# `libvcs` &middot; [![Python Package](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/libvcs.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/libvcs/) [![License](https://img.shields.io/github/license/vcs-python/libvcs.svg)](https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs/blob/master/LICENSE) [![Code Coverage](https://codecov.io/gh/vcs-python/libvcs/branch/master/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/vcs-python/libvcs)

libvcs is a lite, [typed](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html), pythonic tool box for
detection and parsing of URLs, commanding, and syncing with `git`, `hg`, and `svn`. Powers
[vcspull](https://www.github.com/vcs-python/vcspull/).

## Overview

### Key Features

- **URL Detection and Parsing**: Validate and parse Git, Mercurial, and Subversion URLs.
- **Command Abstraction**: Interact with VCS systems through a Python API.
- **Repository Synchronization**: Clone and update repositories locally via
  Python API.
- **py.test fixtures**: Create temporary local repositories and working copies for testing for unit tests.

_Supports Python 3.9 and above, Git (including AWS CodeCommit), Subversion, and Mercurial._

To **get started**, see the [quickstart guide](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/quickstart.html) for more information.

```console
$ pip install --user libvcs
```

## URL Detection and Parsing

Easily validate and parse VCS URLs using the
[`libvcs.url`](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/url/index.html) module:

### Validate URLs

```python
>>> from libvcs.url.git import GitURL

>>> GitURL.is_valid(url='https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs.git')
True
```

### Parse and adjust Git URLs:

```python
>>> from libvcs.url.git import GitURL

>>> git_location = GitURL(url='git@github.com:vcs-python/libvcs.git')

>>> git_location
GitURL(url=git@github.com:vcs-python/libvcs.git,
        user=git,
        hostname=github.com,
        path=vcs-python/libvcs,
        suffix=.git,
        rule=core-git-scp)
```

Switch repo libvcs -> vcspull:

```python
>>> from libvcs.url.git import GitURL

>>> git_location = GitURL(url='git@github.com:vcs-python/libvcs.git')

>>> git_location.path = 'vcs-python/vcspull'

>>> git_location.to_url()
'git@github.com:vcs-python/vcspull.git'

# Switch them to gitlab:
>>> git_location.hostname = 'gitlab.com'

# Export to a `git clone` compatible URL.
>>> git_location.to_url()
'git@gitlab.com:vcs-python/vcspull.git'
```

See more in the [parser document](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/parse/index.html).

## Command Abstraction

Abstracts CLI commands for `git(1)`, `hg(1)`, `svn(1)` via a lightweight [`subprocess`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html) wrapper.

### Run Git Commands

```python
import pathlib
from libvcs.cmd.git import Git

git = Git(path=pathlib.Path.cwd() / 'my_git_repo')
git.clone(url='https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs.git')
```

Above: [`libvcs.cmd.git.Git`](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/cmd/git.html#libvcs.cmd.git.Git) using
[`Git.clone()`](http://libvcs.git-pull.com/cmd/git.html#libvcs.cmd.git.Git.clone).

## Repository Synchronization

Synchronize your repositories using the
[`libvcs.sync`](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/sync/) module.

### Clone and Update Repositories

```python
import pathlib
from libvcs.sync.git import GitSync

repo = GitSync(
   url="https://github.com/vcs-python/libvcs",
   path=pathlib.Path().cwd() / "my_repo",
   remotes={
       'gitlab': 'https://gitlab.com/vcs-python/libvcs'
   }
)

# Update / clone repo:
>>> repo.update_repo()

# Get revision:
>>> repo.get_revision()
u'5c227e6ab4aab44bf097da2e088b0ff947370ab8'
```

Above: [`libvcs.sync.git.GitSync`](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/projects/git.html#libvcs.sync.git.GitSync) repository
object using
[`GitSync.update_repo()`](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/sync/git.html#libvcs.sync.git.GitSync.update_repo)
and
[`GitSync.get_revision()`](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/sync/git.html#libvcs.sync.git.GitSync.get_revision).

## Pytest plugin: Temporary VCS repositories for testing

libvcs [pytest plugin](https://libvcs.git-pull.com/pytest-plugin.html) provides [py.test fixtures] to swiftly create local VCS repositories and working repositories to test with. Repositories are automatically cleaned on test teardown.

[py.test fixtures]: https://docs.pytest.org/en/8.2.x/explanation/fixtures.html

### Use temporary, local VCS in py.test

```python
import pathlib

from libvcs.pytest_plugin import CreateRepoPytestFixtureFn
from libvcs.sync.git import GitSync


def test_repo_git_remote_checkout(
    create_git_remote_repo: CreateRepoPytestFixtureFn,
    tmp_path: pathlib.Path,
    projects_path: pathlib.Path,
) -> None:
    git_server = create_git_remote_repo()
    git_repo_checkout_dir = projects_path / "my_git_checkout"
    git_repo = GitSync(path=str(git_repo_checkout_dir), url=f"file://{git_server!s}")

    git_repo.obtain()
    git_repo.update_repo()

    assert git_repo.get_revision() == "initial"

    assert git_repo_checkout_dir.exists()
    assert pathlib.Path(git_repo_checkout_dir / ".git").exists()
```

Under the hood: fixtures bootstrap a temporary `$HOME` environment in a
[`TmpPathFactory`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/reference/reference.html#tmp-path-factory-factory-api)
for automatic cleanup and `pytest-xdist` compatibility..
