gitstat - stream git status

The gitstat Node module streams paths of changed files tracked by a local Git repository.

Usage

Read orginal output of the underlying git status -uno -z file by file:

var gitstat = require('gitstat'), status
 
status = gitstat('.')
status.on('readable', function () {
  var chunk
  while ((chunk = status.read()) !== null) {
    console.log('%s', chunk)
  }
})

Pipe filenames of added and/or modified files:

var gitstat = require('gitstat')
 
gitstat('.', 'AM')
  .pipe(process.stdout)

Types

repo()

A path to a local git repository.

mode()

Optionally configure which filenames should be emitted by passing Git statuses ("M|A|D|R|C|U") as String of undefined length. For example:

gitstat('.', 'AM')

This would return a readable stream that emits filenames of all added and/or modified files.

With the default mode (undefined), not filenames, but the original output of git status -uno -z is emitted file by file. For details please refer to man git-status.

Exports

gitstat(repo(), [mode()])

This function returns a Readable stream. On the first read this stream executes git status -uno -z and begins emitting paths according to mode. Untracked files are ignored.
