The Git2Pages extension implements a parser tag so you can transclude snippets of files in a git repository into wiki pages. To do so it executes git commands to clone a repository locally and then reads files from disk.

Usage

{{#snippet:repository=MYREPO|filename=MYFILE|branch=MYBRANCH |startline=STARTLINE|endline=ENDLINE}}

The parameters are:

• repository - The URL of the git repository. REQUIRED
• filename - The filename whose data is going to be displayed. REQUIRED
• branch - The branch to look for the file. OPTIONAL (Default = master)
• startline - The start of where the snippet will be pulled. OPTIONAL (Default = Start of file)
• endline - The end of where the snippet will be pulled. OPTIONAL (Default = End of file)

Requirements

This extension uses wfShellExec() to run shell commands that probably require the bash shell.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted Git2Pages folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/Git2Pages
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'Git2Pages' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
