gradle-git has been around since 2012 and has evolved quite a bit from the original release. In order to continue to evolve these features, this project is being broken up into multiple repositories. As such:
- gradle-git will no longer be maintained
| feature | replacement | comments |
|---|---|---|
org.ajoberstar.grgit |
grgit | Grgit has been an independent project since 2013 and has been stable for quite a while. Version 2.0 removed some deprecated features, but otherwise is fully compatible with existing usage. It also integrates the org.ajoberstar.grgit plugin directly into the project. |
org.ajoberstar.github-pages |
gradle-git-publish |
org.ajoberstar.git-publish is a more robust version of the old plugin. It is functionally equivalent (or better), but does require porting configuration over as noted in the README. |
org.ajoberstar.release-* |
reckon | Reckon focuses solely on determining your project version (and assisting with tagging and pushing that tag). It provides an opinionated model of how to apply semantic versioning, with more finite configuration options. |
org.ajoberstar.release-* |
nebula-release | If reckon doesn't suit your needs, nebula-release has forked the gradle-git release plugin and can serve as a replacement for this. |
Git is immensely popular and being able to interact with it as part of a build process can be very valuable to provide a more powerful and consistent result.
gradle-git is a set of Gradle plugins:
-
org.ajoberstar.grgit- provides aGrgitinstance, allowing interaction with the Git repository the Gradle project is contained in -
org.ajoberstar.github-pages- publishes files to thegh-pagesbranch of a Github repository -
org.ajoberstar.release-base- general structure for inferring a project version and releasing it -
org.ajoberstar.release-opinion- opinionated defaults fororg.ajoberstar.release-base
See Grgit for details on the Git library used underneath, including configuration for authentication.
NOTE: gradle-git modules require Java 7 (or higher).
gradle-git is not maintained anymore. See the Project Status section above for details.

Thanks to all of the contributors.
Credit goes to Peter Ledbrook for the initial
idea for the org.ajoberstar.github-pages plugin.
Thanks to Zafar Khaja for the very helpful java-semver library.
