lambda-git

A git binary installed through PyPI for AWS Lambda - inspired by the JavaScript package lambda-git.

Installation

$ pip install lambda-git

Usage

To use this, just require it and call exec_command. E.g:

import git

git.exec_command('init') # will run 'git init'

Executing commands in a specific path:

AWS Lambda give you only /tmp as working directory. This package by default will execute all commands in /tmp, but it can be overridden by passing cwd.

import git

new_repo_path = '/tmp/my-new-repo'
os.mkdir(new_repo_path)
git.exec_command('init', cwd=new_repo_path)

Executing commands with separate environment:

By default every git command will be executed with the system environment, but it can be overridden by setting env.

import git

commit_env = os.environ
commit_env['GIT_AUTHOR_NAME'] = 'My Name'
commit_env['GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL'] = '[email protected]'
commit_env['GIT_COMMITTER_NAME'] = 'My Name'
commit_env['GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL'] = '[email protected]'

new_repo_path = '/tmp/my-new-repo'

git.exec_command('add', '.', cwd=new_repo_path)
git.exec_command('commit', '-m "first commit"', cwd=new_repo_path, env=commit_env)

Testing

$ python -m nose
