Setting environment variables for git command

[craftydomops]

Hi there,

Is it possible to set the environment variables for the git commands?

I would like to set GIT_SSH_COMMAND like here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29754018

Is this possible? Can you give me any example?

Thanks,
Dom

Hi, currently not, but you can prepare custom Runner https://github.com/czproject/git-php/blob/master/src/Runners/CliRunner.php and send PR :)

I think Runner can be very simple:

namespace CzProject\GitPhp\Runners;

use CzProject\GitPhp\IRunner;

class EnvironmentVarsRunner implements IRunner
{
  private $env;
  private $runner;

  public function __construct(array $env, IRunner $runner)
  {
    $this->env = $env;
    $this->runner = $runner;
  }

  public function run($cwd, array $args, array $env = NULL)
  {
     if ($env === NULL) {
        $env = $this->env;
     } else {
        $env = array_merge($this->env, $env);
     }

     return $this->runner->run($cwd, $args, $env);
  }
}

// usage:
$cliRunner = new CzProject\GitPhp\Runners\CliRunner;
$envRunner = new CzProject\GitPhp\Runners\EnvironmentVarsRunner([
  'GIT_SSH_COMMAND' => '...',
], $cliRunner);
$git = new CzProject\GitPhp\Git($envRunner);

Thanks, I made this;
