GitRepository.Clone() can download a remote repository to the local file system, same as the git clone command.

GitRepository.Clone("https://github.com/twenzel/HansPeterGit.git", @"D:\TestSample");

Create a local repository

The GitRepository.Init() method can create a new Git repository in the specified path, equivalent to the git init command.

var repos = new GitRepository(@"D:\TestSample");
repos.Init();

Get status

Using the GetStatus() method to retrieve the repositories current status.

var repos = new GitRepository(@"D:\TestSample");
var status = repos.GetStatus();

Console.WriteLine($"Current branch: {status.Branch}");
Console.WriteLine($"Current commit: {status.Commit}");

if (status.IsDirty)
{
    var newfile = status.Added.First();
}

var fileInfo = status["src/newFile.json"];

Staging/Restore

To stage the current work tree use any of the Stage/Add/Restore methods.

repos.StageAll();

// Stage file
repos.Add("src/newFile.json");

// Discard changes in working directory
repos.Restore("src/newFile.json");

// Unstage file
repos.Unstage("src/newFile.json");

Commit changes

The Commit() method can be used to commit the current changes.

var commit = repos.Commit("Fix calculation bug");

// with dedicated author
repos.Commit("Fix calculation bug", new Author("Some name", "bugfixer@test.com"));

To push changes from the local repository please use the Push() methods.

repos.Push();

// with dedicated remove name
repos.Push("origin", "main");
