Resolve a provider from the Git facade (or an injected GitManager), authenticate once — a token, an OAuth grant or a GitHub App — and read or write repositories, commits, pull requests, issues, releases, files and webhooks through one API that returns typed data objects. On GitHub it also starts and watches Actions workflows. Signed inbound webhooks arrive as Laravel events, and a built-in fake lets you test it all without the network. MIT-licensed and built on Laravel’s own HTTP client with no third-party runtime dependencies — crypto, enums and rate limiting come from our own companion packages. ### What you get #### Three forges, one API GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket behind one Git facade — or an injected GitManager — so switching forge is a one-word change. #### Typed, canonical data Every result is a typed object with a normalized ResourceState, plus a raw() escape hatch for any unmodelled field. #### Reads, writes and reviews Repositories, commits, pull requests, issues, releases, files and diffs — and creating, reviewing and merging them. #### GitHub Actions, driven Dispatch a workflow, get back the run it started, follow its jobs and steps, query runs and cancel — a dispatch is never sent twice. #### Self-refreshing credentials GitHub App installation tokens and OAuth tokens minted, cached and refreshed for you, scoped per repository. #### Signed webhooks as events Inbound webhooks verified in constant time and dispatched as typed Laravel events, plus idempotent one-call registration. #### Quota-safe and resilient Client-side pacing, adaptive Retry-After back-off, read retries and ETag caching — writes are never retried. #### Testable without HTTP Git::fake() swaps in a recording double for the facade and injected managers alike, with chainable seeders and call assertions. ### Documentation #### [Installation](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/installation.md) Install via Composer and optionally publish the config and webhook route stub — the service provider and Git facade are auto-discovered. #### [Configuration](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/configuration.md) Every config key and default — per-provider URLs, tokens, retries and rate limits, GitHub App and OAuth, caching, logging, webhooks, batching. #### [The Git facade](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/facade.md) Everything starts at Git:: — a driver per forge, repo() and pullRequest() handles, installation lookups, webhook checks and a scope guard. #### [Without the facade](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/without-facade.md) Inject GitManager instead of calling the facade, or drop to the flat Provider methods the handles wrap — same code, same fake. #### [Providers & credentials](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/providers.md) Resolve GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket from the Git facade, authenticate with a token, OAuth or GitHub App credential, or read public repos anonymously. #### [Repositories & pagination](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/repositories.md) Read the authenticated user, list repositories as typed pages or a lazy stream across every page, search, and fetch a single repository. #### [Branches & commits](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/commits.md) List branches, look up a branch head by exact name, query commits by branch, author, path and date, and read GitHub’s activity feed. #### [Pull requests, issues & files](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/reading.md) Read pull/merge requests, issues, tags, releases, decoded file contents, diffs, contributors and languages as typed objects. #### [Data model & raw payloads](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/data-model.md) Provider-agnostic objects with a normalized ResourceState, a raw() escape hatch for unmodelled fields, and clean array and JSON output. #### [Concurrent batch fetches](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/batch.md) Fan many reads out over one Http::pool() round trip and get a keyed BatchResult that separates successes from per-key failures. #### [Write operations](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/write-operations.md) Create branches, files, pull requests, comments, releases, tags and webhooks with validated input objects — writes are never retried. #### [Creating repositories](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/creating-repositories.md) Create repositories under a user, an organization or from a template, with an initial commit and a chosen default branch. #### [Merging & reviewing PRs](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/pull-requests.md) Close, approve and merge pull requests pinned to a head SHA, publish a full review with inline comments, and read reviews back. #### [GitHub Actions](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/github-actions.md) Dispatch a workflow and get the run it started, poll its status, jobs and steps, query runs by branch, event or status, and cancel them. #### [GitHub App & OAuth tokens](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/github-app-oauth.md) Self-refreshing GitHub App installation tokens and OAuth access tokens — minted, cached and refreshed for you, with an event on rotation. #### [Scoped tokens & installations](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/installation-tokens.md) Narrow installation tokens to specific repositories, verify installations as the app itself, and send users to install your GitHub App. #### [Clone URLs](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/clone-urls.md) Build authenticated HTTPS clone URLs from a static token, an OAuth grant or a GitHub App installation token. #### [Webhooks](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/webhooks.md) Receive signature-verified webhooks as typed Laravel events and register your endpoint on a repository idempotently in one call. #### [Retries, caching & rate limits](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/resilience.md) Read retries with backoff, ETag conditional caching, client-side pacing with adaptive back-off, rate-limit status and safe request logging. #### [Feature detection](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/feature-detection.md) Check what each provider supports before calling it, read the full capability matrix, and compare GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket side by side. #### [Artisan commands](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/commands.md) List repositories and commits, check rate-limit status, and register, list or delete repository webhooks from the command line. #### [Errors & exceptions](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/exceptions.md) Every exception the package throws, when it is thrown, and how HTTP statuses from the forge map onto them. #### [Testing](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/testing.md) Git::fake() records every provider call for the facade and injected managers — seed responses, run code without HTTP, assert what was sent. #### [Requirements](https://roundly-consulting.com/open-source/docs/git-for-laravel/requirements.md) PHP 8.4+, Laravel 12 or 13, and four Roundly companion packages that Composer installs automatically. ##
