python-fastimport
This package provides a parser for and generator of the Git fastimport format. (https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-fast-import.html)
Installation
pip install fastimport
Example
Here's a simple example of how to parse a fastimport stream:
from fastimport import parser
# Parse a fastimport stream from a file
with open('export.dat', 'rb') as f:
p = parser.ImportParser(f)
for cmd in p.iter_commands():
if cmd.name == b'commit':
print(f"Commit to branch: {cmd.ref}")
print(f"Author: {cmd.author}")
print(f"Message: {cmd.message}")
elif cmd.name == b'blob':
print(f"Blob mark: {cmd.mark}, size: {len(cmd.data)}")
And here's how to generate a fastimport stream:
from fastimport import commands
# Create a new blob
blob = commands.BlobCommand(
mark=b'1',
data=b'Hello, World!\n',
lineno=0
)
# Create a commit
commit = commands.CommitCommand(
ref=b'refs/heads/main',
mark=b'2',
author=(b'John Doe', b'john@example.com', 1234567890, 0),
committer=(b'John Doe', b'john@example.com', 1234567890, 0),
message=b'Initial commit\n',
from_=None,
merges=None,
file_iter=[
commands.FileModifyCommand(
path=b'hello.txt',
mode=0o100644,
dataref=b':1',
data=None
)
]
)
# Write to a fastimport stream
with open('import.dat', 'wb') as f:
f.write(bytes(blob))
f.write(b'\n')
f.write(bytes(commit))
