ensure_git_status_clean

Raises an exception if there are uncommitted git changes

A sanity check to make sure you are working in a repo that is clean.
Especially useful to put at the beginning of your Fastfile in the before_all block, if some of your other actions will touch your filesystem, do things to your git repo, or just as a general reminder to save your work.
Also needed as a prerequisite for some other actions like reset_git_repo.

ensure_git_status_clean

Parameters

Key Description Default
show_uncommitted_changes The flag whether to show uncommitted changes if the repo is dirty false
show_diff The flag whether to show the git diff if the repo is dirty false
ignored The handling mode of the ignored files. The available options are: 'traditional', 'none' (default) and 'matching'. Specifying 'none' to this parameter is the same as not specifying the parameter at all, which means that no ignored file will be used to check if the repo is dirty or not. Specifying 'traditional' or 'matching' causes some ignored files to be used to check if the repo is dirty or not (more info in the official docs: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-status#Documentation/git-status.txt---ignoredltmodegt)
ignore_files Array of files to ignore

* = default value is dependent on the user's system

Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

fastlane action ensure_git_status_clean

CLI

It is recommended to add the above action into your Fastfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal

fastlane run ensure_git_status_clean

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

fastlane run ensure_git_status_clean parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"

It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.

It is recommended to add all fastlane actions you use to your Fastfile.


Source code

This action, just like the rest of fastlane, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
