Easy Node.JS Git wrapper with support for SSH keys. By default, the Git CLI
tool will only use the SSH key of the current user (e.g. $HOME/.ssh/id_dsa).
In order to be able to use Git with an arbitrary SSH key, a wrapper shell script to invoke ssh -i <key> must be written and the GIT_SSH environment
variable must point to that script.
Gitane wraps all this plumbing for you. Simply pass the SSH private key you wish to run Git with as a string argument and let Gitane do the rest. Gitane will clean up the temporary wrapper script after it is done.
Gitane is available in NPM. npm install gitane
var fs = require('fs')
var gitane = require('gitane')
var path = require('path')
// Use current working dir
var baseDir = process.cwd()
// Read private key from ~/.ssh/id_dsa
var privKey = fs.readFileSync(path.join(process.env.HOME, '.ssh/id_dsa'), 'utf8')
gitane.run(baseDir, privKey, "git clone git://github.com/niallo/Gitane.git",
function(err, stdout, stderr, exitCode) {
if (err) {
console.log("An error occurred: " + stderr)
process.exit(1)
}
console.log("Git clone complete!")
})Gitane comes with tests. To run, simply execute npm test.
Gitane is released under a BSD license.
