Repository navigation
How do I checkout a branch in a similar way than the CLI does? #948
Description
Looking at this issue it seems this should be a branch switch and then a checkout, but I just can't figure out how to do it. #291
I've tried doing this:
func CheckoutBranch(r *git.Repository, b *git.Branch) error {
err := r.SetHead(b.Reference.Name())
if err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
}and this:
func CheckoutBranch(r *git.Repository, b *git.Branch) error {
err := r.SetHead(b.Reference.Name())
if err != nil {
return err
}
return r.CheckoutHead(&git.CheckoutOptions{
Strategy: git.CheckoutForce,
})
}But they both end up with a detached head. I've also tried, based on the suggestions from the other ticket, to do this:
func CheckoutBranch(r *git.Repository, b *git.Branch) error {
err := r.SetHead(b.Reference.Name())
if err != nil {
return err
}
tree, err := r.LookupTree(b.Target())
if err != nil {
return err
}
return r.CheckoutTree(tree, &git.CheckoutOptions{
Strategy: git.CheckoutForce,
})
}But this just throws and error.
