Is there a way to get the repository name using GitPython?
repo = git.Repo.clone_from(repoUrl, ".", branch=branch)
I can't seem to find any properties attached to the repo object which has this information. It might be that I misunderstand how github/GitPython works.
Simple, compact, and robust that works with remote .git repos:
from git import Repo
repo = Repo(repo_path)
# For remote repositories
repo_name = repo.remotes.origin.url.split('.git')[0].split('/')[-1]
# For local repositories
repo_name = repo.working_tree_dir.split("/")[-1]
working_tree_dir is None for bare repositories.
repo_name = Path(str(repo.remotes.origin.url)).stemMay I suggest:
remote_url = repo.remotes[0].config_reader.get("url") # e.g. 'https://github.com/abc123/MyRepo.git'
os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(remote_url))[0] # 'MyRepo'
I don't think there is a way to do it. However, I built this function to retrieve the repository name given an URL (you can see it in action here):
def get_repo_name_from_url(url: str) -> str:
last_slash_index = url.rfind("/")
last_suffix_index = url.rfind(".git")
if last_suffix_index < 0:
last_suffix_index = len(url)
if last_slash_index < 0 or last_suffix_index <= last_slash_index:
raise Exception("Badly formatted url {}".format(url))
return url[last_slash_index + 1:last_suffix_index]
Then, you do:
get_repo_name_from_url("https://github.com/ishepard/pydriller.git") # returns pydriller
get_repo_name_from_url("https://github.com/ishepard/pydriller") # returns pydriller
get_repo_name_from_url("https://github.com/ishepard/pydriller.git/asd") # Exception
repoName = repoUrl.rsplit("/")[1].split(".")[0] but your way is more robust I guess.The working_dir property of the Repo object is the absolute path to the git repo. To parse the repo name, you can use the os.path.basename function.
>>> import git
>>> import os
>>>
>>> repo = git.Repo.clone_from(repoUrl, ".", branch=branch)
>>> repo.working_dir
'/home/user/repo_name'
>>> os.path.basename(repo.working_dir)
'repo_name'
