Git commands for grunt.
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-git --save-devOnce the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-git');The gitcommit command used to call git add for you. This is no longer the case. Be sure to add a gitadd task whenever there might be new files to commit. The ignoreEmpty option is no longer supported.
The following options may be applied to any task
Type: Boolean
Default value: none
Console output from the git task will be piped to the output of the grunt script. Useful for debugging.
Type: string
Default value: none
Change the current working directory before executing the git call. Useful for performing operations on repositories that are located in subdirectories.
Note: When performing commands that provide files (e.g. gitcommit), it is also necessary to specify the cwd for the files explicitly.
grunt.initConfig({
gitcommit: {
your_target: {
options: {
cwd: "/path/to/repo"
},
files: [
{
src: ["fileone.txt", "filetwo.js"],
expand: true,
cwd: "/path/to/repo"
}
]
}
},
})Add file contents to the index
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Update the index not only where the working tree has a file matching but also where the index already has an entry. This adds, modifies, and removes index entries to match the working tree.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Allow adding otherwise ignored files.
grunt.initConfig({
gitadd: {
task: {
options: {
force: true
},
files: {
src: ['test.txt']
}
}
},
});Commits the working directory.
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named gitcommit to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
grunt.initConfig({
gitcommit: {
your_target: {
options: {
// Target-specific options go here.
},
files: {
// Specify the files you want to commit
}
}
},
})Each target defines a specific git task that can be run. The different available tasks are listed below.

When true, the task will commit the changes with the --no-status flag.
Commit options:
message: Commit messagefiles: Files to commitnoVerify: Bypass the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks when committing changesnoStatus: Do not include the output ofgit-statusin the commit message
grunt.initConfig({
gitcommit: {
task: {

Remove only files ignored by Git. This may be useful to rebuild everything from scratch, but keep manually created files (optional).
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Don't use the standard ignore rules read from .gitignore (per directory) and $GIT_DIR/info/exclude, but do still use the ignore rules given with this option. This allows removing all untracked files, including build products. This can be used (possibly in conjunction with git reset) to create a pristine working directory to test a clean build (optional).
Type: Boolean

grunt.initConfig({
gitpull: {
your_target: {
options: {

},
})Type: String
Default value: origin
The remote to pull from. The task will not fail if the origin is left unset and pull the default remote git origin.

Default value: 'master'.
The tree or commit to produce an archive for. E.g.: 'master' or a commit hash.
Type: String
Default value: 'tar'.
Format of the resulting archive: 'tar', 'tar.gz', 'zip'. If this option is not given, and the output file is specified, the format is inferred from the filename if possible (e.g. writing to "foo.zip" makes the output to be in the zip format). Otherwise the output format is tar.

Adds the --prefix flag. Don't forget the trailing /.
Type: String
Default value: none.
Adds the --output flag. Write the archive to a file instead of stdout.

Applies a patch (or a series of patches) to your cwd
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named gitapply to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
grunt.initConfig({
gitapply: {
mytarget: {
options: {
patchFiles: './myFile.patch',
}
}
}
})type: String
default value: none.
String (can be a glob), representing the path to the patch files you want to apply
Type: Boolean
Default value: none
Rather than actually applying the patch, outputs a diffstat to your optional callback.
Will not apply your patch by default - override by setting options.apply to true
Type: Boolean
Default value: none
Similar to options.stat, but shows the number of added and deleted lines in decimal notation and the pathname without abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly. For binary files, outputs two - instead of saying 0 0.
Will not apply your patch by default - override by setting options.apply to true
Type: Boolean
Default value: none
Instead of applying the patch, output a condensed summary of information obtained from git diff extended headers, such as creations, renames and mode changes.
Will not apply your patch by default - override by setting options.apply to true
Type: Boolean
Default value: none
Instead of applying the patch, see if the patch is applicable to the current working tree and/or the index file and detects errors.
Will not apply your patch by default - override by setting options.apply to true
type: Boolean
default value: none
when options.check is in effect, or when applying the patch (which is the default when none of the options that disables it is in effect), make sure the patch is applicable to what the current index file records. if the file to be patched in the working tree is not up-to-date, it is flagged as an error. this flag also causes the index file to be updated.
type: Boolean
default value: none
When the patch does not apply cleanly, fall back on 3-way merge if the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to, and we have those blobs available locally, possibly leaving the conflict markers in the files in the working tree for the user to resolve. This option implies options.index, and is incompatible with options.reject and options.cached.
type: Boolean
default value: none
Apply the patch in reverse.
type: Boolean
default value: none
For atomicity, git apply by default fails the whole patch and does not touch the working tree when some of the hunks do not apply. This option makes it apply the parts of the patch that are applicable, and leave the rejected hunks in corresponding *.rej files.
type: Boolean
default value: none
When options.numstat has been given, do not munge pathnames, but use a NUL-terminated machine-readable format.
Without this option, each pathname output will have TAB, LF, double quotes, and backslash characters replaced with \t, \n, \", and \\, respectively, and the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes if any of those replacements occurred.
type: int
default value: none
Removes the number of leading slashes from traditional diff paths as you give in the options (e.g. {p: 10} means remove 10).
type: int
default value: none
Ensure at least the number of lines given in the config of surrounding context match before and after each change. When fewer lines of surrounding context exist they all must match. By default no context is ever ignored.
type: Boolean
default value: none
By default, git apply expects that the patch being applied is a unified diff with at least one line of context. This provides good safety measures, but breaks down when applying a diff generated with --unified=0. To bypass these checks use options.unidiffZero.
type: Boolean
default value: none
If you use any of the options marked "Turns off apply" above, git apply reads and outputs the requested information without actually applying the patch. Give this flag after those flags to also apply the patch.
type: Boolean
default value: none
When applying a patch, ignore additions made by the patch. This can be used to extract the common part between two files by first running diff on them and applying the result with this option, which would apply the deletion part but not the addition part.
type: String
default value: none
Don’t apply changes to files matching the given path pattern. This can be useful when importing patchsets, where you want to exclude certain files or directories.
type: String
default value: none
Apply changes to files matching the given path pattern. This can be useful when importing patchsets, where you want to include certain files or directories.
type: Boolean
default value: none
When applying a patch, ignore changes in whitespace in context lines if necessary. Context lines will preserve their whitespace, and they will not undergo whitespace fixing regardless of the value of this option. New lines will still be fixed, though.
type: Boolean
default value: none
Alias value for options.ignoreSpaceChang
type: String
default value: none
When applying a patch, detect a new or modified line that has whitespace errors. What are considered whitespace errors is controlled by core.whitespace configuration. By default, trailing whitespaces (including lines that solely consist of whitespaces) and a space character that is immediately followed by a tab character inside the initial indent of the line are considered whitespace errors.
By default, the command outputs warning messages but applies the patch. When git-apply is used for statistics and not applying a patch, it defaults to nowarn.
You can use different values to control this behavior:
nowarnturns off the trailing whitespace warning.warnoutputs warnings for a few such errors, but applies the patch as-is (default).fixoutputs warnings for a few such errors, and applies the patch after fixing them (strip is a synonym --- the tool used to consider only trailing whitespace characters as errors, and the fix involved stripping them, but modern Gits do more).erroroutputs warnings for a few such errors, and refuses to apply the patch.error-allis similar to error but shows all errors.
The output is made available via options.callback
type: Boolean
default value: none
Under certain circumstances, some versions of diff do not correctly detect a missing new-line at the end of the file. As a result, patches created by such diff programs do not record incomplete lines correctly. This option adds support for applying such patches by working around this bug.
type: Boolean
default value: none
Do not trust the line counts in the hunk headers, but infer them by inspecting the patch (e.g. after editing the patch without adjusting the hunk headers appropriately).
type: String
default value: none
Prepend the value you assign to options.directory to all filenames. If a options.removeLeadingSlashes also set, it is applied before prepending the new root.
For example, a patch that talks about updating a/git-gui.sh to b/git-gui.sh can be applied to the file in the working tree modules/git-gui/git-gui.sh by setting { directory: "modules/git-gui" }.
type: Boolean
default value: none
By default, a patch that affects outside the working area (either a Git controlled working tree, or the current working directory when "git apply" is used as a replacement of GNU patch) is rejected as a mistake (or a mischief).
type: function
default value: none.
a callback function to call with the log results.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false.
Only show the given commits, and do no traverse their ancestors. Has NO effect if to or from is also specified.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false.
Only list all tagged commits
Fetches the git status, storing the result in a grunt property, and/or calling a callback function with the result.
The result is a list of objects, each with the following properties:
file- the indicated filename.code- a two letter code indicating the status of the file.descr- a short description of the status.
In some cases there is an additional property, alt_file, for example if the file has been renamed.
Here's an example result:
[ { code: 'R ', file: 'from', descr: 'renamed in index',
alt_file: 'to'
},
{ code: '??', file: 'untracked_file.txt', descr: 'untracked' },
{ code: 'A ', file: 'new_file.txt', descr: 'added to index' },
{ code: 'D ', file: 'deprecated_file.txt', descr: 'deleted from index' },
{ code: 'AA', file: 'popular_file.txt', descr: 'unmerged, both added' },
{ code: '!!', file: 'node_modules/', descr: 'ignored' }
]Note that ignored files will only be included if the includeIgnored option is set (see below).
For full details on all the possible codes, please see the git status documentation.
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named gitstatus to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().
Properties prop and callback are both optional, though not using at least one is pointless.
grunt.initConfig({
gitstatus: {
mytarget: {
options: {
prop: 'gitstatus.mytarget.result',
callback: function (result) { ... },
},
},
},
})Type: String
Default value: 'gitstatus.<target name>.result'.
The grunt property in which the result is stored.
Type: Function
Default value: none
A callback function to call with the result.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
If set to true, files ignored by git (in .gitignore for example) are included in the results with a code of "!!".
The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit. If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown. Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit. The result is a "human-readable" object name which can also be used to identify the commit to other git commands.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any ref found in refs/ namespace. This option enables matching any known branch, remote-tracking branch, or lightweight tag.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any tag found in refs/tags namespace. This option enables matching a lightweight (non-annotated) tag.
Type: Boolean
Default value: false
Instead of finding the tag that predates the commit, find the tag that comes after the commit, and thus contains it. Automatically implies --tags.
Type: Integer
Default value: 7
Instead of using the default 7 hexadecimal digits as the abbreviated object name, use digits, or as many digits as needed to form a unique object name. An of 0 will suppress long format, only showing the closest tag.
Type: Integer
Default value: 10
Instead of considering only the 10 most recent tags as candidates to describe the input commit-ish consider up to candidates. Increasing above 10 will take slightly longer but may produce a more accurate result. An of 0 will cause only exact matches to be output.

Type: Function
Default value: none
A callback function to call with the result.
grunt.initConfig({
gitdescribe: {
latest: {
options: {
abbrev: 0,
callback: function (result) { ... },
}
}
},
});For full details on all the possible codes, please see the git describe documentation.
