Struct Reference 

pub struct Reference {
    pub name: RefName,
    pub target: Target,
}

A full reference name and its stored target, without symbolic resolution or tag peeling.

Use this owned result for display or subsequent conditional operations. Enumeration order is stable in the returned vector, but filesystem traversal is not one repository-wide instant; preserve an expected value when acting on it.

use girt::refs::{Expected, RefName, Target};
use girt::{InitKind, ObjectFormat, Repository};

let directory = tempfile::tempdir()?;
let repo = Repository::init(
    ObjectFormat::Sha1,
    directory.path().join("r.git"),
    InitKind::Bare,
)?;

let id = repo.loose_objects().write_blob(b"tagged manifest")?;
let refs = repo.references()?;
let name = RefName::new("refs/tags/one")?;
refs.update_without_reflog(&name, Target::Direct(id), Expected::Absent)?;

let listed = refs.list()?;
assert_eq!(listed[0].name, name);
assert_eq!(listed[0].target, Target::Direct(id));

Fields

name: RefName

Exact reference-name bytes; enumeration excludes pseudorefs such as HEAD.

target: Target

Effective backend value. Symbolic targets may be missing or cyclic.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Reference

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for Reference

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Eq for Reference

impl PartialEq for Reference

fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool
