Class Gitlab::Git::Attributes
In: lib/gitlab_git/attributes.rb
Parent: Object

Class for parsing Git attribute files and extracting the attributes for file patterns.

Unlike Rugged this parser only needs a single IO call (a call to `open`), vastly reducing the time spent in extracting attributes.

This class only supports parsing the attributes file located at `$GIT_DIR/info/attributes` as GitLab doesn‘t use any other files (`.gitattributes` is copied to this particular path).

Basic usage: 

    attributes = Gitlab::Git::Attributes.new(some_repo.path)

    attributes.attributes('README.md') # => { "eol" => "lf }
