mc_git / Interaction with Git repositories¶

The difference or to be more precise, the only addition of using git.latest is that we do a merge –ff-only when pulling in case of errors to be a bit more fairful on updates

https://github.com/saltstack/salt.git:
  mc_git.latest:
    - rev: develop
    - target: /tmp/salt

mc_states.states.mc_git.latest(*args, **kwargs)¶: Compat wrapper

mc_states.states.mc_git.old_latest(name, rev=None, target=None, runas=None, user=None, force=None, force_checkout=False, submodules=False, mirror=False, bare=False, remote_name='origin', always_fetch=False, identity=None, onlyif=False, unless=False, firstrun=True)¶

Make sure the repository is cloned to the given directory and is up to date Thin wrapper to git.latest that also makes a git merge –only-ff to merge unharmful commits without failling hard

name: Address of the remote repository as passed to “git clone”
rev: The remote branch, tag, or revision ID to checkout after clone / before update
target: Name of the target directory where repository is about to be cloned
runas: Name of the user performing repository management operations

Deprecated since version 0.17.0.
user: Name of the user performing repository management operations

New in version 0.17.0.
force: Force git to clone into pre-existing directories (deletes contents)
force_checkout: Force a checkout even if there might be overwritten changes (Default: False)
submodules: Update submodules on clone or branch change (Default: False)
mirror: True if the repository is to be a mirror of the remote repository. This implies bare, and thus is incompatible with rev.
bare: True if the repository is to be a bare clone of the remote repository. This is incompatible with rev, as nothing will be checked out.
remote_name: defines a different remote name. For the first clone the given name is set to the default remote, else it is just a additional remote. (Default: ‘origin’)
always_fetch: If a tag or branch name is used as the rev a fetch will not occur until the tag or branch name changes. Setting this to true will force a fetch to occur. Only applies when rev is set. (Default: False)
identity: A path to a private key to use over SSH
onlyif: A command to run as a check, run the named command only if the command passed to the onlyif option returns true
unless: A command to run as a check, only run the named command if the command passed to the unless option returns false
