    • Method Detail

      • getRefsMap

        Map<String,​Ref> getRefsMap()
        Get the complete map of refs advertised as available for fetching or pushing.
        Returns:
        available/advertised refs: map of refname to ref. Never null. Not modifiable. The collection can be empty if the remote side has no refs (it is an empty/newly created repository).

      • getRefs

        Collection<Ref> getRefs()
        Get the complete list of refs advertised as available for fetching or pushing.

        The returned refs may appear in any order. If the caller needs these to be sorted, they should be copied into a new array or List and then sorted by the caller as necessary.

        Returns:
        available/advertised refs. Never null. Not modifiable. The collection can be empty if the remote side has no refs (it is an empty/newly created repository).

      • getRef

        Ref getRef​(String name)
        Get a single advertised ref by name.

        The name supplied should be valid ref name. To get a peeled value for a ref (aka refs/tags/v1.0^{}) use the base name (without the ^{} suffix) and look at the peeled object id.

        Parameters:
        name - name of the ref to obtain.
        Returns:
        the requested ref; null if the remote did not advertise this ref.

      • close

        void close()

        Close any resources used by this connection.

        If the remote repository is contacted by a network socket this method must close that network socket, disconnecting the two peers. If the remote repository is actually local (same system) this method must close any open file handles used to read the "remote" repository.

        If additional messages were produced by the remote peer, these should still be retained in the connection instance for getMessages().

        AutoClosable.close() declares that it throws Exception. Implementers shouldn't throw checked exceptions. This override narrows the signature to prevent them from doing so.

        Specified by:
        close in interface AutoCloseable

      • getMessages

        String getMessages()
        Get the additional messages, if any, returned by the remote process.

        These messages are most likely informational or error messages, sent by the remote peer, to help the end-user correct any problems that may have prevented the operation from completing successfully. Application UIs should try to show these in an appropriate context.

        The message buffer is available after close() has been called. Prior to closing the connection, the message buffer may be empty.

        Returns:
        the messages returned by the remote, most likely terminated by a newline (LF) character. The empty string is returned if the remote produced no additional messages.

      • getPeerUserAgent

        String getPeerUserAgent()
        User agent advertised by the remote server.
        Returns:
        agent (version of Git) running on the remote server. Null if the server does not advertise this version.
        Since:
        4.0
