A Python version of the command line part of the Git2PROV project. https://github.com/IDLabResearch/Git2PROV
This Python command line program uses the prov library as well as pygit2.
This means the manual PROV serialization done in the original Git2PROV JavaScript code has been replaced by the PROV handling of the prov library. The calling of git on the command line from inside the JavaScript code has been replaced by the usage of pygit2.
Features of the original Git2PROV code that are not (yet) included are
- The cloning to a temporary directory which is then removed. At least on Windows, trying to remove a git repository e.g. by using
shutil.rmtreefrom inside the Python code results in privilege problems. - This script obviously is only a CLI program and not a web application. It only emulates the command line version of Git2PROV
