NAME
Git::Archive - For automated file archiving with Git
SYNOPSIS
use Git::Archive;
Git::Archive->commit({ msg => "Committing files", files => [qw/foo bar/] });
DESCRIPTION
When you want to have code maintain a file archive by committing changes
to a Git repo, you don't have the luxury of being lazy and simply
telling the code to do:
git pull
git commit changes
git push
Many little things can go wrong:
What if files are already staged when your code goes to commit its
changes?
What if there are conflicts on pull?
What if the world ends?
This is a module that helps you not have to care about such questions!
(Two out of three ain't bad)
The goal is to allow you to simply call the commit method, and know that
you'll get a useful error and safe recovery to a working state, whatever
goes wrong.
Arguments:
msg
Commit message. This one is mandatory.
files
List of filenames to commit. Necessary unless you specify all_tracked or
all_dirty. Can be either a string of space-separated filenames, or an
arrayref of filename strings. If any of the filenames will contain a
space, you must use the arrayref option. Otherwise, use whichever you
prefer.
error
Default behaviour for errors is to just dump them to STDERR.
If you want something more exciting (like email!) supply a subref here.
Error sub arguments:
$args
Hashref, mostly the arguments you passed in when calling the commit
method
$error
String containing the actual error message
success
If you want to execute some code upon successful commit supply the
function here
Success sub arguments:
$args
Hashref, mostly the arguments you passed in when calling the commit
method
all_tracked
If you want to simply commit all tracked files, set this to be true
all_dirty
If you want to commit all changes in the directory, tracked or not, set
this to be true
use_remote
If you want to push to a remote, set this to the name of the remote
(You'll typically want this to be 'origin')
check_all_staged
If you want to make sure every file supplied in the 'files' arg is
staged before committing, set this to be true: It will then throw an
error if the file was unchanged/doesn't exist
git_dir
If you want to use a directory other than the current one as your repo,
specify it here
Note: If your git-controlled dir is ./foo and you want to commit the
file ./foo/bar/baz then ( git_dir => './foo', files => 'bar/baz' )
sudo
If you want to call git as a different user via sudo, specify that user
here
