libvcs ·

libvcs is a lite, typed, pythonic tool box for detection and parsing of URLs, commanding, and syncing with git, hg, and svn. Powers vcspull.

Overview

Features for Git, Subversion, and Mercurial:

• Detect and parse VCS URLs
• Command VCS via python API
• Sync repos locally

To get started, see the quickstart for more.

$ pip install --user libvcs

URL Parsing (experimental)

You can validate and parse Git, Mercurial, and Subversion URLs through libvcs.parse:

Validate:

>>> from libvcs.parse.git import GitUrl

>>> GitURL.is_valid(url='https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs.git')
True

Parse and adjust a Git URL:

from libvcs.parse.git import GitUrl

>>> git_location = GitURL(url='[email protected]:vcs-python/libvcs.git')

>>> git_location
GitURL([email protected]:vcs-python/libvcs.git,
        hostname=github.com,
        path=vcs-python/libvcs,
        user=git,
        suffix=.git,
        matcher=core-git-scp)

Switch repo libvcs -> vcspull:

>>> git_location.path = 'vcs-python/vcspull'

>>> git_location.to_url()
'[email protected]:vcs-python/vcspull.git'

# Switch them to gitlab:
>>> git_location.hostname = 'gitlab.com'

# Export to a `git clone` compatible URL.
>>> git_location.to_url()
'[email protected]:vcs-python/vcspull.git'

See more in the parser document.

Commands (experimental)

Simple subprocess wrappers around git(1), hg(1), svn(1). Here is Git w/ Git.clone:

import pathlib
from libvcs.cmd.git import Git

git = Git(dir=pathlib.Path.cwd() / 'my_git_repo')
git.clone(url='https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs.git')

Projects

Create a GitProject object of the project to inspect / checkout / update:

import pathlib
from libvcs.projects.git import GitProject

repo = GitProject(
   url="https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs",
   dir=pathlib.Path().cwd() / "my_repo",
   remotes={
       'gitlab': 'https://gitlab.com/vcs-python/libvcs'
   }
)

Update / clone repo:

>>> r.update_repo()

Get revision:

>>> r.get_revision()
u'5c227e6ab4aab44bf097da2e088b0ff947370ab8'
