I am trying to code an simple PHP application which will retrieve some information

  • 0

I am trying to code an simple PHP application which will retrieve some information from the remote Git repositories with terminal commands. I do not want to create a local working copy or repository. I only want to read information from remote repositories (browse tree, commit history, file diffs, download file), so it will be a read only connection.

What I need to do is to run a series of simple commands like those in SVN: log, ls, diff, cat,..

I have allready done that for SVN and it was easy. Usually commands were similar to this format:

svn --user myusername --pass mypassword --non-interactive command -r revisionNumber urlToRemoteRepository

My question is how to get similar information from Git repositories with terminal commands only?

    I would SSH into the server using PuTTY (windows) or the ssh command (Mac/Linux) and run them from the command line there.
