nodegit VS git-js

In Git Consensus, we accept commits and parse out the address to create a mapping between them. In the unit tests, we can check the basic address parsing logic. But to actually test out the full user interactions of an OSS project onboarding to be a DAO and do token rewards for commits, we need to actually build a Git repo from the ground up - using JavaScript tools like nodegit to do so.

Interesting, I guess this would be how to use it in JS: https://github.com/nodegit/nodegit

nodegit Authentication has become the biggest prolem with this entire process! I have added a comment to Issue 1035 but I don't know if it will get much traction as it seems there have been several issues out there already.

Now we know how to use the API, let's implement it to handle our use cases. To get the git commit date, we're going to use a package called simple-git. We'll add this as a dependency of our Docusaurus project:

I ended up switching to simple-git as nodegit ssh issues had me 2 days behind on trying to get out lesson 8. It provides a very simple interface to effectively accomplish everything I needed. It also allows me to use a personal token to do Git updates to GitHub which I liked a lot better.

simple-git is a JavaScript library which allows you to run git commands from within TypeScript / JavaScript code.

You know, cz-format-extension is very highly expandable. You can use API of Inquirer.js, git-repo-info, and git-js.

In either case of appending a comment to an existing list or committing the first one, the end result of the try catch block will be a new branch checked out with the name of the commentId that was just generated. Be sure to note the difference between checkoutBranch and checkoutLocalBranch in the Simple Git git checkout documentation.

Simple-git is a tool for running git commands in any Node.js application. It gives us access to make all kinds of permutations on top of your commits and branches. With that library, we can easily create a script responsible for releasing our latest changes and running it from the command line.
