Git::R...:Entry(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

ok so this is Git::Raw::Index::Entry — it's the Git index entry class, bestie. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual, aka 3pm, iykyk.

---

✨ VERSION ✨

this is version 0.90, periodt. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so a Git::Raw::Index::Entry represents, like… an index entry inside a Git repository index. that's it, that's the job. one entry, one little row in the index. iconic behavior honestly. 🌸

⚠️ WARNING, and I need you to hear me on this one: the API of this module is unstable and may change without warning. any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog, but like — no warning, bestie. none. plan accordingly. 😭

🫶 METHODS 🫶

okay so here's the whole roster, no skips, every single one:

• id( ) — grabs the id of the index entry and hands it back to you as a string. 💖
• is_conflict( ) — checks whether the entry has a non-zero stage entry. if yes: conflict. drama detected. 💀
• mode( ) — returns the mode of the index entry. important little detail: it comes back as a number, not a string. don't get got by that one. 🔥
• path( ) — returns the path of the index entry. where it lives. its little address. 🏠
• size( ) — returns the size of the index entry. how big. that's it. 🍓
• stage( ) — returns the stage number for the index entry. 🌈
• blob( ) — retrieves the blob for the the index entry, and returns a Git::Raw::Blob object. yes, the double "the the" is in the original, we're keeping it, it's part of the lore now. 😌
• clone( $path ) — clones the entry, but uses $path as the entry's path instead. ⭐

💀 WARNING on clone( $path ): use with caution, babe. this is only useful for scenarios where a conflict entry should be added to the index where $path should be used. niche, specific, powerful. handle with care.
