Git
===

[](#git)

An OO wrapper for Git allowing use of a Git repo as if it were a filesystem or database.

Talks directly to a Git repo via the Git binary, does not require a working copy or writing files to disk so it also works with a bare repo.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/), add a dependency on `peej/git` to your project's `composer.json` file.

```
{
    "require": {
        "peej/git": "1.0.*"
    }
}

```

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

[](#requirements)

A system with [git](http://git-scm.com/) installed, it is expected to be in the command path.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$repo = new Git\Repo('/tmp/myrepo.git');

// get head commit message
echo $repo->commit()->message;

// get a file from the head
echo $repo->file('mydir/myfile.txt');

// get the latest commit the file was mentioned in
$commit = $repo->file('mydir/myfile.txt')->history[0];

// get a tree for a given path
$tree = $repo->tree('mydir');
echo $tree['myfile.txt'];

// stage a file edit
$repo->update('mydir/myfile.txt', 'new content');

// create a new commit
$repo->save('commit message');

```
