Merge legacy `fetchGit`-builtin with the generic `fetchTree`-function The original idea was to implement a git-fetcher in Nix's core that supports content hashes[1]. In #3549[2] it has been suggested to actually use `fetchTree` for this since it's a fairly generic wrapper over the new fetcher-API[3] and already supports content-hashes. This patch implements a new git-fetcher based on `fetchTree` by incorporating the following changes: * Removed the original `fetchGit`-implementation and replaced it with an alias on the `fetchTree` implementation. * Ensured that the `git`-fetcher from `libfetchers` always computes a content-hash and returns an "empty" revision on dirty trees (the latter one is needed to retain backwards-compatibility). * The hash-mismatch error in the fetcher-API exits with code 102 as it usually happens whenever a hash-mismatch is detected by Nix. * Removed the `flakes`-feature-flag: I didn't see a reason why this API is so tightly coupled to the flakes-API and at least `fetchGit` should remain usable without any feature-flags. * It's only possible to specify a `narHash` for a `git`-tree if either a `ref` or a `rev` is given[4]. * It's now possible to specify an URL without a protocol.

Download the specified URL, unpack it and return the path of the
unpacked tree. The file must be a tape archive (`.tar`) compressed
with `gzip`, `bzip2` or `xz`. The top-level path component of the
files in the tarball is removed, so it is best if the tarball
contains a single directory at top level. The typical use of the
function is to obtain external Nix expression dependencies, such as
a particular version of Nixpkgs, e.g.
```nix
with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz) {};
stdenv.mkDerivation { }
```
The fetched tarball is cached for a certain amount of time (1 hour
by default) in `~/.cache/nix/tarballs/`. You can change the cache
timeout either on the command line with `--option tarball-ttl number
of seconds` or in the Nix configuration file with this option: `
number of seconds to cache `.
Note that when obtaining the hash with ` nix-prefetch-url ` the
option `--unpack` is required.
This function can also verify the contents against a hash. In that
case, the function takes a set instead of a URL. The set requires
the attribute `url` and the attribute `sha256`, e.g.
```nix
with import (fetchTarball {
url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz";
sha256 = "1jppksrfvbk5ypiqdz4cddxdl8z6zyzdb2srq8fcffr327ld5jj2";
}) {};
stdenv.mkDerivation { }
```
This function is not available if [restricted evaluation
mode](../command-ref/conf-file.md) is enabled.

Merge legacy `fetchGit`-builtin with the generic `fetchTree`-function The original idea was to implement a git-fetcher in Nix's core that supports content hashes[1]. In #3549[2] it has been suggested to actually use `fetchTree` for this since it's a fairly generic wrapper over the new fetcher-API[3] and already supports content-hashes. This patch implements a new git-fetcher based on `fetchTree` by incorporating the following changes: * Removed the original `fetchGit`-implementation and replaced it with an alias on the `fetchTree` implementation. * Ensured that the `git`-fetcher from `libfetchers` always computes a content-hash and returns an "empty" revision on dirty trees (the latter one is needed to retain backwards-compatibility). * The hash-mismatch error in the fetcher-API exits with code 102 as it usually happens whenever a hash-mismatch is detected by Nix. * Removed the `flakes`-feature-flag: I didn't see a reason why this API is so tightly coupled to the flakes-API and at least `fetchGit` should remain usable without any feature-flags. * It's only possible to specify a `narHash` for a `git`-tree if either a `ref` or a `rev` is given[4]. * It's now possible to specify an URL without a protocol. If it's missing, `file://` is automatically added as it was the case in the original `fetchGit`-implementation.

Fetch a path from git. *args* can be a URL, in which case the HEAD
of the repo at that URL is fetched. Otherwise, it can be an
attribute with the following attributes (all except `url` optional):
- url
The URL of the repo.
- name
The name of the directory the repo should be exported to in the
store. Defaults to the basename of the URL.
- rev
The git revision to fetch. Defaults to the tip of `ref`.
- ref
The git ref to look for the requested revision under. This is
often a branch or tag name. Defaults to `HEAD`.
By default, the `ref` value is prefixed with `refs/heads/`. As
of Nix 2.3.0 Nix will not prefix `refs/heads/` if `ref` starts
with `refs/`.
- submodules
A Boolean parameter that specifies whether submodules should be
checked out. Defaults to `false`.
Here are some examples of how to use `fetchGit`.
- To fetch a private repository over SSH:
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "git@github.com:my-secret/repository.git";
ref = "master";
rev = "adab8b916a45068c044658c4158d81878f9ed1c3";
}
```
- To fetch an arbitrary reference:
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git";
ref = "refs/heads/0.5-release";
}
```
- If the revision you're looking for is in the default branch of
the git repository you don't strictly need to specify the branch
name in the `ref` attribute.
However, if the revision you're looking for is in a future
branch for the non-default branch you will need to specify the
the `ref` attribute as well.
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://github.com/nixos/nix.git";
rev = "841fcbd04755c7a2865c51c1e2d3b045976b7452";
ref = "1.11-maintenance";
}
```
> **Note**
>
> It is nice to always specify the branch which a revision
> belongs to. Without the branch being specified, the fetcher
> might fail if the default branch changes. Additionally, it can
> be confusing to try a commit from a non-default branch and see
> the fetch fail. If the branch is specified the fault is much
> more obvious.
- If the revision you're looking for is in the default branch of
the git repository you may omit the `ref` attribute.
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://github.com/nixos/nix.git";
rev = "841fcbd04755c7a2865c51c1e2d3b045976b7452";
}
```
- To fetch a specific tag:
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "https://github.com/nixos/nix.git";
ref = "refs/tags/1.9";
}
```
- To fetch the latest version of a remote branch:
```nix
builtins.fetchGit {
url = "ssh://git@github.com/nixos/nix.git";
ref = "master";
}
```
> **Note**
>
> Nix will refetch the branch in accordance with
> the option `tarball-ttl`.
> **Note**
>
> This behavior is disabled in *Pure evaluation mode*.
