PyGit is a minimal implementation of Git in Python, capable of basic Git operations like committing and pushing to GitHub.
-
Initialize a new Git repository
-
Add files to the index
-
Commit changes with author and message
-
Push commits to a remote GitHub repository
-
Display the status of the working copy
-
Show differences between index and working copy
-
Other basic Git functionalities
No installation is required. Just clone this repository and run the script directly.
PyGit is a command-line tool and can be used with various commands similar to Git:
python pygit.py [options]
-
init <repo>: Initialize a new repository. -
add <paths>: Add file(s) to the index. -
commit -m <message> [-a <author>]: Commit the current state of the index to the master branch. -
push <git_url> [-u <username>] [-p <password>]: Push the master branch to the given Git server URL. -
status: Show the status of the working copy. -
diff: Show the diff of files changed between the index and the working copy. -
cat-file <mode> <hash_prefix>: Display contents of the object. -
ls-files [-s]: List files in the index. -
hash-object <path> [-t <type>] [-w]: Hash the contents of the given path.
- Initialize a new repository:
python pygit.py init my_repo
-
Add a file to the index:
python pygit.py add my_file.txt
- Commit changes:
python pygit.py commit -m "Initial commit"
- Push to remote:
python pygit.py push https://github.com/username/repo.git
