As I'm trying to automate some of our git processes, I need to perform 'git fetch' programatically. However the 0.2.3 example does not actually do a fetch..
nodegit.Repository
// Open the specified directory
.open(directory).then(function (repo) {
_repository = repo;
return nodegit.Remote.load(repo, "origin");
//return repo.getRemote('origin');
})
// Fetch remote
.then(function (remote) {
remote.connect(0);
return remote.download();
//return remote.fetch(signature);
})
// Retrieve all references
.then(function () {
return _repository.getReferenceNames(nodegit.Reference.TYPE.ALL);
})After this there is a bunch of .then constructions to sort out which branches have been updated, etc... however I notice that nothing is changed/updated after running this fetch sequence. After performing a commandline 'git fetch' things have changed.
I have also tried to npm install the latest checkout from nodegit/master and use the updated example which uses the 'remote shortcut'.
var nodegit = require('../');
var path = require('path');
nodegit.Repository.open(path.resolve(__dirname, '../.git')).then(function(repo) {
return repo.fetch("origin");
})
.done(function() {
console.log("It worked!");
});But also this does not actually do a fetch (as in, no refs or files are updated).
I hope I am missing something, either that or this is a bug.
