push to a remote repo:

repo.git.push('origin', 'refs/heads/dev')

#python #git #gitPython #pull #push #author

#git #commit

I sometimes forgot to pull data from git before start working on a project. To minimize the headache of merge conflict or having to reset head and stash your data you can set a cronjob to run every 10 minute or so. And inside of your bash script CD into eaach of your folders and issue git pull command.

If you have similar issues and you're solving it in a different manner, I'd be happy to hear about it. :)

#linux #mac #bash #script #git #cron #crontab #cronjob

If you forget to pull your projects from git in a regular interval and many users working on the same projects, then there is a solution for you!

Create a bash script file as follow and make it executable by chmod +x puller.sh:

puller.sh file content:

#!/bin/bash

 echo 'Iterating over folders...'
 for dir in *
 do
   test -d "$dir" && {
       cd ${dir}
       echo "git pull $dir"
       git pull
       cd ".."
   } || {
       echo "------> $dir is not a directory <-------"
   }
 done

NOTE: this file should reside in your folder's project root. In my case it is in /Your/Projects/Folder.

Now as a final step, put it in your crontab:

10 * * * * bash -c "cd /Your/Projects/Folder; bash puller.sh >> /var/log/git_pull_output.log"

#linux #git #pull #cronjob #crontab #cron #bash
