Git

Since Camel 2.16

The git: component allows you to work with a generic Git repository.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-git</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI Format

git://localRepositoryPath[?options]

URI Options

The producer allows to do operations on a specific repository.

The consumer allows consuming commits, tags and branches on a specific repository.

The Git component has no options.

The Git endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

git:localPath

with the following path and query parameters:

By default the consumer will use the org.apache.camel.spi.ExceptionHandler to deal with exceptions, that will be logged at WARN or ERROR level and ignored.

from("direct:start")
        .setHeader(GitConstants.GIT_FILE_NAME, constant("test.java"))
        .to("git:///tmp/testRepo?operation=add")
        .setHeader(GitConstants.GIT_COMMIT_MESSAGE, constant("first commit"))
        .to("git:///tmp/testRepo?operation=commit")
        .to("git:///tmp/testRepo?operation=push&remotePath=https://foo.com/test/test.git&username=xxx&password=xxx")
        .to("git:///tmp/testRepo?operation=createTag&tagName=myTag")
        .to("git:///tmp/testRepo?operation=pushTag&tagName=myTag&remoteName=origin")
