git-repo-info

Retrieve current sha and branch name from a git repo.

git-repo-info

Retrieves repo information without relying on the git command.

Usage

var getRepoInfo = require('git-repo-info');
 
var info = getRepoInfo();
 
info.branch         //=> will be the current branch 
info.sha            //=> will be the current sha 
info.abbreviatedSha //=> will be the first 10 chars of the current sha 
info.tag            //=> will be the tag for the current sha (or `null` if no tag exists)

When called without any arguments, git-repo-info will automatically lookup upwards into parent directories to find the first match with a .git folder.

If passed an argument, it will be assumed to be the path to the repo's .git folder to inspect.
