# Git::Raw::Remote(3pm)

Git remote class

## NAME

Git::Raw::Remote - Git remote class

## VERSION

version 0.90

## SYNOPSIS

```
    use Git::Raw;
    # open the Git repository at $path
    my $repo = Git::Raw::Repository -> open($path);
    # add a new remote
    my $remote = Git::Raw::Remote -> create($repo, 'origin', $url);
    # connect the remote and set the acquire credentials callback
    $remote -> connect('fetch', {
      'credentials' => sub {
        Git::Raw::Cred -> userpass($usr, $pwd)
      },
    });
    # fetch from the remote and update the local tips
    $remote -> download;
    $remote -> update_tips({
      'update_tips' => sub {
        my ($ref, $a, $b) = @_;
        print "Updated $ref: $a -> $b", "\n";
      }
    });
    # disconnect
    $remote -> disconnect;
    my $empty_repo = Git::Raw::Repository -> new;
    my $anonymous_remote = Git::Raw::Remote -> create_anonymous($repo, $url);
    my $list = $anonymous_remote -> ls;
```

## DESCRIPTION

A `"Git::Raw::Remote"` represents a Git remote.

**WARNING**: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).

## METHODS

### create( $repo, $name, $url, \[$fetch\] )

Create a remote with the default fetch refspec or `$fetch` if provided, and add it to the repository's configuration.

### create\_anonymous( $repo, $url )

Create a remote in memory (anonymous).

### load( $repo, $name )

Load an existing remote. Returns a Git::Raw::Remote object if the remote was found, otherwise `"undef"`.

### delete( $repo, $name )

Delete an existing remote.

### owner( )

Retrieve the Git::Raw::Repository owning the remote.

### default\_branch( )

Retrieve the default branch of remote repository, that is, the branch which HEAD points to. If the remote does not support reporting this information directly, it performs the guess as git does, that is, if there are multiple branches which point to the same commit, the first one is chosen. If the master branch is a candidate, it wins. If the information cannot be determined, this function will return `"undef"`. **Note**, this function should only be called after the remote has established a connection.

### name( )

Retrieve the name of the remote.

### rename( $repo, $old\_name, $new\_name, \[ \\@problems \] )

Rename a remote. Non-default refspecs cannot be renamed and will be stored in `@problems` if provided.

### url( \[ $url \] )

Retrieve the URL of the remote. If `$url` is passed, the remote's URL will be updated and returned.

### pushurl( \[ $url \] )

Retrieve the push URL for the remote. If `$url` is passed, the remote's push URL will be updated and returned.

### add\_fetch( $spec )

Add a fetch spec to the remote.

### add\_push( $spec )

Add a push spec to the remote.

### refspec\_count( )

Retrieve the refspec count.

### refspecs( )

Retrieve the remote's refspecs. Returns a list of Git::Raw::RefSpec objects.

### ls( )

Retrieve the list of refs at the remote. Returns a hash reference where the key is the name of the reference, and the value is a hash reference containing the following values:

- •

  "local"

  Whether the reference exists locally.

- •

  "id"

  The OID of the reference.

- •

  "lid"

  The local OID of the reference (optional).

### fetch( \[ \\%fetch\_opts, \[ \\@refspecs \] \] )

Download new data and update tips. Convenience function to connect to a remote, download the data, disconnect and update the remote-tracking branches. `@refspecs` is an optional list of refspecs to use for the negotiation with the server to determine the missing objects that need to be downloaded.  Valid fields for the `%fetch_opts` hash are:

- •

  "callbacks"

  See "CALLBACKS" in CALLBACKS.

- •

  "prune"

  NOT IMPLEMENTED.

- •

  "update\_fetchead"

  NOT IMPLEMENTED.

- •

  "download\_tags"

  NOT IMPLEMENTED.

- •

  "custom\_headers"

  NOT IMPLEMENTED.

### push( \\@refspecs, \[ \\%push\_opts \] )

Perform all the steps of a push, including uploading new data and updating the remote tracking-branches. Valid fields for the `%push_opts` hash are:

- •

  "callbacks"

  See "CALLBACKS" in CALLBACKS.

- •

  "custom\_headers"

  NOT IMPLEMENTED.

### connect( $direction, \[ \\%callbacks \] )

Connect to the remote. The `$direction` should either be `"fetch"` or `"push"`.

### disconnect( )

Disconnect the remote.

### download( \[ \\%fetch\_opts, \[ \\@refspecs \] \] )

Download the remote packfile. See `"Git::Raw::Remote->fetch()"` for valid `%fetch_opts` and `@refspecs` values.

### upload( \\@refspecs, \[ \\%push\_opts \] )

Create a packfile and send it to the server. `@refspecs` is a list of refspecs to use for the negotiation with the server to determine the missing objects that need to be uploaded.

### prune( \[ \\%callbacks \] )

Prune tracking refs that are no longer present on remote.

### update\_tips( \[ \\%callbacks \] )

Update the tips to the new status.

### is\_connected( )

Check if the remote is connected.

## CALLBACKS

### credentials

The callback to be called any time authentication is required to connect to the remote repository. The callback receives a string `$url` containing the URL of the remote, the `$user` extracted from the URL and a list of supported authentication `$types`. The callback should return either a Git::Raw::Cred object or alternatively `"undef"` to abort the authentication process. `$types` may contain one or more of the following:

- •

  "userpass\_plaintext"

  Plaintext username and password.

- •

  "ssh\_key"

  A SSH key from disk

- •

  "ssh\_custom"

  A SSH key with a custom signature function.

- •

  "ssh\_interactive"

  Keyboard-interactive based SSH authentication

- •

  "username"

  Username-only credential information.

- •

  "default"

  A key for NTLM/Kerberos default credentials.

**Note:** this callback may be invoked more than once.

### certificate\_check

Callback to be invoked if cert verification fails. The callback receives a Git::Raw::Cert::X509 or Git::Raw::Cert::HostKey object, a truthy value `$valid` and `$host`. This callback should return a negative number to abort.

### sideband\_progress

Textual progress from the remote. Text sent over the progress side-band will be passed to this function (this is the 'counting objects' output or any other information the remote sends). The callback receives a string `$msg` containing the progress information.

### transfer\_progress

During the download of new data, this will be regularly called with the current count of progress done by the indexer. The callback receives a Git::Raw::TransferProgress object.

### update\_tips

Each time a reference is updated locally, this function will be called with information about it. The callback receives a string containing the reference `$ref` of the reference that was updated, and the two OID's `$a` before and after `$b` the update. `$a` will be `"undef"` if the reference was created, likewise `$b` will be `"undef"` if the reference was removed.

### push\_transfer\_progress

During the upload of new data, this will regularly be called with the transfer progress. The callback receives the following integers: `$current`, `$total` and `$bytes`.

### push\_update\_reference

For each of the updated references, this will be called with a status report for the reference. The callback receives `$ref` and `$msg` as strings. If `$msg` is defined, the reference mentioned in `$ref` has not been updated.

### push\_negotation

The callbacks receives a list of updates that will be sent to the destination. Each items consists of `$src_refname`, `$dst_refname` as well as their OIDs, `$src` and `$dst`. This callback should return a negative number to abort.

### pack\_progress

During the packing of new data, this will regularly be called with the progress of the pack operation. Be aware that this is called inline with pack building operations, so performance may be affected. The callback receives the following integers: `$stage`, `$current` and `$total`.
