The "--format=..." option "git for-each-ref" takes learned to show the name of the 'remote' repository and the ref at the remote side that is affected for 'upstream' and 'push' via "%(push:remotename)" and friends. * js/for-each-ref-remote-name-and-ref: for-each-ref: test :remotename and :remoteref for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref name for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote name
2017-11-08for-each-ref: let upstream/push report the remote ref nameJ Wyman
There are times when scripts want to know not only the name of the push branch on the remote, but also the name of the branch as known by the remote repository. An example of this is when a tool wants to push to the very same branch from which it would pull automatically, i.e. the `<remote>` and the `<to>` in `git push <remote> <from>:<to>` would be provided by `%(upstream:remotename)` and `%(upstream:remoteref)`, respectively. This patch offers the new suffix :remoteref for the `upstream` and `push` atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example: $ cat .git/config ... [remote "origin"] url = https://where.do.we.come/from fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [branch "develop/with/topics"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/develop/with/topics ... $ git for-each-ref \ --format='%(push) %(push:remoteref)' \ refs/heads refs/remotes/origin/master refs/heads/master refs/remotes/origin/develop/with/topics refs/heads/develop/with/topics Signed-off-by: J Wyman <jwyman@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2017-10-10for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote nameJohannes Schindelin
There are times when e.g. scripts want to know not only the name of the upstream branch on the remote repository, but also the name of the remote. This patch offers the new suffix :remotename for the upstream and for the push atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example: $ cat .git/config ... [remote "origin"] url = https://where.do.we.come/from fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* [remote "hello-world"] url = https://hello.world/git fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/* pushURL = hello.world:git push = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* [branch "master"] remote = origin pushRemote = hello-world ... $ git for-each-ref \ --format='%(upstream) %(upstream:remotename) %(push:remotename)' \ refs/heads/master refs/remotes/origin/master origin hello-world The implementation chooses *not* to DWIM the push remote if no explicit push remote was configured; The reason is that it is possible to DWIM this by using %(if)%(push:remotename)%(then) %(push:remotename) %(else) %(upstream:remotename) %(end) while it would be impossible to "un-DWIM" the information in case the caller is really only interested in explicit push remotes. While `:remote` would be shorter, it would also be a bit more ambiguous, and it would also shut the door e.g. for `:remoteref` (which would obviously refer to the corresponding ref in the remote repository). Note: the dashless, non-CamelCased form `:remotename` follows the example of the `:trackshort` example.

2017-10-04provide --color option for all ref-filter usersJeff King
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd (ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors, 2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so with --color/--no-color. But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the "color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands the usual color command-line options. This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always" changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

2017-08-18Documentation/git-for-each-ref: clarify peeling of tags for --formatMichael J Gruber
`*` in format strings means peeling of tag objects so that object field names refer to the object that the tag object points at, instead of the tag object itself. Currently, this is documented using grammar that is clearly inspired by classical latin, though missing more than an article in order to be classical english.

2017-08-18Documentation: use proper wording for ref format stringsMichael J Gruber
Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode). Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object. This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa, so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not. Change the wording to make this clearer (and distinguish it from formats for the log family).

2017-07-13docs/for-each-ref: update pointer to color syntaxJeff King
The documentation for the %(color) placeholder refers to the color.branch.* config for more details. But those details moved to their own section in b92c1a28f (Documentation/config.txt: describe 'color' value type in the "Values" section, 2015-03-03). Let's update our pointer. We can steal the text from 30cfe72d3 (pretty: fix document link for color specification, 2016-10-11), which fixed the same problem in a different place. While we're at it, let's give an example, which makes the syntax much more clear than just the text. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-03-24ref-filter: add --no-contains option to tag/branch/for-each-refÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands to have a --no-contains option in addition to their longstanding --contains options. This allows for finding the last-good rollout tag given a known-bad <commit>. Given a hypothetically bad commit cf5c7253e0, the git version to revert to can be found with this hacky two-liner: (git tag -l 'v[0-9]*'; git tag -l --contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*') | sort | uniq -c | grep -E '^ *1 ' | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 10 With this new --no-contains option the same can be achieved with: git tag -l --no-contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*' | sort | tail -n 10 As the filtering machinery is shared between the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands, implement this for those commands too. A practical use for this with "branch" is e.g. finding branches which were branched off between v2.8.0 and v2.10.0: git branch --contains v2.8.0 --no-contains v2.10.0 The "describe" command also has a --contains option, but its semantics are unrelated to what tag/branch/for-each-ref use --contains for. A --no-contains option for "describe" wouldn't make any sense, other than being exactly equivalent to not supplying --contains at all, which would be confusing at best. Add a --without option to "tag" as an alias for --no-contains, for consistency with --with and --contains. The --with option is undocumented, and possibly the only user of it is Junio (<xmqqefy71iej.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>). But it's trivial to support, so let's do that. The additions to the the test suite are inverse copies of the corresponding --contains tests. With this change --no-contains for tag, branch & for-each-ref is just as well tested as the existing --contains option. In addition to those tests, add a test for "tag" which asserts that --no-contains won't find tree/blob tags, which is slightly unintuitive, but consistent with how --contains works & is documented.

Subsequent changes of mine add a --no-contains option in addition to the existing --contains. Providing both of those isn't an error, and has actual meaning. Making its cousins have different behavior in this regard would be confusing to the user, especially since we'd be silently disregarding some of their command-line input.

2017-02-07ref-filter: resurrect "strip" as a synonym to "lstrip"Junio C Hamano
We forgot that "strip" was introduced at 0571979bd6 ("tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"", 2016-01-25) as part of Git 2.8 (and 2.7.1) when we started calling this "lstrip" to make it easier to explain the new "rstrip" operation. We shouldn't have renamed the existing one; "lstrip" should have been a new synonym that means the same thing as "strip". Scripts in the wild are surely using the original form already.

2017-01-31ref-filter: add an 'rstrip=<N>' option to atoms which deal with refnamesKarthik Nayak
Complimenting the existing 'lstrip=<N>' option, add an 'rstrip=<N>' option which strips `<N>` slash-separated path components from the end of the refname (e.g., `%(refname:rstrip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into `refs`).

Currently the 'lstrip=<N>' option only takes a positive value '<N>' and strips '<N>' slash-separated path components from the left. Modify the 'lstrip' option to also take a negative number '<N>' which would strip from the left as necessary and _leave_ behind only 'N' slash-separated path components from the right-most end. For e.g. %(refname:lstrip=-1) would make 'foo/goo/abc' into 'abc'. Add documentation and tests for the same.

2017-01-10ref-filter: Do not abruptly die when using the 'lstrip=<N>' optionKarthik Nayak
Currently when we use the 'lstrip=<N>' option, if 'N' is greater than the number of components available in the refname, we abruptly end program execution by calling die(). This behavior is undesired since a single refname with few components could end program execution. To avoid this, return an empty string whenever the value 'N' is greater than the number of components available, instead of calling die().

2016-12-05tag, branch, for-each-ref: add --ignore-case for sorting and filteringNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together. Sorting externally may not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from git-branch and git-tag. The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're desperate. You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control. But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need for it.

2016-02-01Merge branch 'jk/list-tag-2.7-regression'Junio C Hamano
"git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0. * jk/list-tag-2.7-regression: tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo" t6300: use test_atom for some un-modern tests
2016-01-26tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"Jeff King
Since b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-07-11), git-tag has started showing tags with ambiguous names (i.e., when both "heads/foo" and "tags/foo" exists) as "tags/foo" instead of just "foo". This is both: - pointless; the output of "git tag" includes only refs/tags, so we know that "foo" means the one in "refs/tags". and - ambiguous; in the original output, we know that the line "foo" means that "refs/tags/foo" exists. In the new output, it is unclear whether we mean "refs/tags/foo" or "refs/tags/tags/foo". The reason this happens is that commit b7cc53e9 switched git-tag to use ref-filter's "%(refname:short)" output formatting, which was adapted from for-each-ref. This more general code does not know that we care only about tags, and uses shorten_unambiguous_ref to get the short-name. We need to tell it that we care only about "refs/tags/", and it should shorten with respect to that value. In theory, the ref-filter code could figure this out by us passing FILTER_REFS_TAGS. But there are two complications there: 1. The handling of refname:short is deep in formatting code that does not even have our ref_filter struct, let alone the arguments to the filter_ref struct. 2. In git v2.7.0, we expose the formatting language to the user. If we follow this path, it will mean that "%(refname:short)" behaves differently for "tag" versus "for-each-ref" (including "for-each-ref refs/tags/"), which can lead to confusion. Instead, let's add a new modifier to the formatting language, "strip", to remove a specific set of prefix components. This fixes "git tag", and lets users invoke the same behavior from their own custom formats (for "tag" or "for-each-ref") while leaving ":short" with its same consistent meaning in all places. We introduce a test in t7004 for "git tag", which fails without this patch. We also add a similar test in t3203 for "git branch", which does not actually fail. But since it is likely that "branch" will eventually use the same formatting code, the test helps defend against future regressions.

2015-10-05Merge branch 'kn/for-each-tag'Junio C Hamano
The "ref-filter" code was taught about many parts of what "tag -l" does and then "tag -l" is being reimplemented in terms of "ref-filter". * kn/for-each-tag: tag.c: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options tag.c: implement '--format' option tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs tag.c: use 'ref-filter' data structures ref-filter: add option to match literal pattern ref-filter: add support to sort by version ref-filter: add support for %(contents:lines=X) ref-filter: add option to filter out tags, branches and remotes ref-filter: implement an `align` atom ref-filter: introduce match_atom_name() ref-filter: introduce handler function for each atom utf8: add function to align a string into given strbuf ref-filter: introduce ref_formatting_state and ref_formatting_stack ref-filter: move `struct atom_value` to ref-filter.c strtoul_ui: reject negative values
2015-10-05Merge branch 'jk/date-local'Junio C Hamano
"git log --date=local" used to only show the normal (default) format in the local timezone. The command learned to take 'local' as an instruction to use the local timezone with other formats, e.g. "git show --date=rfc-local". * jk/date-local: t6300: add tests for "-local" date formats t6300: make UTC and local dates different date: make "local" orthogonal to date format date: check for "local" before anything else t6300: add test for "raw" date format t6300: introduce test_date() helper fast-import: switch crash-report date to iso8601 Documentation/rev-list: don't list date formats Documentation/git-for-each-ref: don't list date formats Documentation/config: don't list date formats Documentation/blame-options: don't list date formats
2015-09-17ref-filter: add support to sort by versionKarthik Nayak
Add support to sort by version using the "v:refname" and "version:refname" option. This is achieved by using the 'versioncmp()' function as the comparing function for qsort. This option is included to support sorting by versions in `git tag -l` which will eventually be ported to use ref-filter APIs. Add documentation and tests for the same.

2015-09-17ref-filter: add support for %(contents:lines=X)Karthik Nayak
In 'tag.c' we can print N lines from the annotation of the tag using the '-n<num>' option. Copy code from 'tag.c' to 'ref-filter' and modify it to support appending of N lines from the annotation of tags to the given strbuf. Implement %(contents:lines=X) where X lines of the given object are obtained. While we're at it, remove unused "contents:<suboption>" atoms from the `valid_atom` array. Add documentation and test for the same.

2015-09-17ref-filter: implement an `align` atomKarthik Nayak
Implement an `align` atom which left-, middle-, or right-aligns the content between %(align:...) and %(end). The "align:" is followed by `<width>` and `<position>` in any order separated by a comma, where the `<position>` is either left, right or middle, default being left and `<width>` is the total length of the content with alignment. If the contents length is more than the width then no alignment is performed. e.g. to align a refname atom to the middle with a total width of 40 we can do: --format="%(align:middle,40)%(refname)%(end)". We introduce an `at_end` function for each element of the stack which is to be called when the `end` atom is encountered. Using this we implement end_align_handler() for the `align` atom, this aligns the final strbuf by calling `strbuf_utf8_align()` from utf8.c. Ensure that quote formatting is performed on the whole of %(align:...)...%(end) rather than individual atoms inside. We skip quote formatting for individual atoms when the current stack element is handling an %(align:...) atom and perform quote formatting at the end when we encounter the %(end) atom of the second element of then stack. Add documentation and tests for the same.

2015-09-03Documentation/git-for-each-ref: don't list date formatsJohn Keeping
We are about to add a new set of supported date formats and do not want to have to maintain the same list in several different bits of documentation. Refer to git-rev-list(1) which contains the full list of supported formats. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-08-03for-each-ref: add '--contains' optionKarthik Nayak
Add the '--contains' option provided by 'ref-filter'. The '--contains' option lists only refs which contain the mentioned commit (HEAD if no commit is explicitly given). Add documentation and tests for the same.
