1. Add Files to Index¶
luagit2’s “add” example
( equivalent to git add <file> )
It shows how to modify the index
The user should pass a valid git repository’s path as 1st argument. and can pass as many file path to add to the current index as he/she wishes.
Note
The passed file paths must be relative to the given repository’s path
This file can be executed directly with some arguments.
local luagit2 = require("luagit2")
luagit2.init() -- initialize libgit2's threading and global state.
local repo_path = arg[1] -- Get the repository's path
local num_files = (#arg) -- Count total number of arguments
local repo = luagit2.repository_open(repo_path) -- open repository
local repo_index = luagit2.repository_index(repo) -- open repository's index
for i=2,num_files do
luagit2.index_add_bypath(repo_index,arg[i]) -- Add files to index
end
luagit2.index_write(repo_index) -- Write added files to git index.
luagit2.index_free(repo_index) -- Free the used index
luagit2.repository_free(repo) -- Free used repository.
luagit2.shutdown() -- Shutdown libgit threading and global state.
