webkitscmpy

Provides a utilities for interacting with a git or svn repository.

Requirements

• webkitcorepy
• fasteners
• monotonic
• xmltodict

Command Line

The git-webkit command supports a common set of basic repository manipulations. Most notably:

git-webkit find <ref>: Print out commit information for a git ref, Subversion revision or identifier.

git-webkit checkout <ref>: Move the current local repository to the provided git ref, Subversion revision or identifier.

git-webkit canonicalize: Standardize commit authorship and put identifiers into the commit message.

Usage

The webkitscmpy library provides a repository abstraction for both local and remote repositories. To instantiate a repository object, use the local.Scm.from_path and remote.Scm.from_url functions.

from webkitscmpy import local, remote

on_disk = local.Scm.from_path(<path>)
subversion = remote.Scm.from_url('https://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit')
github = remote.Scm.from_url('https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit')

While the abstraction layer is consistent for all implementations not all implementation support every feature. For example, remote repositories do not have a checkout command available.

Each repository keeps a list of contributors, which can be primed and passed into the repository object:

from webkitscmpy import local, Contributor
contributors = Contributor.Mapping()
contributors.create('Jonathan Bedard', 'jbedard@apple.com')
local.Scm.from_path(<path>, contributors=contributors)
