salt.modules.git¶

Support for the Git SCM

salt.modules.git.add(cwd, filename, opts='', git_opts='', user=None, password=None, ignore_retcode=False, output_encoding=None)¶

Changed in version 2015.8.0: The --verbose command line argument is now implied

Interface to git-add(1)

cwd: The path to the git checkout
filename: The location of the file/directory to add, relative to cwd
opts: Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

Note

On the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to avoid causing errors with Salt's own argument parsing.
git_opts: Any additional options to add to git command itself (not the add subcommand), in a single string. This is useful for passing -c to run git with temporary changes to the git configuration.

New in version 2017.7.0.

Note

This is only supported in git 1.7.2 and newer.
user: User under which to run the git command. By default, the command is run by the user under which the minion is running.
password: Windows only. Required when specifying user. This parameter will be ignored on non-Windows platforms.

New in version 2016.3.4.
ignore_retcodeFalse: If True, do not log an error to the minion log if the git command returns a nonzero exit status.

New in version 2015.8.0.
output_encoding: Use this option to specify which encoding to use to decode the output from any git commands which are run. This should not be needed in most cases.

Note

This should only be needed if the files in the repository were created with filenames using an encoding other than UTF-8 to handle Unicode characters.

New in version 2018.3.1.

CLI Examples:

salt myminion git.add /path/to/repo foo/bar.py
salt myminion git.add /path/to/repo foo/bar.py opts='--dry-run'

salt.modules.git.archive(cwd, output, rev='HEAD', prefix=None, git_opts='', user=None, password=None, ignore_retcode=False, output_encoding=None, **kwargs)¶

Changed in version 2015.8.0: Returns True if successful, raises an error if not.

Interface to git-archive(1), exports a tarball/zip file of the repository

cwd

The path to be archived

Note

git archive permits a partial archive to be created. Thus, this path does not need to be the root of the git repository. Only the files within the directory specified by cwd (and its subdirectories) will be in the resulting archive. For example, if there is a git checkout at /tmp/foo, then passing /tmp/foo/bar as the cwd will result in just the files underneath /tmp/foo/bar to be exported as an archive.

output

The path of the archive to be created

overwriteFalse

Unless set to True, Salt will over overwrite an existing archive at the path specified by the output argument.

New in version 2015.8.0.

revHEAD

The revision from which to create the archive

format

Manually specify the file format of the resulting archive. This argument can be omitted, and git archive will attempt to guess the archive type (and compression) from the filename. zip, tar, tar.gz, and tgz are extensions that are recognized automatically, and git can be configured to support other archive types with the addition of git configuration keys.

See the git-archive(1) manpage explanation of the --format argument (as well as the CONFIGURATION section of the manpage) for further information.

New in version 2015.8.0.

prefix

Prepend <prefix> to every filename in the archive. If unspecified, the name of the directory at the top level of the repository will be used as the prefix (e.g. if cwd is set to /foo/bar/baz, the prefix will be baz, and the resulting archive will contain a top-level directory by that name).

Note

The default behavior if the --prefix option for git archive is not specified is to not prepend a prefix, so Salt's behavior differs slightly from git archive in this respect. Use prefix='' to create an archive with no prefix.

Changed in version 2015.8.0: The behavior of this argument has been changed slightly. As of this version, it is necessary to include the trailing slash when specifying a prefix, if the prefix is intended to create a top-level directory.

git_opts

Any additional options to add to git command itself (not the archive subcommand), in a single string. This is useful for passing -c to run git with temporary changes to the git configuration.

New in version 2017.7.0.

Note

This is only supported in git 1.7.2 and newer.

user

User under which to run the git command. By default, the command is run by the user under which the minion is running.

password

New in version 2016.3.4.

ignore_retcodeFalse

If True, do not log an error to the minion log if the git command returns a nonzero exit status.

New in version 2015.8.0.

output_encoding

Use this option to specify which encoding to use to decode the output from any git commands which are run. This should not be needed in most cases.

Note

This should only be needed if the files in the repository were created with filenames using an encoding other than UTF-8 to handle Unicode characters.

New in version 2018.3.1.

CLI Example:

salt myminion git.archive /path/to/repo /path/to/archive.tar

Interface to git-branch(1)

cwd: The path to the git checkout
name: Name of the branch on which to operate. If not specified, the current branch will be assumed.
opts: Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

Note

To create a branch based on something other than HEAD, pass the name of the revision as opts. If the revision is in the format remotename/branch, then this will also set the remote tracking branch.

Additionally, on the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to avoid causing errors with Salt's own argument parsing.
git_opts: Any additional options to add to git command itself (not the branch subcommand), in a single string. This is useful for passing -c to run git with temporary changes to the git configuration.

New in version 2017.7.0.

Note

This is only supported in git 1.7.2 and newer.
user: User under which to run the git command. By default, the command is run by the user under which the minion is running.
password: Windows only. Required when specifying user. This parameter will be ignored on non-Windows platforms.

Interface to git-checkout(1)

cwd: The path to the git checkout
opts: Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

Note

On the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to avoid causing errors with Salt's own argument parsing.
git_opts: Any additional options to add to git command itself (not the checkout subcommand), in a single string. This is useful for passing -c to run git with temporary changes to the git configuration.

New in version 2017.7.0.

message: Commit message
opts: Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string. These opts will be added to the end of the git command being run.

Note

On the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to avoid causing errors with Salt's own argument parsing.

The -m option should not be passed here, as the commit message will be defined by the message argument.

When two revisions are passed, they will be compared to each other.
opts: Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

Note

On the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to avoid causing errors with Salt's own argument parsing.

If this is left False in these instances, then a normal git diff will be performed against the index (i.e. unstaged changes), and files in the paths option will be used to narrow down the diff output.

Note

Requires Git 1.5.1 or newer. Additionally, when set to True, item1 and item2 will be ignored.
cachedFalse: If True, compare staged changes to item1 (if specified), otherwise compare them to the most recent commit.

Note

item2 is ignored if this option is is set to True.
paths: File paths to pass to the git diff command. Can be passed as a comma-separated list or a Python list.

salt.modules.git.worktree_rm(cwd, user=None, output_encoding=None)¶

New in version 2015.8.0.

Recursively removes the worktree located at cwd, returning True if successful. This function will attempt to determine if cwd is actually a worktree by invoking git.is_worktree. If the path does not correspond to a worktree, then an error will be raised and no action will be taken.

Warning

There is no undoing this action. Be VERY careful before running this function.

cwd: Path to the worktree to be removed
user: Used for path expansion when cwd is not an absolute path. By default, when cwd is not absolute, the path will be assumed to be relative to the home directory of the user under which the minion is running. Setting this option will change the home directory from which path expansion is performed.
output_encoding: Use this option to specify which encoding to use to decode the output from any git commands which are run. This should not be needed in most cases.

Note

This should only be needed if the files in the repository were created with filenames using an encoding other than UTF-8 to handle Unicode characters.
