Git::Raw::Reference - Git reference class
version 0.33
A Git::Raw::Reference represents a Git reference.
Git::Raw::Reference
WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).
Retrieve the reference with name $name in $repo.
$name
$repo
Creates and returns a new direct reference named $name in $repo pointing to $object. $object can be a Git::Raw::Blob, Git::Raw::Commit, or a Git::Raw::Tree object. If $force is a truthy value, any existing reference is overwritten. If $force is falsy (the default) and a reference named $name already exists, an error is thrown.
$object
$force
Delete the reference. The Git::Raw::Reference object must not be accessed afterwards.
Retrieve the name of the reference.
Retrieve the type of the reference. Can be either "direct" or "symbolic".
"direct"
"symbolic"
Retrieve the target of the reference. If the $new_target parameter of type Git::Raw::Reference is passed, the reference will be changed to point to it.
$new_target
Note that updating the target will invalidate all existing handles to the reference.
This function returns either an object (Git::Raw::Blob, Git::Raw::Commit, Git::Raw::Tag or Git::Raw::Tree) for direct references, or another reference for symbolic references.
Retrieve the Git::Raw::Reflog of the reference. Shortcur for Git::Raw::Reflog->open().
Git::Raw::Reflog->open()
Retrieve the Git::Raw::Repository owning the reference.
Check if the reference is a branch.
Check if the reference is remote.
