Struct Commit

pub struct Commit {
    pub hash: Hash,
    pub tree: Hash,
    pub parents: Vec<Hash>,
    /* private fields */
}

A parsed git commit

Example

// The initial commit of this project's git repository
let repository  = Repository::from_path(".").unwrap();
let hcommit     = commit::Hash::from_str("02c4f0499bcf979ad86d9ef5b61ffc51b1394bef").unwrap();
let htree       = tree  ::Hash::from_str("88824f5315abd219d2f6f5f68fe69f32386ffc00").unwrap();

let commit = Commit::read(&repository, &hcommit).unwrap();
assert_eq!(commit.hash, hcommit);
assert_eq!(commit.tree, htree);
assert_eq!(commit.parents.len(), 0); // initial commit

Fields

hash: Hash

The Hash representing this Commit

tree: Hash

parents: Vec<Hash>

The Hashes of the 0 or more parent Commits of this Commit

Initial Commits have 0 parents. Merge Commits have multiple parents. Vanilla boring Commits have 1 parent, the previous commit.
