Linux: default to system libgit2 on Ubuntu 24 and up.
Add git_config_global_unset() and
git_config_unset() (@iofarm, #273)
Add git_restore() function (#259)
Add git_config_get(),
git_config_local_get(), and
git_config_global_get() to retrieve a single named config
option, returning NULL if unset (#267).
git_clone() without a path argument now
clones into a directory named after the “humanish” part of the URL, so
“git@github.com:francisbarton/myrepo.git” gets cloned into
myrepo (@francisbardon, #192).
git_remote_set_pushurl() gains an add
argument to append push URLs instead of replacing them. (@robitalec, #128)
Fix git_info() for the case when no upstream is
configured (@mpage,
#263)
git_branch_create(): force now also
applies to the checkout step, allowing branch creation even when local
changes would be overwritten (@MichaelChirico, #177).
Improve manual pages (@olivroy, #227)
Fix badge links in README.md (@dpprdan, #189)
Use NEWS.md instead of NEWS (@olivroy, #209)
Add git_revert() function (#206)
new function git_branch_switch(), an alias to
git_branch_checkout() (#254)
Add argument depth in git_clone() (#281,
@etiennebacher).
gert 2.3.1
git_stat_files() gains a ‘max’ parameter
Fix function declaration error
gert 2.3.0
Add git_worktree() family of functions (#252)
Reformat code with air
gert 2.0.2
Workaround for accidental API change in libgit2 1.8.0
Disable a non-api call in R >= 4.5.0 for now
gert 2.0.1
Fix a printf warning for cran
gert 2.0.0
Windows: update to libgit2-1.7.1 + libssh-1.11.0 +
openssl-3.1.2
gert 1.9.3
Add git_commit_stats() function
Add git_ignore_path_is_ignored() function
Fix protect bug in git_submodule_list()
gert 1.9.2
Replace sprintf with snprintf for CRAN
gert 1.9.1
Fix the Wstrict-prototype warnings
Use special static libgit2 bundle for openssl-3 distros.
gert 1.9.0
Add support for the new ED25519 keys when authenticating over
SSH
gert 1.8.0
The static libgit2 for win/mac/linux are all 1.4.2 with a patched
version of libssh 1.10.1. This should fix problems with the latest
release versions of libgit2 and libssh2.
The patched libssh2 builds should now support RSA-SHA2, which
re-enables authentication with GitHub using an RSA key.
On production Linux systems (x64 RHEL/Ubuntu) default to building
using the static libgit2 because of above reasons. Set
USE_SYSTEM_LIBGIT2=1 to force building against a local
libgit2 on these platforms.
gert 1.7.1
The static libgit2 for linux has been updated to 1.5.0 (this is only
used on linux systems where no sufficient libgit2 is available).
gert 1.7.0
git_status() gains parameter pathspec
git_ls() gains paremeter ‘ref’ and works with bare
repositories
gert 1.6.0
We recommend at least libgit2 1.0 now
Windows: update to libgit2 1.4.2
Tests: switch to ECDSA keys for ssh remote unit tests
git_log() gains a parameter ‘after’
gert 1.5.0
Windows: use \({HOMEDRIVE}\){HOMEPATH} path as home if it
exists, to match git-for-windows. On most systems this is the same as
${USERPROFILE}.
git_commit_info() no longer includes $diff by default
because it can be huge. Please use git_diff() instead if
you need it.
gert 1.4.3
Fix a unit test for some older versions of libgit2
gert 1.4.2
Make unit tests more robust against network fail and renamed
branches
Windows / MacOS: update to libgit2 1.3.0
gert 1.4.1
Fix compile error with some older version of libgit2
MacOS: automatically use static libs when building in CI
gert 1.4.0
Windows / MacOS: update to libgit2 1.2.0
New function git_branch_move()
git_branch_checkout() gains ‘orphan’ parameter
gert 1.3.2
Fix unit test because GitHub has disabled user/pass auth
gert 1.3.1
Windows: fix build for ucrt toolchains
Solaris: disable https cert verfication
gert 1.3.0
Some encoding fixes for latin1 paths, especially non-ascii Windows
usernames.
gert 1.2.0
New git_stat_files() function.
gert 1.1.0
On x86_64 Linux systems where libgit2 is too old or unavailable, we
automatically try to download a precompiled static version of libgit2.
This includes CentOS 7/8 as well as Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04. Therefore
the PPA should no longer be needed. You can opt-out of this by setting
an envvar: USE_SYSTEM_LIBGIT2=1
Add tooling to manually find and set the location of the system SSL
certificates on such static builds, and also for Solaris.
Add several functions to work with submodules.
Globally enable submodule-caching for faster diffing.
Refactor internal code to please rchk analysis tool.
gert 1.0.2
git_branch_list() gains a parameter ‘local’
Windows / MacOS: update to libgit2 1.1.0
Do not use bash in configure
gert 1.0.1
git_branch_list() and git_commit_info()
gain a date field
Bug fixes
gert 1.0
Lots of new functions
Windows and MacOS now ship with libgit2-1.0.0
Do not advertise HTTPS support in startup message because it should
always be supported.
Config setters return previous value invisibly (#37)
Conflicted files are reported by git_status()
(#40)
Windows: libgit2 now finds ~/.gitconfig under $USERPROFILE (instead
of Documents)
A git_signature object is now stored as a string instead of an
externalptr
The ‘name’ parameter in git_remote_ functions has been renamed to
‘remote’
gert 0.3
Support for clone –mirror and push –mirror (#12)
gert 0.2
