PHP Wrapper around GIT
Git Wrapper provides a readable API that abstracts challenges of executing Git commands from within a PHP process for you.
- It's built upon the
Symfony\Process
to execute the Git command with cross-platform support and uses the best-in-breed techniques available to PHP. - This library also provides an SSH wrapper script and API method for developers to easily specify a private key other than default by using the technique from StackOverflow.
- Finally, various commands are expected to be executed in the directory containing the working copy. The library handles this transparently so the developer doesn't have to think about it.
Install
Usage
All command methods adhere to the following paradigm:
Replace command
with the Git command being executed, e.g. checkout
, push
,
etc. The $arg*
parameters are a variable number of arguments as they would be
passed to the Git command line tool. $options
is an optional array of command
line options in the following format:
Logging
Use the logger listener with PSR-3 compatible loggers such as Monolog to log commands that are executed.
Gotchas
There are a few "gotchas" that are out of scope for this library to solve but might prevent a successful implementation of running Git via PHP.
Missing HOME Environment Variable
Sometimes the HOME
environment variable is not set in the Git process that is spawned by PHP. This will cause many Git operations to fail. It is advisable to set the HOME
environment variable to a path outside of the document root that the web server has write access to. Note that this environment variable is only set for the process running Git and NOT the PHP process that is spawns it.
It is important that the storage is persistent as the ~/.gitconfig
file will be written to this location. See the following "gotcha" for why this is important.
Missing Identity And Configurations
Many repositories require that a name and email address are specified. This data is set by running git config [name] [value]
on the command line, and the configurations are usually stored in the ~/.gitconfig file
. When executing Git via PHP, however, the process might have a different home directory than the user who normally runs git via the command line. Therefore no identity is sent to the repository, and it will likely throw an error.
Commits To Repositories With No Changes
Running git commit
on a repository with no changes fails with exception. To prevent that, check changes like:
Permissions Of The GIT_SSH Wrapper Script
On checkout, the bin/git-ssh-wrapper.sh script should be executable. If it is not, git commands will fail if a non-default private key is specified.
Timeout
There is a default timeout of 60 seconds. This might cause "issues" when you use the clone feature of bigger projects or with slow internet.
