A library of [ZF2](http://framework.zend.com/) - [View Helpers](http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.2/en/modules/zend.view.helpers.html) for retrieving information about current application's local [Git](http://git-scm.com/) repository.

Quickstart
----------

[](#quickstart)

### Add this package to your [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/%E2%80%8E) based application

[](#add-this-package-to-your-composer-based-application)

Add this package to `composer.json` and install in `vendor/` by running:

```
composer require \
    websafe/lib-view-helper-git-repository:0.1.*
```

or

```
php vendor/bin/composer.phar require \
    websafe/lib-view-helper-git-repository:0.1.*
```

### Enable provided [view helpers](http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.2/en/modules/zend.view.helpers.html) in your [ZF2 application](https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication)

[](#enable-provided-view-helpers-in-your-zf2-application)

To enable the provided view helpers in your application - copy the file `websafe.view.helper.git.repository.global.php.dist` found in `vendor/websafe/lib-view-helper-git-repository/config/`, to `config/autoload/websafe.view.helper.git.repository.global.php`.

The copied file declares the required [invokables](http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.2/en/modules/zend.view.helpers.advanced-usage.html#registering-helpers) for the provided [view helpers](http://framework.zend.com/manual/2.2/en/modules/zend.view.helpers.html) in your [ZF2 application](https://github.com/zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication).

```
return array(
    'view_helpers' => array(
        'invokables' => array(
            'gitRepoCurrentBranch'
                => 'Websafe\View\Helper\Git\Repository\CurrentBranch',
            'gitRepoDescription'
                => 'Websafe\View\Helper\Git\Repository\Description',
        ),
    ),
);
```
