Sample application to list the latest directory (recursively):
package main
import (
"github.com/speedata/gogit"
"log"
"os"
"path"
"path/filepath"
)
func walk(dirname string, te *gogit.TreeEntry) int {
log.Println(path.Join(dirname, te.Name))
return 0
}
func main() {
wd, err := os.Getwd()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
repository, err := gogit.OpenRepository(filepath.Join(wd, "src/github.com/speedata/gogit/_testdata/testrepo.git"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
ref, err := repository.LookupReference("HEAD")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
ci, err := repository.LookupCommit(ref.Oid)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
ci.Tree.Walk(walk)
}
We use gogit
as the backend in https://ctanmirror.speedata.de. This is a
mirror of CTAN, the comprehensive TeX archive network with approx. 30GB of
data. We rsync it from the main site at ctan.org every night and add the
changes to a git repository (with the regular git command). Then we use this web
front end to retrieve the historic files.
The git repository is around 500 GB (May 2017) and dates back to 2013.
