So this might be due to my ignorance of what git does under the hood, but I'm trying to clone a repo using git2go like you would with running git clone <repo url>
in bash. I can clone the repo to get the content of the usual .git/ folder repos have. Then I am trying to get the actual project files from there. To do this I get the index of the repo returned from the clone, then I write a tree with that index. Then I get lost, but here's what I'm currently doing:
type Project struct {
conf config.Project
State string
ABSPath string
Services map[string]*Service
creds *credentials.RawCredentials
gitCreds *git.Cred
clonePath string
CloneOpts *git.CloneOptions
}
func (p *Project) Unpack(repo *git.Repository) error {
index, indexErr := repo.Index()
if indexErr != nil {
return indexErr
}
log.Println(*index)
oid, writeErr := index.WriteTree()
if writeErr != nil {
return writeErr
}
blob, blobErr := repo.LookupBlob(oid)
if blobErr != nil {
return blobErr
}
content := blob.Contents()
log.Println((string)(content))
return nil
}
Currently, content is empty. My goal here is to unpack the entire repo. I believe I need to walk through the working tree in order to do that. Am I headed in the right direction?
