Gitter
======

[](#gitter)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6435847a011e7f50f6ee235a7ac9c433d8e0689088f8d7a7491e7f7fab33462e/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f6b6c61757373696c76656972612f6769747465722e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/klaussilveira/gitter)

Gitter allows you to interact in an object oriented manner with Git repositories via PHP. The main goal of the library is not to replace the system `git` command, but provide a coherent, stable and performatic object oriented interface.

Most commands are sent to the system's `git` command, parsed and then interpreted by Gitter. Everything is transparent to you, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- git () (tested with 1.7.5.4)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Gitter is very easy to use and you'll just need a few method calls to get started. For example, to create a new repository:

```
$client = new Gitter\Client;
$repository = $client->createRepository('/home/user/test');

```

Or a bare repository:

```
$client = new Gitter\Client;
$repository = $client->createRepository('/home/user/test', true);

```

Or to open an existing repository:

```
$client = new Gitter\Client;
$repository = $client->getRepository('/home/user/anothertest');

```

Both methods will return a `Repository` object, which has various methods that allow you to interact with that repository.

### Getting a list of commits

[](#getting-a-list-of-commits)

Once you get hold of the `Repository` object, you can use:

```
$commits = $repository->getCommits();
print_r($commits);

```

To get a list of various commits.

### Getting a single commit

[](#getting-a-single-commit)

Given a specific commit hash, you can find information about that commit:

```
$commit = $repository->getCommit('920be98a05');
print_r($commit);

```

### Getting statistics for repository

[](#getting-statistics-for-repository)

Statistics aggregators can be added to the repository:

```
$repository->addStatistics(array(
    new Gitter\Statistics\Contributors,
    new Gitter\Statistics\Date,
    new Gitter\Statistics\Day,
    new Gitter\Statistics\Hour
));
print_r($repository->getStatistics());

```
