sbt-git

The sbt-git plugin offers git command line features directly inside sbt as well as allowing other plugins to make use of git.

Installation

Add the following to your project/plugins.sbt or ~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/plugins.sbt file:

addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-git" % "0.7.1")

Using JGit

If you do not have git installed and available on your path (e.g. you use windows), make sure your git.sbt or ~/.sbt/0.13/git.sbt file looks like this:

useJGit

Or you can type this into the prompt:

> set useJGit
[info] Reapplying settings...
[info] Set current project to scala-arm (in build file:...)
> session save
[info] Reapplying settings...
[info] Set current project to scala-arm (in build file:...)

This will enable a java-only GIT solution that, while not supporting all the same commands that can be run in the standard git command line, is good enough for most git activities.

Versioning with Git

You can begin to use git to control your project versions. To do so, simply add the following settings to your build (not necessary for every project), in this specific order:

import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtGit._

versionWithGit

// Optionally:
git.baseVersion := "0.1"

The git plugin will now autogenerate your version using the following rules, in order:

  1. Looks at version-property setting (default to project.version), and checks the sys.props to see if this has a value. If so, use it.
  2. Otherwise, looks at the project tags. The first to match the gitTagToVersionNumberSetting is used to assign the version. The default is to look for tags that begin with v and a number, and use the number as the version.
  3. If no tags are found either, look at the head commit. We attach this to the git.baseVersion setting: "<base-version>.<git commit sha>"
  4. If no head commit is present either (which means this is a brand-new repository with no commits yet), we append the current timestamp to the base version: "<base-version>.<timestamp>".

The git.baseVersion setting represents the in-development (upcoming) version you're working on.

You can alter the tag-detection algorithm using the git.gitTagToVersionNumber setting. For example, if we wanted to alter the default version tag detection so it does not require a "v" at the start of tags, we could add the following setting:

git.gitTagToVersionNumber := { tag: String =>
  if(tag matches "[0.9]+\\..*") Some(tag)
  else None
}

You can turn on version detection using git describe command by adding:

git.useGitDescribe := true

This way version returned will be last tag + number of commits since tag + short hash.

Prompts

You can use the git plugin to add the project name + the current branch to your prompt. Simply add this setting to every project:

showCurrentGitBranch

Usage

In an sbt prompt, simply enter any git command. e.g.

> git status
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#	modified:   build.sbt
#	modified:   project/plugins/project/Build.scala
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	src/site/
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
