VERSION

DESCRIPTION
A Git::Raw::Reference represents a Git reference.
WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).
METHODS
lookup( $name, $repo )
Retrieve the reference with name $name in $repo.
create( $name, $repo, $object [, $force] )
Creates and returns a new direct reference named $name in $repo pointing to $object. $object can be a Git::Raw::Blob, Git::Raw::Commit, or a Git::Raw::Tree object. If $force is a truthy value, any existing reference is overwritten. If $force is falsy (the default) and a reference named $name already exists, an error is thrown.
delete( )
Delete the reference. The Git::Raw::Reference object must not be accessed afterwards.
name( )
Retrieve the name of the reference.
type( )
Retrieve the type of the reference. Can be either "direct" or "symbolic".
target( )
Retrieve the target of the reference. This function returns either an object (Git::Raw::Blob, Git::Raw::Commit, Git::Raw::Tag or Git::Raw::Tree) for direct references, or another reference for symbolic references.
owner( )
Retrieve the Git::Raw::Repository owning the reference.
is_branch( )
Check if the reference is a branch.
is_remote( )
Check if the reference is remote.
