Project Status

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.

Why do you care?

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.

What is it?

gradle-git is a set of Gradle plugins:

org.ajoberstar.grgit - provides a Grgit instance, allowing interaction with the Git repository the Gradle project is contained in
org.ajoberstar.github-pages - publishes files to the gh-pages branch of a Github repository
org.ajoberstar.release-base - general structure for inferring a project version and releasing it
org.ajoberstar.release-opinion - opinionated defaults for org.ajoberstar.release-base

See Grgit for details on the Git library used underneath, including configuration for authentication.

Usage

NOTE: gradle-git modules require Java 7 (or higher).
