# @push.rocks/smartgit > 🚀 **Modern Git operations for Node.js** - A powerful TypeScript wrapper around isomorphic-git that makes repository management and analysis a breeze [![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/@push.rocks%2Fsmartgit.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/js/@push.rocks%2Fsmartgit) [![TypeScript](https://badgen.net/badge/built%20with/TypeScript/blue)](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) ## ✨ What is SmartGit? SmartGit is a sophisticated, promise-based Git toolkit designed for Node.js applications. Built on top of `isomorphic-git`, it provides a clean, intuitive API for repository management, diff analysis, and commit history exploration. Perfect for automation tools, CI/CD pipelines, and any application that needs to interact with Git repositories programmatically. ## 🎯 Key Features - **🔧 Repository Management** - Create, clone, and open repositories with ease - **🌐 Remote Operations** - Manage remotes and push changes effortlessly - **📊 Diff Analysis** - Get detailed diffs of uncommitted changes - **📚 Commit History** - Extract commit messages with metadata and version tracking - **⚡ Async/Await** - Modern promise-based API throughout - **🛡️ TypeScript First** - Full type safety and IntelliSense support - **🎯 Production Ready** - Battle-tested and actively maintained ## 📦 Installation ```bash # Using pnpm (recommended) pnpm install @push.rocks/smartgit # Using npm npm install @push.rocks/smartgit # Using yarn yarn add @push.rocks/smartgit ``` ## 🚀 Quick Start ```typescript import { Smartgit } from '@push.rocks/smartgit'; // Initialize SmartGit const smartgit = new Smartgit(); await smartgit.init(); // Clone a repository const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByClone( 'https://github.com/username/repo.git', './local-repo' ); console.log('🎉 Repository cloned successfully!'); ``` ## 📖 Usage Guide ### 🏗️ Repository Operations #### Creating a New Repository ```typescript const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByInit('./my-new-repo'); ``` #### Cloning from Remote ```typescript const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByClone( 'https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World.git', './hello-world' ); ``` #### Opening Existing Repository ```typescript const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./existing-repo'); ``` ### 🌐 Working with Remotes #### List All Remotes ```typescript const remotes = await repo.listRemotes(); console.log(remotes); // Output: [{ remote: 'origin', url: 'https://github.com/...' }] ``` #### Ensure Remote Exists ```typescript await repo.ensureRemote('origin', 'https://github.com/username/repo.git'); ``` #### Get Remote URL ```typescript const originUrl = await repo.getUrlForRemote('origin'); console.log(`📡 Origin URL: ${originUrl}`); ``` #### Push to Remote ```typescript await repo.pushBranchToRemote('main', 'origin'); console.log('✅ Changes pushed successfully!'); ``` ### 📊 Diff Analysis Get a detailed diff of uncommitted changes (perfect for code review automation): ```typescript const diffs = await repo.getUncommittedDiff(['node_modules/*', '*.log']); diffs.forEach(diff => { console.log('📝 File changes:'); console.log(diff); }); ``` ### 📚 Commit History Analysis Extract commit history with package.json version tracking: ```typescript const history = await repo.getAllCommitMessages(); history.forEach(commit => { console.log(`🕐 ${commit.date} | v${commit.version} | ${commit.message}`); }); // Example output: // 🕐 2024-01-15 | v1.2.3 | feat: add new authentication method // 🕐 2024-01-14 | v1.2.2 | fix: resolve memory leak in parser ``` ## 🛠️ Advanced Usage ### Error Handling ```typescript try { const repo = await smartgit.createRepoByClone(invalidUrl, './test'); } catch (error) { console.error('❌ Clone failed:', error.message); } ``` ### Working with Multiple Repositories ```typescript const smartgit = new Smartgit(); await smartgit.init(); const repositories = [ await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./repo1'), await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./repo2'), await smartgit.createRepoByOpen('./repo3') ]; // Analyze all repositories for (const repo of repositories) { const remotes = await repo.listRemotes(); console.log(`📂 Repository has ${remotes.length} remotes`); } ``` ## 🏗️ Architecture SmartGit is built with a clean, modular architecture: - **`Smartgit`** - Main entry point and repository factory - **`GitRepo`** - Individual repository operations and analysis - **`isomorphic-git`** - Underlying Git implementation - **Environment Detection** - Automatic Node.js environment setup ## 🎯 Use Cases - **🤖 Automation Scripts** - Automate repository management and analysis - **🔄 CI/CD Pipelines** - Repository operations in build processes - **📊 Code Analysis Tools** - Extract commit data and diff analysis - **🛠️ Developer Tools** - Build Git-powered development utilities - **📱 Release Management** - Track versions and generate changelogs ## 🔧 Requirements - **Node.js** 16+ (Browser support not available) - **Git repository** access (for clone operations) - **TypeScript** 4+ (recommended) ## 🤝 API Reference ### Smartgit Class | Method | Description | Returns | |--------|-------------|---------| | `init()` | Initialize the SmartGit instance | `Promise` | | `createRepoByInit(dir)` | Create new repository | `Promise` | | `createRepoByClone(url, dir)` | Clone repository | `Promise` | | `createRepoByOpen(dir)` | Open existing repository | `Promise` | ### GitRepo Class | Method | Description | Returns | |--------|-------------|---------| | `listRemotes()` | List all remotes | `Promise<{remote: string, url: string}[]>` | | `ensureRemote(name, url)` | Ensure remote exists | `Promise` | | `getUrlForRemote(name)` | Get URL for remote | `Promise` | | `pushBranchToRemote(branch, remote)` | Push branch to remote | `Promise` | | `getUncommittedDiff(excludeFiles?)` | Get uncommitted changes | `Promise` | | `getAllCommitMessages()` | Get commit history | `Promise` | ## 💡 Pro Tips - **🔧 Always call `init()`** before using any repository operations - **📁 Use absolute paths** for repository directories when possible - **🚫 Exclude large files** from diff analysis using the `excludeFiles` parameter - **⚡ Batch operations** when working with multiple repositories - **🛡️ Handle errors gracefully** - network issues can cause clone operations to fail ## License and Legal Information This repository contains open-source code that is licensed under the MIT License.
