Create and access git repositories
gitlib provides methods to initialize new repositories.
Create a repository
To initialize a new repository, use method Admin::init.
// Initialize a bare repository
$repository = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::init('/path/to/repository');
// Initialize a non-bare repository
$repository = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::init('/path/to/repository', false);
Default behavior is to create a bare repository. If you want to
initialize a repository with a working copy,pass false as third
argument of Repository constructor.
Cloning repositories
You can clone a repository from an URL by doing:
// Clone to a bare repository
$repository = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::cloneTo('/tmp/gitlib', 'https://github.com/gitonomy/gitlib.git');
// Clone to a non-bare repository
$repository = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::cloneTo('/tmp/gitlib', 'https://github.com/gitonomy/gitlib.git', false);
Default behavior is to clone in a bare repository.
You can also clone a repository and point it to a specific branch. In a non-bare repository, this branch will be checked out:
// Clone to a bare repository
$repository = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::cloneBranchTo('/tmp/gitlib', 'https://github.com/gitonomy/gitlib.git', 'a-branch');
// Clone to a non-bare repository
$repository = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::cloneBranchTo('/tmp/gitlib', 'https://github.com/gitonomy/gitlib.git', 'a-branch', false);
Clone a Repository object
If you already have a Repository instance and want to clone it, you can use this shortcut:
$new = $repository->cloneTo('/tmp/clone');
Mirror a repository
If you want to mirror fully a repository and all references, use the
mirrorTo method. This method takes only two arguments, where to mirror
and what to mirror:
// Mirror to a bare repository
$mirror = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::mirrorTo('/tmp/mirror', 'https://github.com/gitonomy/gitlib.git');
// Mirror to a non-bare repository
$mirror = Gitonomy\Git\Admin::mirrorTo('/tmp/mirror', 'https://github.com/gitonomy/gitlib.git', false);
