NodeGit does not seem to be providing any API to retrieve Git configuration values.
See http://www.nodegit.org/#Config
I was expecting something like Config#getValue() or similar API to retrieve configuration values.
Perhaps, it is missing in NodeGit as of now, since libgit2 has those APIs.
Any hints?
NodeGit currently doesn't expose the config functionality of libgit2. That shouldn't be too hard to get in there but I don't know if it'll make into the 0.3.0 release that is scheduled for the next release.
I created an issue that you can track if you want updates on the progress of it.
Here's an example to get a global git config variable:
var nodegit = require("nodegit");
nodegit.Config.openDefault()
.then(function (config) {
return config.getStringBuf('user.name');
})
.then(console.log);
and here's how to get a repository's config variable:
nodegit.Repository.open('PATH_TO_REPO')
.then(function (repository) {
return repository.config();
})
.then(function (config) {
return config.getStringBuf('user.name');
})
.then(console.log);
