Porcelain¶
The ``porcelain’’ is the higher level interface, built on top of the lower level implementation covered in previous chapters of this tutorial. The ``dulwich.porcelain’’ module in Dulwich is aimed to closely resemble the Git command-line API that you are familiar with.
Basic concepts¶
The porcelain operations are implemented as top-level functions in the
dulwich.porcelain'' module. Most arguments can either be strings or
more complex Dulwich objects; e.g. a repository argument will either take
a string with a path to the repository or an instance of a ``Repo
object.
Initializing a new repository¶
>>> from dulwich import porcelain
>>> repo = porcelain.init("myrepo")
Clone a repository¶
>>> porcelain.clone("git://github.com/jelmer/dulwich", "dulwich-clone")
Commit changes¶
>>> r = porcelain.init("testrepo")
>>> open("testrepo/testfile", "w").write("data")
>>> porcelain.add(r, "testrepo/testfile")
>>> porcelain.commit(r, "A sample commit")
