gitrecipe 0.0.2

Simple buildout recipe for downloading git repositories. It uses system git command and its syntax

Welcome to gitrecipe doc page

Usage

Recipe clones git repository and checkouts to revision, if it is provided in configuration. You can use recipe like this:

[buildout]
parts = data

[data]
recipe = gitrecipe
repository = git://example.com/my-git-repo.git
rev = origin/redevlop-branch

Options

repository - repository url

ref of rev - git reference wich you want to checkout

Notes

rev option leaved for compatibility with zerokspot.recipe.git. It is better to use ref parameter, because it corresponds Git terminology

Since 0.0.2 recipe does check existing repository while install and update. Repository origin url must be the same as given in rev option. Otherwise repository will be deleted and cloned again.

About

I’ve used recipe zerokspot.recipe.git, but as for me, it too complex and has some disadvantages:

• it does not allow commit from the source folder, default remote is local copy in downloads

• it does not allow to specify the tag or branch of the repository, only revision hash

So I wrote my own git recipe with compatible options. You can choose this or that.
