Create a readable stream from a spawned git process.
gitSpawnedStream(repoPath, spawnArguments, limitInBytes, gitBinary)
Arguments:
repoPath
- the path to the repo, ex: /home/alex/node/.git (or the path to the git bare repo)spawnArguments
- the arguments that will be passed to thechild_process.spawn
functionlimitInBytes
- kill the process if it exceeds the imposed limit (sends more data than allowed)gitBinary
- path to the git binary to use (use the one inPATH
by default)
Example:
var gitSpawnedStream = require('git-spawned-stream'); var path = require('path'); var repoPath = process.env.REPO || path.join(__dirname, '.git'); repoPath = path.resolve(repoPath); var byteLimit = 5 * 1024 * 1024; // 5 Mb // sort of a git log -n 2 var stream = gitSpawnedStream(repoPath, [ 'rev-list', '--max-count=2', '--header', 'HEAD' ], byteLimit); stream.on('data', function(data) { console.log('DATA', data.toString('utf8')); }).on('error', function(err) { console.error('An error occurred:'); console.error('-----------------\n'); console.error(err.message); process.exit(1); }).on('end', function(killed) { // when the stream is cut, killed === true console.log("\n±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±±\nThat's all folks!"); });
