Git Operations

The Daytona SDK provides built-in Git support through the git module in Workspaces. 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 Workspaces. You can interact with Git repositories using the git module.

Cloning Repositories

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

Python
TypeScript

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

# Clone with authentication

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

# Clone specific branch

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

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

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

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

// Get repository status
const status = await workspace.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 workspace.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
workspace.git.create_branch("/workspace/repo", "feature/new-feature")

# Switch branch

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

# Delete branch

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

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

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

// Delete branch
await workspace.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
workspace.git.add("/workspace/repo", ["file1.txt", "file2.txt"])

# Stage all changes

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

# Commit changes

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

# Get commit history

commits = workspace.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 workspace.git.add("/workspace/repo", ["file1.txt", "file2.txt"]);

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

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

// Get commit history
const commits = await workspace.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
workspace.git.push("/workspace/repo")

# Pull changes

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

# List remotes

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

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

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

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

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