Git (JGit - Core 3.7.0.201502260915-r API)

java.lang.Object
- org.eclipse.jgit.api.Git

```
public class Git
extends Object
```
Offers a "GitPorcelain"-like API to interact with a git repository.
The GitPorcelain commands are described in the Git Documentation.
This class only offers methods to construct so-called command classes. Each GitPorcelain command is represented by one command class.
Example: this class offers a commit() method returning an instance of the CommitCommand class. The CommitCommand class has setters for all the arguments and options. The CommitCommand class also has a call method to actually execute the commit. The following code show's how to do a simple commit:
```
 Git git = new Git(myRepo);
 git.commit().setMessage("Fix393").setAuthor(developerIdent).call();
 
```
All mandatory parameters for commands have to be specified in the methods of this class, the optional parameters have to be specified by the setter-methods of the Command class.
This class is intended to be used internally (e.g. by JGit tests) or by external components (EGit, third-party tools) when they need exactly the functionality of a GitPorcelain command. There are use-cases where this class is not optimal and where you should use the more low-level JGit classes. The methods in this class may for example offer too much functionality or they offer the functionality with the wrong arguments.

```
public Git(Repository repo)
```
    Constructs a new Git object which can interact with the specified git repository. All command classes returned by methods of this class will always interact with this git repository.
    
    Parameters:
    repo - the git repository this class is interacting with. null is not allowed
- Method Detail
  - open
```
public static Git open(File dir)
                throws IOException
```
    Parameters:
    dir - the repository to open. May be either the GIT_DIR, or the working tree directory that contains .git.
    
    Returns:
    a Git object for the existing git repository
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - open
```
public static Git open(File dir,
       FS fs)
                throws IOException
```
    Parameters:
    dir - the repository to open. May be either the GIT_DIR, or the working tree directory that contains .git.
    fs - filesystem abstraction to use when accessing the repository.
    
    Returns:
    a Git object for the existing git repository
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException
  - wrap
```
public static Git wrap(Repository repo)
```
    Parameters:
    repo - the git repository this class is interacting with. null is not allowed
    
    Returns:
    a Git object for the existing git repository
  - close
```
public void close()
```
    Frees resources held by the underlying Repository instance. It is recommended to call this method as soon as you don't need a reference to this Git instance and the underlying Repository instance anymore. This method closes the underlying object and ref databases. This will free memory and file handles. E.g. on Windows the repository will keep file handles on pack files unless you call this method. Such open file handles may for example prevent that the repository folder in the filesystem can be deleted.
    After calling close() you should not use this Git instance and the underlying Repository instance anymore.
