Class Method Details

.new(base, objectish, type = nil, is_tag = false) ⇒ Git::Object::AbstractObject

if we're calling this, we don't know what type it is yet so this is our little factory method

Parameters:

  • base (Git::Repository) —

    the repository used to query object data

  • objectish (String) —

    the object name, SHA, ref, or treeish path

  • type (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    object type hint: blob, commit, or tree

  • is_tag (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    whether to construct a tag object

Returns:
