A set of plugins supporting interaction with Git within Gradle.

The primary use cases are:

• General Git actions. The plugin JAR depends on, and makes available, grgit which provides a Groovy API for interacting with Git repositories.
• Publishing to a Github Pages website. The org.ajoberstar.github-pages plugin adds support for publishing files to the gh-pages branch of a Git repository.
• Managing your release process:
  • org.ajoberstar.release-base provides a general structure for generating a project version from the state of your project and/or the Git repository it resides in.
  • org.ajoberstar.release-opinion adds an opinionated set of defaults on top of the base plugin that comply with Semantic Versioning.

buildscript {
  repositories {
    // jcenter()
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath 'org.ajoberstar:gradle-git:<version>'
  }
}

NOTE: Requires Gradle 2.1 or later.

Pick and choose based on the plugins you want to use.

plugins {
  id 'org.ajoberstar.grgit' version '<version>'
  id 'org.ajoberstar.github-pages' version '<version>'
  // only one of the following
  id 'org.ajoberstar.release-opinion' version '<version>'
  id 'org.ajoberstar.release-base' version '<version>'
}
