Git Operations

The Daytona SDK provides built-in Git support through the git module in Sandboxes. This guide covers all available Git operations and best practices.

Basic Operations

Daytona SDK provides an option to clone, check status, and manage Git repositories in Sandboxes. You can interact with Git repositories using the git module.

Cloning Repositories

Daytona SDK provides an option to clone Git repositories into Sandboxes using Python and TypeScript. You can clone public or private repositories, specific branches, and authenticate using personal access tokens.

Python
TypeScript

# Basic clone
sandbox.git.clone(
    url="https://github.com/user/repo.git",
    path="/workspace/repo"
)

# Clone with authentication

sandbox.git.clone(
    url="<https://github.com/user/repo.git>",
    path="/workspace/repo",
    username="git",
    password="personal_access_token"
)

# Clone specific branch

sandbox.git.clone(
    url="<https://github.com/user/repo.git>",
    path="/workspace/repo",
    branch="develop"
)

// Basic clone
await sandbox.git.clone(
    "https://github.com/user/repo.git",
    "/workspace/repo"
);

// Clone with authentication
await sandbox.git.clone(
    "https://github.com/user/repo.git",
    "/workspace/repo",
    undefined,
    undefined,
    "git",
    "personal_access_token"
);

// Clone specific branch
await sandbox.git.clone(
    "https://github.com/user/repo.git",
    "/workspace/repo",
    "develop"
);

Repository Status

Daytona SDK provides an option to check the status of Git repositories in Sandboxes. You can get the current branch, modified files, number of commits ahead and behind main branch using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# Get repository status
status = sandbox.git.status("/workspace/repo")
print(f"Current branch: {status.current_branch}")
print(f"Commits ahead: {status.ahead}")
print(f"Commits behind: {status.behind}")
for file in status.file_status:
    print(f"File: {file.name}")

# List branches

response = sandbox.git.branches("/workspace/repo")
for branch in response.branches:
    print(f"Branch: {branch}")

// Get repository status
const status = await sandbox.git.status("/workspace/repo");
console.log(`Current branch: ${status.currentBranch}`);
console.log(`Commits ahead: ${status.ahead}`);
console.log(`Commits behind: ${status.behind}`);
status['FileStatus[]'].forEach(file => {
    console.log(`File: ${file.name}`);
});

// List branches
const response = await sandbox.git.branches("/workspace/repo");
response.branches.forEach(branch => {
    console.log(`Branch: ${branch}`);
});

Branch Operations

Daytona SDK provides an option to manage branches in Git repositories. You can create, switch, and delete branches.

Managing Branches

Daytona SDK provides an option to create, switch, and delete branches in Git repositories using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# Create new branch
sandbox.git.create_branch("/workspace/repo", "feature/new-feature")

# Switch branch

sandbox.git.checkout("/workspace/repo", "feature/new-feature")

# Delete branch

sandbox.git.delete_branch("/workspace/repo", "feature/old-feature")

// Create new branch
await sandbox.git.createBranch("/workspace/repo", "feature/new-feature");

// Switch branch
await sandbox.git.checkout("/workspace/repo", "feature/new-feature");

// Delete branch
await sandbox.git.deleteBranch("/workspace/repo", "feature/old-feature");

Staging and Committing

Daytona SDK provides an option to stage and commit changes in Git repositories. You can stage specific files, all changes, and commit with a message using Python and TypeScript.

# Stage specific files
sandbox.git.add("/workspace/repo", ["file1.txt", "file2.txt"])

# Stage all changes

sandbox.git.add("/workspace/repo", ["."])

# Commit changes

sandbox.git.commit("/workspace/repo", "feat: add new feature")

# Get commit history

commits = sandbox.git.log("/workspace/repo")
for commit in commits:
    print(f"Commit: {commit.hash}")
    print(f"Author: {commit.author}")
    print(f"Message: {commit.message}")

// Stage specific files
await sandbox.git.add("/workspace/repo", ["file1.txt", "file2.txt"]);

// Stage all changes
await sandbox.git.add("/workspace/repo", ["."]);

// Commit changes
await sandbox.git.commit("/workspace/repo", "feat: add new feature");

// Get commit history
const commits = await sandbox.git.log("/workspace/repo");
commits.forEach(commit => {
    console.log(`Commit: ${commit.hash}`);
    console.log(`Author: ${commit.author}`);
    console.log(`Message: ${commit.message}`);
});

Remote Operations

Daytona SDK provides an option to work with remote repositories in Git. You can push changes, pull changes, and list remotes.

Working with Remotes

Daytona SDK provides an option to push, pull, and list remotes in Git repositories using Python and TypeScript.

Python
TypeScript

# Push changes
sandbox.git.push("/workspace/repo")

# Pull changes

sandbox.git.pull("/workspace/repo")

# List remotes

remotes = sandbox.git.list_remotes("/workspace/repo")
for remote in remotes:
    print(f"Remote: {remote.name} URL: {remote.url}")

// Push changes
await sandbox.git.push("/workspace/repo");

// Push to specific remote and branch
await sandbox.git.push("/workspace/repo", "origin", "feature/new-feature");

// Pull changes
await sandbox.git.pull("/workspace/repo");

// Pull from specific remote and branch
await sandbox.git.pull("/workspace/repo", "origin", "main");
