Class CommitBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.eclipse.jgit.lib.CommitBuilder

public class CommitBuilder
extends Object

Mutable builder to construct a commit recording the state of a project. Applications should use this object when they need to manually construct a commit and want precise control over its fields. For a higher level interface see CommitCommand. To read a commit object, construct a RevWalk and obtain a RevCommit instance by calling RevWalk.parseCommit(AnyObjectId).

public CommitBuilder()

Initialize an empty commit.

Method Detail

getTreeId

public ObjectId getTreeId()

Returns:

id of the root tree listing this commit's snapshot.

setTreeId

public void setTreeId(AnyObjectId id)

Set the tree id for this commit object

Parameters:

id - the tree identity.

getAuthor

public PersonIdent getAuthor()

Returns:

the author of this commit (who wrote it).

setAuthor

public void setAuthor(PersonIdent newAuthor)

Set the author (name, email address, and date) of who wrote the commit.

Parameters:

newAuthor - the new author. Should not be null.

getCommitter

public PersonIdent getCommitter()

Returns:

the committer and commit time for this object.

setCommitter

public void setCommitter(PersonIdent newCommitter)

Set the committer and commit time for this object

the ancestors of this commit. Never null.

setParentId

Parameters:

newParent - the single parent for the commit.

setParentIds

public void setParentIds(AnyObjectId parent1,
                AnyObjectId parent2)

Parameters:

parent1 - the first parent of this commit. Typically this is the current value of the HEAD reference and is thus the current branch's position in history.

parent2 - the second parent of this merge commit. Usually this is the branch being merged into the current branch.

setParentIds

public void setParentIds(ObjectId... newParents)

Set the parents of this commit.

Parameters:

newParents - the entire list of parents for this commit.

setParentIds

Set the parents of this commit.

Parameters:

newParents - the entire list of parents for this commit.

addParentId

public void addParentId(AnyObjectId additionalParent)

Add a parent onto the end of the parent list.

Parameters:

additionalParent - new parent to add onto the end of the current parent list.
