RepositoriesDB

Repository DB behaves like a git-saved codebase, but with plain objects instead of files. Addresses, branches, versions, authors, comments.

Instance methods

createRepository

Name, address, branch, initial objects, commit message.

getRepository / getBranch

Metadata: S8RepositoryMetadata, S8BranchMetadata.

forkRepository / forkBranch

Fork the object graph the way you would fork a repo.

commitBranch

Commit a new version of the graph.

cloneBranch

Clone at a version, often S8SyncFlow.HEAD_VERSION.

deleteRepository

Remove a repository.

RepoS8Object

Binds _S8_vertex via RepoS8Vertex.FACTORY.createRepoS8Vertex(this). Use it as the node type of anything you want versioned like source.

Example

RepositoriesDB repos = flow.repositories();
repos.createRepository(new CreateRepositoryS8Request(
    "MyRepo", "repo/ada/demo", "demo", "main",
    new RepoS8Object[]{ root }, "initial commit"));
CloneBranchS8Response clone = repos.cloneBranch(
    new CloneBranchS8Request("repo/ada/demo", "main"));
