GitSignature
​
GitSignature
[]
return an association containing author metadata to be used when creating commits.
​
​
GitSignature
[repo]
returns author metadata as configured for
repo
.
​
​
GitSignature
[repo,ref]
returns author metadata for the commit referenced by
ref
.
​
Details
▪
The association returned by
GitSignature
includes the following fields:
"Name"
name of the author/committer
"Email"
email address of the author/committer
"TimeStamp"
timestamp for the commit, formatted as a
DateObject
▪
GitSignature
returns
$Failed
if it cannot determine a valid signature from the arguments provided.
▪
repo
must be a
GitRepo
or any pathname which, when passed to
GitOpen
would produce a
GitRepo
.
▪
ref
must be a string reference which represents a single commit.
ref
is typically a SHA or the name of a branch or tag.
▪
Functions which produce git commits can use the output of
GitSignature
to customize the signatures of the new commits. Typically, the output would be passed in as the right-hand side of the
"AuthorSignature"
or
"CommitterSignature"
option.
▪
A commit contains two signatures which can be queried. One signature is for the author of the commit, the other is for the committer. By default
GitSignature
[repo,ref]
returns the signature of the author.
▪
GitSignature
[obj]
will return the author signature of a commit object identified by the
GitObject
obj
.
