API

grf({ filter, head, relative }, callback)

Get a list of git range files from head

• filter: string of git status codes. No spaces
• relative: string or boolean (true by default)
  When run from a subdirectory of the project, it can be told to exclude changes outside the directory and show pathnames relative to it with this option. When you are not in a subdirectory (e.g. in a bare repository), you can name which subdirectory to make the output relative to by giving a as an argument.
• callback:
  • err: the error
  • results: file object array.

grf.getHead(callback)

Get head that will be used in the diff to ID which files are waiting to be staged.

• callback
  • err: the error
  • head: the git commit id which is aliased to head.

grf.readFile(filename, [options], callback)

This is a proxy for fs.readFile with one change. The filename will be relative to the grf.cwd

grf.debug

Boolean that flips logging on and off. By default this is false. If true, all git commands will be console logged.

grf.includeContent

If true, include content will add a content or err param to the file object.

• Default Value: false
• Content Param: the content of the file staged
• Err Param: the error message received while trying to read the file.

grf.cwd

The current working directory. AKA: where the .git folder you care about is.

Default Value: is equal to process.cwd() of your app.g
