baguette-olite 0.13

Python wrapper for gitolite

Python wrapper for gitolite. Fork from https://github.com/PressLabs/pyolite.

Easy and simple to user, just pip install baguette-olite.

Gitolite Setup Prereqs

Using Pyolite is very easy, but requires some initial set up. First, your gitolite-admin repo must contain a directory called repos and another one called groups, and all .conf files in these directories should be included in your gitolite.conf file. For example, your gitolite-admin repo might have the following structure:

├── gitolite.conf
└── repos
    └── [ empty ]
└── groups
    └── [ empty ]

And your gitolite.conf file might look like this:

repo gitolite-admin
    RW+     =   admin

repo testing
    RW+     =   @all

include         "repos/*.conf"
include         "groups/*.conf"

This is required because Pyolite makes changes to files only inside the repos and groups directories.

Repository API

First, we need to initialize a pyolite object with the path to gitolite’s repository.

from pyolite import Pyolite

# initial olite object
admin_repository = '/home/absolute/path/to/gitolite/repo/'
olite = Pyolite(admin_repository=admin_repository)

After that, we can create and get a repo using create and get methods.

# create a repo
repo = olite.repos.get('my_repo')
repo = olite.repos.create('ydo')

# List existing Pyolite repos
repos = olite.repos.all()
for repo_it in repos:
    print(repo_it.name)

Every repo has an users object, in order to facilitate basic operations: adding, editing and removing users from a repository.

print("Repo's users: %s" % repo.users)
# list a repo's users
users_as_list = repo.users.list()

# add a new user
user = olite.users.create(name='bob', key_path="~/.ssh/third_rsa.pub")
repo.users.add(olite.users.get('admin'), permission='W+')
repo.users.add('bob', permission='R')

# change user's permissions
repo.users.edit(olite.users.get('admin'), permission='WR+')
repo.users.edit('bob', permission='RCW')

# remove user
repo.users.remove('admin')

Users API

You an easly manipulate users aswell, using allmost the same API.

from pyolite import Pyolite

# initial olite object
admin_repository = '/home/absolute/path/to/gitolite/repo/'
olite = Pyolite(admin_repository=admin_repository)

# create user object
vlad = olite.users.create(name='bob',
                      key_path='~/.ssh/second_rsa.pub')

# get user by name
vlad = olite.users.get(name='admin')

# add new key to user
vlad.keys.append('/path/to/key')
vlad.keys.append('just put the key here')

# check if user is admin or not
print(vlad.is_admin)

# list user's keys and repos
keys_as_list = vlad.list_keys()
repos_as_list = vlad.list_repos()

# delete a user by name
deleted_user = olite.users.delete('username')
print(deleted_user)

Groups API

You an easly manipulate groups aswell, using allmost the same API.

from pyolite import Pyolite

# initial olite object
admin_repository = '/home/absolute/path/to/gitolite/repo/'
olite = Pyolite(admin_repository=admin_repository)

# create group object
group1 = olite.groups.create('group1')
# create is idempotent
group1 = olite.groups.create('group1')

#get or create( `create()` wrapper)
group2 = olite.groups.get_or_create('group2')
group2 = olite.groups.get_or_create('group2')

# get group by name
group1 = olite.groups.get('group1')

# list all groups
olite.groups.all()

# delete a group by name
olite.groups.delete('group1')

# add an user to the gorup
olite.groups.user_add('group1', 'user1')

# delete an user from a group
olite.groups.user_delete('group1', 'user1')

# add a group to a repo
olite.groups.repo_add('group1', 'repo1', 'RW')

# delete a group from a repo
olite.groups.repo_delete('group1', 'repo1')
