Function

GgitRepositoryopen

Declaration [src]

GgitRepository*
ggit_repository_open (
  GFile* location,
  GError** error
)

Description [src]

Open a git repository.

The path must point to an existing git repository folder, e.g.

/path/to/my_repo/.git/  (normal repository)
                    objects/
                    index
                    HEAD

/path/to/bare_repo/     (bare repository)
                objects/
                index
                HEAD

The method will automatically detect if path is a normal or bare repository or fail if it is neither.

Parameters

Type: GFile

The location of the repository.

A newly created GgitRepository.

The caller of the function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.

The return value can be NULL.
