Method: Rugged::Repository.new

Defined in:

ext/rugged/rugged_repo.c

.new(path, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Open a Git repository in the given path and return a Repository object representing it. An exception will be thrown if path doesn’t point to a valid repository. If you need to create a repository from scratch, use Rugged::Repository.init_at instead.

The path must point to either the actual folder (.git) of a Git repository, or to the directorly that contains the .git folder.

See also Rugged::Repository.discover and Rugged::Repository.bare.

The following options can be passed in the options Hash:

:alternates

A list of alternate object folders.

Examples:

Rugged::Repository.new('test/.git') #=> #<Rugged::Repository:0x108849488>
Rugged::Repository.new(path, :alternates => ['./other/repo/.git/objects'])
