# Aider chat conversation:
USER: add a get_dirty_files() method which returns all the files which are dirty (not committed) either staged or in the working dir.
ASSISTANT: To add the `get_dirty_files()` method, we need to:
1. Define the new method in the `GitRepo` class.
2. Implement the logic to return all dirty files, both staged and in the working directory.
Here is the *SEARCH/REPLACE* block:
aider/repo.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH
def is_dirty(self, path=None):
=======
def get_dirty_files(self):
"""
Returns a list of all files which are dirty (not committed), either staged or in the working directory.
"""
dirty_files = set()
# Get staged files
staged_files = self.repo.git.diff('--name-only', '--cached').splitlines()
dirty_files.update(staged_files)
# Get unstaged files
unstaged_files = self.repo.git.diff('--name-only').splitlines()
dirty_files.update(unstaged_files)
return list(dirty_files)
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```
aider/repo.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH
return self.repo.is_dirty(path=path)
=======
return self.repo.is_dirty(path=path)
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```
# Aider chat conversation:
ASSISTANT: To implement the `filter_ignored_files` method, we need to use the `pathspec` library to filter the filenames according to the gitignore type specifications in `self.aider_ignore_file`.
The `pathspec` library is not currently imported in the `repo.py` file, so we need to add that import.
We also need to read the `aider_ignore_file` and use its contents to create a `pathspec` that we can use to filter the filenames.
Here are the changes:
```python
aider/repo.py
<<<<<<< HEAD
import os
from pathlib import Path, PurePosixPath
import git
from aider import models, prompts, utils
from aider.sendchat import simple_send_with_retries
from .dump import dump # noqa: F401
=======
import os
import pathspec
from pathlib import Path, PurePosixPath
import git
from aider import models, prompts, utils
from aider.sendchat import simple_send_with_retries
from .dump import dump # noqa: F401
>>>>>>> updated
```
```python
aider/repo.py
<<<<<<< HEAD
def filter_ignored_files(self, fnames):
if not self.aider_ignore_file:
return
# todo: use pathspec to filter fnames according to the gitignore type specs in self.aider_ignore_file
=======
def filter_ignored_files(self, fnames):
if not self.aider_ignore_file:
return fnames
with open(self.aider_ignore_file, 'r') as f:
ignore_spec = pathspec.PathSpec.from_lines('gitwildmatch', f)
return [fname for fname in fnames if not ignore_spec.match_file(fname)]
>>>>>>> updated
```
Please note that these changes assume that `self.aider_ignore_file` is a path to a file containing gitignore-style patterns, one per line. If `self.aider_ignore_file` is not in this format, the code may need to be adjusted.
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: is there any way to enumerate the staged files using the index besides index.diff
ASSISTANT: Yes, you can enumerate the staged files using the `index.entries` property of the `IndexFile` object. This property returns a dictionary-like object where the keys are the file paths and the values are `IndexEntry` objects.
Here's how you can modify the `get_tracked_files` method in the `GitRepo` class to use `index.entries` instead of `index.diff`:
```python
aider/repo.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
def get_tracked_files(self):
if not self.repo:
return []
try:
commit = self.repo.head.commit
except ValueError:
commit = None
files = []
if commit:
for blob in commit.tree.traverse():
if blob.type == "blob": # blob is a file
files.append(blob.path)
# Add staged files
index = self.repo.index
staged_files = [item.a_path for item in index.diff(None)]
dump(staged_files)
files.extend(staged_files)
# convert to appropriate os.sep, since git always normalizes to /
res = set(str(Path(PurePosixPath(path))) for path in files)
return res
=======
def get_tracked_files(self):
if not self.repo:
return []
try:
commit = self.repo.head.commit
except ValueError:
commit = None
files = []
if commit:
for blob in commit.tree.traverse():
if blob.type == "blob": # blob is a file
files.append(blob.path)
# Add staged files
index = self.repo.index
staged_files = [str(Path(PurePosixPath(path))) for path in index.entries.keys()]
dump(staged_files)
files.extend(staged_files)
# convert to appropriate os.sep, since git always normalizes to /
res = set(str(Path(PurePosixPath(path))) for path in files)
return res
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This change will make the `get_tracked_files` method return all files in the index, not just the ones that have been modified. If you only want to get the files that have been modified, you should stick with using `index.diff`.
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: index.diff("HEAD") fails when the repo has never had any commits
ASSISTANT: To handle the case where the repository has never had any commits, we can add a try-except block around the `index.diff("HEAD")` call in the `get_tracked_files` method of the `GitRepo` class in the `aider/repo.py` file. If a `git.exc.BadName` exception is raised, we can assume that there are no commits and return an empty list for the staged files.
Here is the proposed change:
```python
aider/repo.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
# Add staged files
index = self.repo.index
staged_files = [item.a_path for item in index.diff("HEAD")]
files.extend(staged_files)
=======
# Add staged files
^C KeyboardInterrupt
USER: there can be staged files when there are not commits
ASSISTANT: You're correct. If there are no commits, `index.diff("HEAD")` will fail, but there can still be staged files. We can use `index.diff(None)` to get the staged files in this case. Here's the proposed change:
```python
aider/repo.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
# Add staged files
index = self.repo.index
staged_files = [item.a_path for item in index.diff("HEAD")]
files.extend(staged_files)
=======
# Add staged files
index = self.repo.index
try:
staged_files = [item.a_path for item in index.diff("HEAD")]
except git.exc.BadName:
staged_files = [item.a_path for item in index.diff(None)]
files.extend(staged_files)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
