Table of Contents

archive

Functions to work with archives.

archive.create

Creates an archive, possibly compressed, from a list of files.

archive.create(archive, files=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
archivePath

Expected path of the generated archive file.

filesglob or NoneType

An optional glob to describe the list of file paths that are to be included in the archive. If not specified, all files under the current working directory will be included. Note, the original file path in the filesystem will be preserved when archiving it.

archive.extract

Extract the contents of the archive to a path.

archive.extract(archive, type="AUTO", destination_folder=None, paths=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
archivePath

The path to the archive file.

typestring

The archive type. Supported types: AUTO, JAR, ZIP, TAR, TAR_GZ, TAR_XZ, and TAR_BZ2. AUTO will try to infer the archive type automatically.

destination_folderPath or NoneType

The path to extract the archive to. This defaults to the directory where the archive is located.

pathsglob or NoneType

An optional glob that is used to filter the files extracted from the archive.

author

Represents the author of a change

Fields:

NameDescription
emailstring

The email of the author

namestring

The name of the author

Returned By:

Consumed By:

authoring

The authors mapping between an origin and a destination

authoring.allowed

Create a list for an individual or team contributing code.

authoring_class authoring.allowed(default, allowlist)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
defaultstring

The default author for commits in the destination. This is used in squash mode workflows or when users are not on the list.

allowlistsequence of string

List of authors in the origin that are allowed to contribute code. The authors must be unique

Examples:

Only pass thru allowed users:
authoring.allowed(
    default = "Foo Bar <noreply@foobar.com>",
    allowlist = [
       "someuser@myorg.com",
       "other@myorg.com",
       "another@myorg.com",
    ],
)
Only pass thru allowed LDAPs/usernames:

Some repositories are not based on email but use LDAPs/usernames. This is also supported since it is up to the origin how to check whether two authors are the same.

authoring.allowed(
    default = "Foo Bar <noreply@foobar.com>",
    allowlist = [
       "someuser",
       "other",
       "another",
    ],
)

authoring.overwrite

Use the default author for all the submits in the destination. Note that some destinations might choose to ignore this author and use the current user running the tool (In other words they don't allow impersonation).

authoring_class authoring.overwrite(default)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
defaultstring

The default author for commits in the destination

Example:

Overwrite usage example:

Create an authoring object that will overwrite any origin author with noreply@foobar.com mail.

authoring.overwrite("Foo Bar <noreply@foobar.com>")

authoring.pass_thru

Use the origin author as the author in the destination, no filtering.

authoring_class authoring.pass_thru(default)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
defaultstring

The default author for commits in the destination. This is used in squash mode workflows or if author cannot be determined.

Example:

Pass thru usage example:

main_config_pathstring

Location of the config file. This is subject to change

Command line flags:

NameTypeDescription
--allow-empty-diffbooleanIf set to false, Copybara will not write to the destination if the exact same change is already pending in the destination. Currently only supported for git.github_pr_destination and git.gerrit_destination.
--commands-timeoutdurationCommands timeout. Example values: 30s, 20m, 1h, etc.
--config-rootstringConfiguration root path to be used for resolving absolute config labels like '//foo/bar'
--console-file-flush-intervaldurationHow often Copybara should flush the console to the output file. (10s, 1m, etc.)If set to 0s, console will be flushed only at the end. Example values: 30s, 20m, 1h, etc.
--console-file-pathstringIf set, write the console output also to the given file path.
--debug-file-breakstringStop when file matching the glob changes
--debug-metadata-breakbooleanStop when message and/or author changes
--debug-transform-breakstringStop when transform description matches
--diff-binstringCommand line diff tool bin used in merge import. Defaults to diff3, but users can pass in their own diffing tools (along with requisite arg reordering)
--disable-reversible-checkbooleanIf set, all workflows will be executed without reversible_check, overriding the workflow config and the normal behavior for CHANGE_REQUEST mode.
--dry-runbooleanRun the migration in dry-run mode. Some destination implementations might have some side effects (like creating a code review), but never submit to a main branch.
--event-monitorlistEventmonitors to enable. These must be in the list of available monitors.
--force, --force-updatebooleanForce the migration even if Copybara cannot find in the destination a change that is an ancestor of the one(s) being migrated. This should be used with care, as it could lose changes when migrating a previous/conflicting change.
--info-include-definitionbooleanWhen set, the INFO command will include the migrations' definition stack info in the table or list output. In table, leaves out origin, destination and mode.
--info-list-onlybooleanWhen set, the INFO command will print a list of workflows defined in the file.
--labelsimmutableMapAdditional flags. Can be accessed in feedback and mirror context objects via the cli_labels field. In core.workflow, they are accessible as labels, but with names uppercased and prefixed with FLAG_ to avoid name clashes with existing labels. I.e. --labels=label1:value1 will define a label FLAG_LABEL1Format: --labels=flag1:value1,flag2:value2 Or: --labels flag1:value1,flag2:value2
--noansibooleanDon't use ANSI output for messages
--nocleanupbooleanCleanup the output directories. This includes the workdir, scratch clones of Git repos, etc. By default is set to false and directories will be cleaned prior to the execution. If set to true, the previous run output will not be cleaned up. Keep in mind that running in this mode will lead to an ever increasing disk usage.
--nopromptbooleanDon't prompt, this will answer all prompts with 'yes'
--output-limitintLimit the output in the console to a number of records. Each subcommand might use this flag differently. Defaults to 0, which shows all the output.
--output-rootstringThe root directory where to generate output files. If not set, ~/copybara/out is used by default. Use with care, Copybara might remove files inside this root if necessary.
--patch-binstringPath for GNU Patch command
--repo-timeoutdurationRepository operation timeout duration. Example values: 30s, 20m, 1h, etc.
--squashbooleanOverride workflow's mode with 'SQUASH'. This is useful mainly for workflows that use 'ITERATIVE' mode, when we want to run a single export with 'SQUASH', maybe to fix an issue. Always use --dry-run before, to test your changes locally.
--validate-starlarkstringStarlark should be validated prior to execution, but this might break legacy configs. Options are LOOSE, STRICT
--version-selector-use-cli-refbooleanIf command line ref is to used with a version selector, pass this flag to tell copybara to use it.
-v, --verbosebooleanVerbose output.

core.action

Create a dynamic Skylark action. This should only be used by libraries developers. Actions are Starlark functions that receive a context, perform some side effect and return a result (success, error or noop).

dynamic.action core.action(impl, params={})

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
implcallable

The Skylark function to call

paramsdict

The parameters to the function. Will be available under ctx.params

core.action_migration

Defines a migration that is more flexible/less-opinionated migration than core.workflow. Most of the users should not use this migration and instead use core.workflow for moving code. In particular core.workflow provides many helping functionality like version handling, ITERATIVE/SQUASH/CHANGE_REQUEST modes, --read-config-from-change dynamic config, etc.

These are the features that action_migration provides:

  • Support for migrations that don't move source code (similar to feedback)
  • Support for migrations that talk to more than one origin/destination endpoits (Feature still in progress)
  • Custom management of versioning: For example moving non-linear/multiple versions (Instead of `core.workflow`, that moves source code in relation to the previous migrated code and is able to only track one branch).

core.action_migration(name, origin, endpoints, action, description=None, filesystem=False)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
namestring

The name of the migration.

origintrigger

The trigger endpoint of the migration. Accessible as ctx.origin

endpointsstructure

One or more endpoints that the migration will have access for read and/or write with one being named 'destination'. This is a field that should be defined as:
<br> endpoint = struct(<br> destination = foo.foo_api(...configuration...),<br> some_endpoint = baz.baz_api(...configuration...),<br> )<br>
Then they will be accessible in the action as ctx.destination and ctx.endpoints.some_endpoint

actionunknown

The action to execute when the migration is triggered.

descriptionstring or NoneType

A description of what this workflow achieves

filesystembool

If true, the migration provide access to the filesystem to the endpoints

core.autopatch_config

Describes in the configuration for automatic patch file generation

core.autopatch_config core.autopatch_config(header=None, suffix='.patch', directory_prefix='', directory='AUTOPATCHES', strip_file_names_and_line_numbers=False, strip_file_names=False, strip_line_numbers=False, paths=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
headerstring or NoneType

A string to include at the beginning of each patch file

suffixstring

Suffix to use when saving patch files

directory_prefixstring or NoneType

Directory prefix used to relativize filenames when writing patch files. E.g. if filename is third_party/foo/bar/bar.go and we want to write third_party/foo/AUTOPATCHES/bar/bar.go, the value for this field would be 'third_party/foo'

directorystring or NoneType

Directory in which to save the patch files.

strip_file_names_and_line_numbersbool

When true, strip filenames and line numbers from patch files

strip_file_namesbool

When true, strip filenames from patch files

strip_line_numbersbool

When true, strip line numbers from patch files

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

Only create patch files that match glob. Default is to match all files

core.consistency_file_config

Describes the configuration for consistency file options

core.consistency_file_config core.consistency_file_config(path="do-not-edit.bara.consistency", exclude_build_files=False)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
pathstring

The path to the consistency file. Must end with .bara.consistency.

exclude_build_filesbool

Exclude BUILD files from being hashed in consistency files.

core.convert_encoding

Change the encoding for a set of files

transformation core.convert_encoding(before, after, paths)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
beforestring

The expected encoding of the files before transformation. Charset should be in the format expected by https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/nio/charset/Charset.html

afterstring

The encoding to convert to. Same format as 'before'

pathsglob

The files to be deleted

Example:

ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8:

Convert some files from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8

core.convert_encoding(
    before = 'ISO-8859-1',
    after = 'UTF-8',
    paths = glob(["foo/*.txt"]),
)

In this example, foo/one.txt encoding will be changed from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8.

core.copy

Copy files between directories and renames files

transformation core.copy(before, after, paths=glob(["**"]), overwrite=False, regex_groups={})

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
beforestring

The name of the file or directory to copy. If this is the empty string and 'after' is a directory, then all files in the workdir will be copied to the sub directory specified by 'after', maintaining the directory tree.

afterstring

The name of the file or directory destination. If this is the empty string and 'before' is a directory, then all files in 'before' will be copied to the repo root, maintaining the directory tree inside 'before'.

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob expression relative to 'before' if it represents a directory. Only files matching the expression will be copied. For example, glob(["**.java"]), matches all java files recursively inside 'before' folder. Defaults to match all the files recursively.

overwritebool

Overwrite destination files if they already exist. Note that this makes the transformation non-reversible, since there is no way to know if the file was overwritten or not in the reverse workflow.

regex_groupsdict

A set of named regexes that can be used to match part of the file name. Copybara uses re2 syntax. For example {"x": "[A-Za-z]+"}

Examples:

Copy a directory:

Move all the files in a directory to another directory:

core.copy("foo/bar_internal", "bar")

In this example, foo/bar_internal/one will be copied to bar/one.

Copy using Regex:

Change a file extension:

core.copy(before = 'foo/${x}.txt', after = 'foo/${x}.md', regex_groups = { 'x': '.*'})

In this example, foo/bar/README.txt will be copied to foo/bar/README.md.

Copy with reversal:

Copy all static files to a 'static' folder and use remove for reverting the change

core.transform(
    [core.copy("foo", "foo/static", paths = glob(["**.css","**.html", ]))],
    reversal = [core.remove(glob(['foo/static/**.css', 'foo/static/**.html']))]
)

core.custom_version_selector

This is experimental: Custom version selector, users are able to define their own sorting comparator and filter candidates by regex. The custom version selector will choose the greatest version from the candidates that match the filter regex.

VersionSelector core.custom_version_selector(comparator, regex_filter=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
comparatorcallable

A callable comparator of two strings as a callable. The comparator should take two strings arguments named 'left' and 'right' and return -1, 0, or 1.

regex_filterstring or NoneType

Only versions that match this regex will be considered.

Example:

Create a simple custom version selector:

To define a simple custom version selector, define a callable that takes two strings and compares them.

core.custom_version_selector(
    comparator = lambda left, right: -1 if left < right else 1 if left > right else 0,
    regex_filter = r'.*'
)

core.dynamic_feedback

Create a dynamic Skylark feedback migration. This should only be used by libraries developers

dynamic.action core.dynamic_feedback(impl, params={})

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
implcallable

The Skylark function to call

paramsdict

The parameters to the function. Will be available under ctx.params

core.dynamic_transform

Create a dynamic Skylark transformation. This should only be used by libraries developers

transformation core.dynamic_transform(impl, params={})

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
implcallable

The Skylark function to call

paramsdict

The parameters to the function. Will be available under ctx.params

Examples:

Create a dynamic transformation without parameters:

To define a simple dynamic transformation, you don't even need to use core.dynamic_transform. The following transformation sets the change's message to uppercase.

def test(ctx):
  ctx.set_message(ctx.message.upper())

After defining this function, you can use test as a transformation in core.workflow.

Create a dynamic transformation with parameters:

If you want to create a library that uses dynamic transformations, you probably want to make them customizable. In order to do that, in your library.bara.sky, you need to hide the dynamic transformation (prefix with '_') and instead expose a function that creates the dynamic transformation with the param:

def _test_impl(ctx):
  ctx.set_message(ctx.message + ctx.params['name'] + str(ctx.params['number']) + '\n')

def test(name, number = 2):
  return core.dynamic_transform(impl = _test_impl,
                           params = { 'name': name, 'number': number})

After defining this function, you can use test('example', 42) as a transformation in core.workflow.

core.fail_with_noop

If invoked, it will fail the current migration as a noop

dynamic.action core.fail_with_noop(msg)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
msgstring

The noop message

core.feedback

Defines a migration of changes' metadata, that can be invoked via the Copybara command in the same way as a regular workflow migrates the change itself.

It is considered change metadata any information associated with a change (pending or submitted) that is not core to the change itself. A few examples:

  • Comments: Present in any code review system. Examples: GitHub PRs or Gerrit code reviews.
  • Labels: Used in code review systems for approvals and/or CI results. Examples: GitHub labels, Gerrit code review labels.
For the purpose of this workflow, it is not considered metadata the commit message in Git, or any of the contents of the file tree.

core.feedback(name, origin, destination, actions=[], action=None, description=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
namestring

The name of the feedback workflow.

origintrigger

The trigger of a feedback migration.

descriptionstring or NoneType

A description of what this workflow achieves

core.filter_replace

Applies an initial filtering to find a substring to be replaced and then applies a mapping of replaces for the matched text.

filter_replace core.filter_replace(regex, mapping={}, group=Whole text, paths=glob(["**"]), reverse=regex)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
regexstring

A re2 regex to match a substring of the file

mappingunknown

A mapping function like core.replace_mapper or a dict with mapping values.

groupint or NoneType

Extract a regex group from the matching text and pass this as parameter to the mapping instead of the whole matching text.

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob expression relative to the workdir representing the files to apply the transformation. For example, glob(["**.java"]), matches all java files recursively. Defaults to match all the files recursively.

reversestring or NoneType

A re2 regex used as reverse transformation

Examples:

Simple replace with mapping:

Simplest mapping

core.filter_replace(
    regex = 'a.*',
    mapping = {
        'afoo': 'abar',
        'abaz': 'abam'
    }
)
TODO replace:

This replace is similar to what it can be achieved with core.todo_replace:

core.filter_replace(
    regex = 'TODO\\((.*?)\\)',
    group = 1,
        mapping = core.replace_mapper([
            core.replace(
                before = '${p}foo${s}',
                after = '${p}fooz${s}',
                regex_groups = { 'p': '.*', 's': '.*'}
            ),
            core.replace(
                before = '${p}baz${s}',
                after = '${p}bazz${s}',
                regex_groups = { 'p': '.*', 's': '.*'}
            ),
        ],
        all = True
    )
)

core.format

Formats a String using Java's String.format.

string core.format(format, args)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
formatstring

The format string

argssequence

The arguments to format

core.latest_version

Selects the latest version that matches the format. Using --force in the CLI will force to use the reference passed as argument instead.

VersionSelector core.latest_version(format, regex_groups={})

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
formatstring

The format of the version. If using it for git, it has to use the completerefspec (e.g. 'refs/tags/n0.{n0}.{n1}.${n2}')

regex_groupsdict

A set of named regexes that can be used to match part of the versions. Copybara uses re2 syntax. Use the following nomenclature n0, n1, n2 for the version part (will use numeric sorting) or s0, s1, s2 (alphabetic sorting). Note that there can be mixed but the numbers cannot be repeated. In other words n0, s1, n2 is valid but not n0, s0, n1. n0 has more priority than n1. If there are fields where order is not important, use s(N+1) where N ist he latest sorted field. Example {"n0": "[0-9]+", "s1": "[a-z]+"}

Examples:

Version selector for Git tags:

Example of how to match tags that follow semantic versioning

core.latest_version(
    format = "refs/tags/${n0}.${n1}.${n2}",    regex_groups = {
        'n0': '[0-9]+',        'n1': '[0-9]+',        'n2': '[0-9]+',    })
Version selector for Git tags with mixed version semantics with X.Y.Z and X.Y tagging:

Edge case example: we allow a '.' literal prefix for numeric regex groups.

core.latest_version(
    format = "refs/tags/${n0}.${n1}${n2}",    regex_groups = {
        'n0': '[0-9]+',        'n1': '[0-9]+',        'n2': '(.[0-9]+)?',    })

core.merge_import_config

Describes which paths merge_import mode should be applied

core.merge_import_config core.merge_import_config(package_path, paths=None, use_consistency_file=False, merge_strategy='DIFF3')

Parameters:

use_consistency_filebool

Deprecated. Use consistency_file in core.workflow instead. When merging, if a consistency file exists, use it to construct the center of the 3-way merge. This can result in a more accurate merge in some cases, such as when the config file has changed since the last import.

merge_strategystring

The strategy to use for merging files. DIFF3 shells out to diff3 with the -m flag to perform a 3-way merge. PATCH_MERGE creates a patch file by diffing the baseline and destination files, and then applies the patch to the origin file.

core.move

Moves files between directories and renames files

transformation core.move(before, after, paths=glob(["**"]), overwrite=False, regex_groups={})

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
beforestring

The name of the file or directory before moving. If this is the empty string and 'after' is a directory, then all files in the workdir will be moved to the sub directory specified by 'after', maintaining the directory tree.

afterstring

The name of the file or directory after moving. If this is the empty string and 'before' is a directory, then all files in 'before' will be moved to the repo root, maintaining the directory tree inside 'before'.

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob expression relative to 'before' if it represents a directory. Only files matching the expression will be moved. For example, glob(["**.java"]), matches all java files recursively inside 'before' folder. Defaults to match all the files recursively.

overwritebool

Overwrite destination files if they already exist. Note that this makes the transformation non-reversible, since there is no way to know if the file was overwritten or not in the reverse workflow.

regex_groupsdict

A set of named regexes that can be used to match part of the file name. Copybara uses re2 syntax. For example {"x": "[A-Za-z]+"}

Examples:

Move a directory:

Move all the files in a directory to another directory:

core.move("foo/bar_internal", "bar")

In this example, foo/bar_internal/one will be moved to bar/one.

Move all the files to a subfolder:

Move all the files in the checkout dir into a directory called foo:

core.move("", "foo")

In this example, one and two/bar will be moved to foo/one and foo/two/bar.

Move a subfolder's content to the root:

Move the contents of a folder to the checkout root directory:

core.move("foo", "")

In this example, foo/bar would be moved to bar.

Move using Regex:

Change a file extension:

core.move(before = 'foo/${x}.txt', after = 'foo/${x}.md', regex_groups = { 'x': '.*'})

In this example, foo/bar/README.txt will be moved to foo/bar/README.md.

core.remove

Remove files from the workdir. This transformation is only meant to be used inside core.transform for reversing core.copy like transforms. For regular file filtering use origin_files exclude mechanism.

transformation core.remove(paths)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
pathsglob

The files to be deleted

Examples:

Reverse a file copy:

Move all the files in a directory to another directory:

core.transform(
    [core.copy("foo", "foo/public")],
    reversal = [core.remove(glob(["foo/public/**"]))])

In this example, foo/one will be moved to foo/public/one.

Copy with reversal:

Copy all static files to a 'static' folder and use remove for reverting the change

core.transform(
    [core.copy("foo", "foo/static", paths = glob(["**.css","**.html", ]))],
    reversal = [core.remove(glob(['foo/static/**.css', 'foo/static/**.html']))]
)

core.rename

A transformation for renaming several filenames in the working directory. This is a simplified version of core.move() for just renaming filenames without needing to use regex_groups. Note that it doesn't rename directories, only regular files.

transformation core.rename(before, after, paths=glob(["**"]), overwrite=False, suffix=False)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
beforestring

The filepath or suffix to change

afterstring

A filepath or suffix to use as replacement

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob expression relative to 'before' if it represents a directory. Only files matching the expression will be renamed. For example, glob(["**.java"]), matches all java files recursively inside 'before' folder. Defaults to match all the files recursively. Note that if reversible transformation is needed, the glob should match the filenames too in that case (or alternatively use an explicit reversal by using core.transformation().

overwritebool

Overwrite destination files if they already exist. Note that this makes the transformation non-reversible, since there is no way to know if the file was overwritten or not in the reverse workflow.

suffixbool

By default before/after match whole path segments. e.g. before = "FOO" wouldn't match example/barFOO. Sometimes only part of the path name needs to be replaced, e.g. renaming extensions. When suffix is set to true, it will match partial parts of the path string.

Examples:

Rename files:

Rename all FOO files:

core.rename("FOO", "FOO.txt")

In this example, any FOO in any directory will be renamed to FOO.txt.

Rename extension:

Rename *.md files to *.txt files:

core.rename(".md", ".txt", suffix = True)

In this example, foo/bar.md will be renamed to foo/bar.txt.

Rename files only in certain paths:

Renaming files in certain paths:

core.rename("/FOO", "/FOO.txt", paths = glob(['dir1/**', 'dir2/**']))

In this example, dir1/FOO will be renamed to dir1/FOO.txt. Note that FOO files outside dir1 and dir2 won't be renamed

core.replace

Replace a text with another text using optional regex groups. This transformation can be automatically reversed.

transformation core.replace(before, after, regex_groups={}, paths=glob(["**"]), first_only=False, multiline=False, repeated_groups=False, ignore=[])

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
beforestring

The text before the transformation. Can contain references to regex groups. For example "fooxtext".<p>โ€˜beforeโ€˜canonlycontain1referencetoeachuniqueโ€˜regexgroupโ€˜.Ifyourequiremultiplereferencestothesameโ€˜regexgroupโ€˜,addโ€˜repeatedgroups:Trueโ€˜.<p>Ifโ€ฒ{x}text".<p>`before` can only contain 1 reference to each unique `regex_group`. If you require multiple references to the same `regex_group`, add `repeated_groups: True`.<p>If '' literal character needs to be matched, '$$' should be used. For example '$$FOO' would match the literal '$FOO'. [Note this argument is a string. If you want to match a regular expression it must be encoded as a regex_group.]

afterstring

The text after the transformation. It can also contain references to regex groups, like 'before' field.

regex_groupsdict

A set of named regexes that can be used to match part of the replaced text.Copybara uses re2 syntax. For example {"x": "[A-Za-z]+"}

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob expression relative to the workdir representing the files to apply the transformation. For example, glob(["**.java"]), matches all java files recursively. Defaults to match all the files recursively.

first_onlybool

If true, only replaces the first instance rather than all. In single line mode, replaces the first instance on each line. In multiline mode, replaces the first instance in each file.

multilinebool

Whether to replace text that spans more than one line.

repeated_groupsbool

Allow to use a group multiple times. For example foorepeated/{repeated}/{repeated}. Note that this won't match "fooX/Y". This mechanism doesn't use backtracking. In other words, the group instances are treated as different groups in regex construction and then a validation is done after that.

ignoresequence

A set of regexes. If the entire content of any line (or file, if multiline is enabled) matches any expression in this set, then Copybara will not apply this transformation to any text there. Because ignore is matched against the entire line (or entire file under multiline), not just the parts that match before, the ignore regex can refer to text outside the span that would be replaced.

Examples:

Simple replacement:

Replaces the text "internal" with "external" in all java files

core.replace(
    before = "internal",
    after = "external",
    paths = glob(["**.java"]),
)
Simple replacement in a specific file:

Replaces the text "internal" with "external" in all java files

core.replace(
    before = "internal",
    after = "external",
    paths = ['foo/bar.txt'],
)
Append some text at the end of files:
core.replace(
   before = '${end}',
   after  = 'Text to be added at the end',
   multiline = True,
   regex_groups = { 'end' : '\\z'},
)
Append some text at the end of files reversible:

Same as the above example but make the transformation reversible

core.transform([
    core.replace(
       before = '${end}',
       after  = 'some append',
       multiline = True,
       regex_groups = { 'end' : r'\z'},
    )
],
reversal = [
    core.replace(
       before = 'some append${end}',
       after = '',
       multiline = True,
       regex_groups = { 'end' : r'\z'},
    )])
Replace using regex groups:

In this example we map some urls from the internal to the external version in all the files of the project.

core.replace(
        before = "https://some_internal/url/${pkg}.html",
        after = "https://example.com/${pkg}.html",
        regex_groups = {
            "pkg": ".*",
        },
    )

So a url like https://some_internal/url/foo/bar.html will be transformed to https://example.com/foo/bar.html.

Remove confidential blocks:

This example removes blocks of text/code that are confidential and thus shouldn'tbe exported to a public repository.

core.replace(
        before = "${x}",
        after = "",
        multiline = True,
        regex_groups = {
            "x": "(?m)^.*BEGIN-INTERNAL[\\w\\W]*?END-INTERNAL.*$\\n",
        },
    )

This replace would transform a text file like:

This is
public
 // BEGIN-INTERNAL
 confidential
 information
 // END-INTERNAL
more public code
 // BEGIN-INTERNAL
 more confidential
 information
 // END-INTERNAL

Into:

This is
public
more public code
Replace with ignore:

This example replaces go links that shouldn't be in a public repository with (broken link), but ignores any lines that contain bazelbuild/rules_go/, to avoid replacing file paths present in the text.

core.replace(
        before = "${x}",
        after = "(broken link)",
        regex_groups = {
            "x": "(go|goto)/[-/_#a-zA-Z0-9?]*(.md|)",
        },
        ignore = [".*bazelbuild/rules_go/.*"],
    )

This replace would transform a text file like:

public code
go/copybara ... public code
public code ... go/copybara
go/copybara ... foo/bazelbuild/rules_go/bar
foo/bazelbuild/rules_go/baz ... go/copybara

Into:

public code
(broken link) ... public code
public code ... (broken link)
go/copybara ... foo/bazelbuild/rules_go/bar
foo/bazelbuild/rules_go/baz ... go/copybara

Note that the go/copybara links on lines that matched the ignore regex were not replaced. The transformation ignored these lines entirely.

core.replace_mapper

A mapping function that applies a list of replaces until one replaces the text (Unless all = True is used). This should be used with core.filter_replace or other transformations that accept text mapping as parameter.

mapping_function core.replace_mapper(mapping, all=False)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
mappingsequence of transformation

The list of core.replace transformations

allbool

Run all the mappings despite a replace happens.

core.reverse

Given a list of transformations, returns the list of transformations equivalent to undoing all the transformations

list of transformation core.reverse(transformations)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
transformationssequence of transformation

The transformations to reverse

core.todo_replace

Replace Google style TODOs. For example TODO(username, othername).

transformation core.todo_replace(tags=['TODO', 'NOTE'], mapping={}, mode='MAP_OR_IGNORE', paths=glob(["**"]), default=None, ignore=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
tagssequence of string

Prefix tag to look for

mappingdict

Mapping of users/strings

modestring

Mode for the replace:

  • 'MAP_OR_FAIL': Try to use the mapping and if not found fail.
  • 'MAP_OR_IGNORE': Try to use the mapping but ignore if no mapping found.
  • 'MAP_OR_DEFAULT': Try to use the mapping and use the default if not found.
  • 'SCRUB_NAMES': Scrub all names from TODOs. Transforms 'TODO(foo)' to 'TODO'
  • 'USE_DEFAULT': Replace any TODO(foo, bar) with TODO(default_string)

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob expression relative to the workdir representing the files to apply the transformation. For example, glob(["**.java"]), matches all java files recursively. Defaults to match all the files recursively.

defaultstring or NoneType

Default value if mapping not found. Only valid for 'MAP_OR_DEFAULT' or 'USE_DEFAULT' modes

ignorestring or NoneType

If set, elements within TODO (with usernames) that match the regex will be ignored. For example ignore = "foo" would ignore "foo" in "TODO(foo,bar)" but not "bar".

Examples:

Simple update:

Replace TODOs and NOTES for users in the mapping:

core.todo_replace(
  mapping = {
    'test1' : 'external1',
    'test2' : 'external2'
  }
)

Would replace texts like TODO(test1) or NOTE(test1, test2) with TODO(external1) or NOTE(external1, external2)

Scrubbing:

Remove text from inside TODOs

core.todo_replace(
  mode = 'SCRUB_NAMES'
)

Would replace texts like TODO(test1): foo or NOTE(test1, test2):foo with TODO:foo and NOTE:foo

Ignoring Regex Patterns:

Ignore regEx inside TODOs when scrubbing/mapping

core.todo_replace(
  mapping = { 'aaa' : 'foo'},
  ignore = 'b/.*'
)

Would replace texts like TODO(b/123, aaa) with TODO(b/123, foo)

core.transform

Groups some transformations in a transformation that can contain a particular, manually-specified, reversal, where the forward version and reversed version of the transform are represented as lists of transforms. The is useful if a transformation does not automatically reverse, or if the automatic reversal does not work for some reason.
If reversal is not provided, the transform will try to compute the reverse of the transformations list.

transformation core.transform(transformations, reversal=The reverse of 'transformations', name=None, ignore_noop=None, noop_behavior=NOOP_IF_ANY_NOOP)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
transformationssequence of transformation

The list of transformations to run as a result of running this transformation.

reversalsequence of transformation or NoneType

The list of transformations to run as a result of running this transformation in reverse.

nameunknown

Optional string identifier to name this transform. This can be used for better output readability or with the --skip-transforms flag.

ignore_noopbool or NoneType

WARNING: Deprecated. Use noop_behavior instead.
In case a noop error happens in the group of transformations (Both forward and reverse), it will be ignored, but the rest of the transformations in the group will still be executed. If ignore_noop is not set, we will apply the closest parent's ignore_noop.

noop_behaviorstring or NoneType

How to handle no-op transformations:

  • 'IGNORE_NOOP': Any no-ops among the wrapped transformations are ignored.
  • 'NOOP_IF_ANY_NOOP': Throws an exception as soon as a single wrapped transformation is a no-op.
  • 'NOOP_IF_ALL_NOOP': Ignores no-ops from the wrapped transformations unless they all no-op, in which case an exception is thrown.

core.verify_match

Verifies that a RegEx matches (or not matches) the specified files. Does not transform anything, but will stop the workflow if it fails.

transformation core.verify_match(regex, paths=glob(["**"]), verify_no_match=False, also_on_reversal=False, failure_message=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
regexstring

The regex pattern to verify. To satisfy the validation, there has to be atleast one (or no matches if verify_no_match) match in each of the files included in paths. The re2j pattern will be applied in multiline mode, i.e. '^' refers to the beginning of a file and '$' to its end. Copybara uses re2 syntax.

pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob expression relative to the workdir representing the files to apply the transformation. For example, glob(["**.java"]), matches all java files recursively. Defaults to match all the files recursively.

verify_no_matchbool

If true, the transformation will verify that the RegEx does not match.

also_on_reversalbool

If true, the check will also apply on the reversal. The default behavior is to not verify the pattern on reversal.

failure_messageunknown

Optional string that will be included in the failure message.

core.workflow

Defines a migration pipeline which can be invoked via the Copybara command.

Implicit labels that can be used/exposed:

  • COPYBARA_CONTEXT_REFERENCE: Requested reference. For example if copybara is invoked as copybara copy.bara.sky workflow master, the value would be master.
  • COPYBARA_LAST_REV: Last reference that was migrated
  • COPYBARA_CURRENT_REV: The current reference being migrated
  • COPYBARA_CURRENT_REV_DATE_TIME: Date & time for the current reference being migrated in ISO format (Example: "2011-12-03T10:15:30+01:00")
  • COPYBARA_CURRENT_MESSAGE: The current message at this point of the transformations
  • COPYBARA_CURRENT_MESSAGE_TITLE: The current message title (first line) at this point of the transformations
  • COPYBARA_AUTHOR: The author of the change

core.workflow(name, origin, destination, authoring, transformations=[], origin_files=glob([""]), destination_files=glob([""]), mode="SQUASH", reversible_check=True for 'CHANGE_REQUEST' mode. False otherwise, check_last_rev_state=False, ask_for_confirmation=False, dry_run=False, after_migration=[], after_workflow=[], change_identity=None, set_rev_id=True, smart_prune=False, merge_import=None, autopatch_config=None, after_merge_transformations=[], migrate_noop_changes=False, experimental_custom_rev_id=None, custom_rev_id=None, description=None, checkout=True, reversible_check_ignore_files=None, consistency_file_path=None, consistency_file=None)

Parameters:

ParameterDescription
namestring

The name of the workflow.

originorigin

Where to read from the code to be migrated, before applying the transformations. This is usually a VCS like Git, but can also be a local folder or even a pending change in a code review system like Gerrit.

destinationdestination

Where to write to the code being migrated, after applying the transformations. This is usually a VCS like Git, but can also be a local folder or even a pending change in a code review system like Gerrit.

authoringauthoring_class

The author mapping configuration from origin to destination.

transformationssequence

The transformations to be run for this workflow. They will run in sequence.

origin_filesglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob or list of files relative to the workdir that will be read from the origin during the import. For example glob(["**.java"]), all java files, recursively, which excludes all other file types, or ['foo.java'] for a specific file.

destination_filesglob or list of string or NoneType

A glob relative to the root of the destination repository that matches files that are part of the migration. Files NOT matching this glob will never be removed, even if the file does not exist in the source. For example glob([''], exclude = ['/BUILD']) keeps all BUILD files in destination when the origin does not have any BUILD files. You can also use this to limit the migration to a subdirectory of the destination, e.g. glob(['java/src/'], exclude = ['/BUILD']) to only affect non-BUILD files in java/src.

modestring

Workflow mode. Currently we support four modes:

  • 'SQUASH': Create a single commit in the destination with new tree state.
  • 'ITERATIVE': Import each origin change individually.
  • 'CHANGE_REQUEST': Import a pending change to the Source-of-Truth. This could be a GH Pull Request, a Gerrit Change, etc. The final intention should be to submit the change in the SoT (destination in this case).
  • 'CHANGE_REQUEST_FROM_SOT': Import a pending change from the Source-of-Truth. This mode is useful when, despite the pending change being already in the SoT, the users want to review the code on a different system. The final intention should never be to submit in the destination, but just review or test

reversible_checkbool or NoneType

Indicates if the tool should try to to reverse all the transformations at the end to check that they are reversible.
The default value is True for 'CHANGE_REQUEST' mode. False otherwise

check_last_rev_statebool

If set to true, Copybara will validate that the destination didn't change since last-rev import for destination_files. Note that this flag doesn't work for CHANGE_REQUEST mode.

ask_for_confirmationbool

Indicates that the tool should show the diff and require user's confirmation before making a change in the destination.

dry_runbool

Run the migration in dry-run mode. Some destination implementations might have some side effects (like creating a code review), but never submit to a main branch.

after_migrationsequence

Run a feedback workflow after one migration happens. This runs once per change in ITERATIVE mode and only once for SQUASH.

after_workflowsequence

Run a feedback workflow after all the changes for this workflow run are migrated. Prefer after_migration as it is executed per change (in ITERATIVE mode). Tasks in this hook shouldn't be critical to execute. These actions shouldn't record effects (They'll be ignored).

change_identitystring or NoneType

By default, Copybara hashes several fields so that each change has an unique identifier that at the same time reuses the generated destination change. This allows to customize the identity hash generation so that the same identity is used in several workflows. At least copybaraconfigpathhastobepresent.Currentuserisaddedtothehashautomatically.<br><br>Availablevariables:<ul><li>{copybara_config_path} has to be present. Current user is added to the hash automatically.<br><br>Available variables:<ul> <li>{copybara_config_path}: Main config file path

  • copybaraworkflowname:Thenameoftheworkflowbeingrun</li><li>{copybara_workflow_name}: The name of the workflow being run</li> <li>{copybara_reference}: The requested reference. In general Copybara tries its best to give a repetable reference. For example Gerrit change number or change-id or GitHub Pull Request number. If it cannot find a context reference it uses the resolved revision.
  • ${label:label_name}: A label present for the current change. Exposed in the message or not.
  • If any of the labels cannot be found it defaults to the default identity (The effect would be no reuse of destination change between workflows)

    set_rev_idbool

    Copybara adds labels like 'GitOrigin-RevId' in the destination in order to track what was the latest change imported. For CHANGE_REQUEST workflows it is not used and is purely informational. This field allows to disable it for that mode. Destinations might ignore the flag.

    smart_prunebool

    By default CHANGE_REQUEST workflows cannot restore scrubbed files. This flag does a best-effort approach in restoring the non-affected snippets. For now we only revert the non-affected files. This only works for CHANGE_REQUEST mode.

    merge_importbool or core.merge_import_config or NoneType

    A migration mode that shells out to a diffing tool (default is diff3) to merge all files. The inputs to the diffing tool are (1) origin file (2) baseline file (3) destination file. This can be used to perpetuate destination-only changes in non source of truth repositories.

    autopatch_configcore.autopatch_config or NoneType

    Configuration that describes the setting for automatic patch file generation

    after_merge_transformationssequence

    Perform these transformations after merge_import, but before Copybara writes to the destination. Ex: any BUILD file generations that rely on the results of merge_import

    migrate_noop_changesbool

    By default, Copybara tries to only migrate changes that affect origin_files or config files. This flag allows to include all the changes. Note that it might generate more empty changes errors. In ITERATIVE mode it might fail if some transformation is validating the message (Like has to contain 'PUBLIC' and the change doesn't contain it because it is internal).

    experimental_custom_rev_idstring or NoneType

    DEPRECATED(Remove by 2024/01/01: Use . Use this label name instead of the one provided by the origin.

    custom_rev_idstring or NoneType

    If the destination uses labels to mark the last change migrated, use this label name instead of the one provided by the origin. This allows to to have two migrations to the same destination without the other migration changes interfering this migration. I can also serve to clearly state where the change is coming from.

    descriptionstring or NoneType

    A description of what this workflow achieves

    checkoutbool

    Allows disabling the checkout. The usage of this feature is rare. This could be used to update a file of your own repo when a dependant repo version changes and you are not interested on the files of the dependant repo, just the new version.

    reversible_check_ignore_filesglob or list of string or NoneType

    Ignore the files matching the glob in the reversible check

    consistency_file_pathstring or NoneType

    Under development. Must end with .bara.consistency

    consistency_filebool or core.consistency_file_config or NoneType

    Consistency file configuration. Can be a boolean or a consistency_file_config object. If set to True, consistency file path defaults to "do-not-edit.bara.consistency".

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --baseline-for-merge-importstringOrigin baseline to use for merge import. This overrides any inferred origin baseline
    --change-request-from-sot-limitintNumber of origin baseline changes to use for trying to match one in the destination. It can be used if the are many parent changes in the origin that are a no-op in the destination
    --change-request-from-sot-retrylistNumber of retries and delay between retries when we cannot find the baseline in the destination for CHANGE_REQUEST_FROM_SOT. For example '10,30,60' will retry three times. The first retry will be delayed 10s, the second one 30s and the third one 60s
    --change-request-parent, --change_request_parentstringCommit revision to be used as parent when importing a commit using CHANGE_REQUEST workflow mode. This shouldn't be needed in general as Copybara is able to detect the parent commit message.
    --check-last-rev-statebooleanIf enabled, Copybara will validate that the destination didn't change since last-rev import for destination_files. Note that this flag doesn't work for CHANGE_REQUEST mode.
    --default-authorstringUse this author as default instead of the one in the config file.Format should be 'Foo Bar foobar@example.com'
    --diff-in-originbooleanWhen this flag is enabled, copybara will show different changes between last Revision and current revision in origin instead of in destination. NOTE: it Only works for SQUASH and ITERATIVE
    --disable-consistency-merge-importbooleanIf merge import is set to use consistency in the config, disable it for this run. This uses an import baseline instead. A new consistency file will still be generated.
    --force-authorauthorForce the author to this. Note that this only changes the author before the transformations happen, you can still use the transformations to alter it.
    --force-messagestringForce the change description to this. Note that this only changes the message before the transformations happen, you can still use the transformations to alter it.
    --ignore-noopbooleanOnly warn about operations/transforms that didn't have any effect. For example: A transform that didn't modify any file, non-existent origin directories, etc.
    --import-noop-changesbooleanBy default Copybara will only try to migrate changes that could affect the destination. Ignoring changes that only affect excluded files in origin_files. This flag disables that behavior and runs for all the changes.
    --info-include-versionsbooleanInclude upstream versions in the info command output.
    --init-historybooleanImport all the changes from the beginning of the history up to the resolved ref. For 'ITERATIVE' workflows this will import individual changes since the first one. For 'SQUASH' it will import the squashed change up to the resolved ref. WARNING: Use with care, this flag should be used only for the very first run of Copybara for a workflow.
    --iterative-limit-changesintImport just a number of changes instead of all the pending ones
    --last-revstringLast revision that was migrated to the destination
    --nosmart-prunebooleanDisable smart prunning
    --notransformation-joinbooleanBy default Copybara tries to join certain transformations in one so that it is more efficient. This disables the feature.
    --read-config-from-changebooleanFor each imported origin change, load the workflow's origin_files, destination_files and transformations from the config version of that change. The rest of the fields (more importantly, origin and destination) cannot change and the version from the first config will be used.
    --read-config-from-change-disableboolean--read-config-from-change is a arity 0 flag, this flag overrides it to override it being enabled.
    --same-versionbooleanRe-import the last version imported. This is useful for example to check that a refactor in a copy.bara.sky file doesn't introduce accidental changes.
    --skip-transformslistList of transform names that should be skipped.
    --squash-skip-historybooleanAvoid exposing the history of changes that are being migrated. This is useful when we want to migrate a new repository but we don't want to expose all the change history to metadata.squash_notes.
    --threadsintNumber of threads to use when running transformations that change lot of files
    --threads-for-merge-importintNumber of threads to use for executing the diff tool for the merge import mode.
    --threads-min-sizeintMinimum size of the lists to process to run them in parallel
    --to-folderbooleanSometimes a user wants to test what the outcome would be for a workflow without changing the configuration or adding an auxiliary testing workflow. This flag allows to change an existing workflow to use folder.destination
    --workflow-identity-userstringUse a custom string as a user for computing change identity

    dict

    dict is a built-in type representing an associative mapping or dictionary. A dictionary supports indexing using d[k] and key membership testing using k in d; both operations take constant time. Unfrozen dictionaries are mutable, and may be updated by assigning to d[k] or by calling certain methods. Dictionaries are iterable; iteration yields the sequence of keys in insertion order. Iteration order is unaffected by updating the value associated with an existing key, but is affected by removing then reinserting a key.

    d = {0: "x", 2: "z", 1: "y"}
    [k for k in d]  # [0, 2, 1]
    d.pop(2)
    d[0], d[2] = "a", "b"
    0 in d, "a" in d  # (True, False)
    [(k, v) for k, v in d.items()]  # [(0, "a"), (1, "y"), (2, "b")]
    

    There are four ways to construct a dictionary:

    1. A dictionary expression {k: v, ...} yields a new dictionary with the specified key/value entries, inserted in the order they appear in the expression. Evaluation fails if any two key expressions yield the same value.
    2. A dictionary comprehension {k: v for vars in seq} yields a new dictionary into which each key/value pair is inserted in loop iteration order. Duplicates are permitted: the first insertion of a given key determines its position in the sequence, and the last determines its associated value.
      {k: v for k, v in (("a", 0), ("b", 1), ("a", 2))}  # {"a": 2, "b": 1}
      {i: 2*i for i in range(3)}  # {0: 0, 1: 2, 2: 4}
      
    3. A call to the built-in dict function returns a dictionary containing the specified entries, which are inserted in argument order, positional arguments before named. As with comprehensions, duplicate keys are permitted.
    4. The union expression x | y yields a new dictionary by combining two existing dictionaries. If the two dictionaries have a key k in common, the right hand side dictionary's value of the key (in other words, y[k]) wins. The |= variant of the union operator modifies a dictionary in-place. Example:
      d = {"foo": "FOO", "bar": "BAR"} | {"foo": "FOO2", "baz": "BAZ"}
      # d == {"foo": "FOO2", "bar": "BAR", "baz": "BAZ"}
      d = {"a": 1, "b": 2}
      d |= {"b": 3, "c": 4}
      # d == {"a": 1, "b": 3, "c": 4}

    dict.clear

    Remove all items from the dictionary.

    dict.clear()

    dict.get

    Returns the value for key if key is in the dictionary, else default. If default is not given, it defaults to None, so that this method never throws an error.

    unknown dict.get(key, default=None)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    keyunknown

    The key to look for.

    defaultunknown

    The default value to use (instead of None) if the key is not found.

    dict.items

    Returns the list of key-value tuples:

    {2: "a", 4: "b", 1: "c"}.items() == [(2, "a"), (4, "b"), (1, "c")]

    sequence dict.items()

    dict.keys

    Returns the list of keys:

    {2: "a", 4: "b", 1: "c"}.keys() == [2, 4, 1]

    sequence dict.keys()

    dict.pop

    Removes a key from the dict, and returns the associated value. If no entry with that key was found, remove nothing and return the specified default value; if no default value was specified, fail instead.

    unknown dict.pop(key, default=unbound)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    keyunknown

    The key.

    defaultunknown

    a default value if the key is absent.

    dict.popitem

    Remove and return the first (key, value) pair from the dictionary. popitem is useful to destructively iterate over a dictionary, as often used in set algorithms. If the dictionary is empty, the popitem call fails.

    tuple dict.popitem()

    dict.setdefault

    If key is in the dictionary, return its value. If not, insert key with a value of default and return default. default defaults to None.

    ? dict.setdefault(key, default=None)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    key?

    The key.

    default?

    a default value if the key is absent.

    dict.update

    Updates the dictionary first with the optional positional argument, pairs, then with the optional keyword arguments If the positional argument is present, it must be a dict, iterable, or None. If it is a dict, then its key/value pairs are inserted into this dict. If it is an iterable, it must provide a sequence of pairs (or other iterables of length 2), each of which is treated as a key/value pair to be inserted. Each keyword argument name=value causes the name/value pair to be inserted into this dict.

    dict.update(pairs=[], kwargs)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    pairsunknown

    Either a dictionary or a list of entries. Entries must be tuples or lists with exactly two elements: key, value.

    kwargsdict

    Dictionary of additional entries.

    dict.values

    Returns the list of values:

    {2: "a", 4: "b", 1: "c"}.values() == ["a", "b", "c"]

    folder

    Module for dealing with local filesystem folders

    folder.destination

    A folder destination is a destination that puts the output in a folder. It can be used both for testing or real production migrations.Given that folder destination does not support a lot of the features of real VCS, there are some limitations on how to use it:

    • It requires passing a ref as an argument, as there is no way of calculating previous migrated changes. Alternatively, --last-rev can be used, which could migrate N changes.
    • Most likely, the workflow should use 'SQUASH' mode, as history is not supported.
    • If 'ITERATIVE' mode is used, a new temp directory will be created for each change migrated.

    destination folder.destination()

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --folder-dirstringLocal directory to write the output of the migration to. If the directory exists, all files will be deleted. By default Copybara will generate a temporary directory, so you shouldn't need this.

    folder.origin

    A folder origin is a origin that uses a folder as input. The folder is specified via the source_ref argument.

    origin folder.origin(materialize_outside_symlinks=False)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    materialize_outside_symlinksbool

    By default folder.origin will refuse any symlink in the migration folder that is an absolute symlink or that refers to a file outside of the folder. If this flag is set, it will materialize those symlinks as regular files in the checkout directory.

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --folder-origin-authorstringDeprecated. Please use '--force-author'. Author of the change being migrated from folder.origin()
    --folder-origin-ignore-invalid-symlinksbooleanIf an invalid symlink is found, ignore it instead of failing
    --folder-origin-messagestringDeprecated. Please use '--force-message'. Message of the change being migrated from folder.origin()
    --folder-origin-versionstringThe version string associated with the change migrated from folder.origin(). If not specified, the default will be the folder path.

    format

    Module for formatting the code to Google's style/guidelines

    format.buildifier

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    pathsglob or list of string or NoneType

    Paths of the files to format relative to the workdir.

    typestring or NoneType

    The type of the files. Can be 'auto', 'bzl', 'build' or 'workspace'. Note that this is not recommended to be set and might break in the future. The default is 'auto'. This mode formats as BUILD files "BUILD", "BUILD.bazel", "WORKSPACE" and "WORKSPACE.bazel" files. The rest as bzl files. Prefer to use those names for BUILD files instead of setting this flag.

    lintstring or NoneType

    If buildifier --lint should be used. This fixes several common issues. Note that this transformation is difficult to revert. For example if it removes a load statement because is not used after removing a rule, then the reverse workflow needs to add back the load statement (core.replace or similar). Possible values: OFF, FIX. Default is OFF

    lint_warningssequence of string

    Warnings used in the lint mode. Default is buildifier default

    Examples:

    Default usage:

    The default parameters formats all BUILD and bzl files in the checkout directory:

    format.buildifier()
    
    Enable lint:

    Enable lint for buildifier

    format.buildifier(lint = "FIX")
    
    Using globs:

    Globs can be used to match only certain files:

    format.buildifier(
        paths = glob(["foo/BUILD", "foo/**/BUILD"], exclude = ["foo/bar/BUILD"])
    )
    

    Formats all the BUILD files inside foo except for foo/bar/BUILD

    git

    Set of functions to define Git origins and destinations.

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --allowed-git-push-optionslistThis is a flag used to allowlist push options sent to git servers. E.g. copybara copy.bara.sky --git-push-option="foo,bar" would make copybara validate push so that the only push options (if there are any) used are 'foo' and 'bar'. If this flag is unset, it will skip push options validation. Set to "" to allow no push options.
    --experiment-checkout-affected-filesbooleanIf set, copybara will only checkout affected files at git origin. Note that this is experimental.
    --git-credential-helper-store-filestringCredentials store file to be used. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store
    --git-http-follow-redirectsstringWhether git should follow HTTP redirects. For a list of valid options, please see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-httpfollowRedirects
    --git-ls-remote-limitintegerLimit the number of ls-remote rows is visible to Copybara.
    --git-no-verifybooleanPass the '--no-verify' option to git pushes and commits to disable git commit hooks.
    --git-origin-fetch-depthintegerUse a shallow clone of the specified depth for git.origin. If set, only the n most recent changes' tree states are imported with older changes omitted.
    --git-push-optionlistThis is a repeatable flag used to set git push level flags to send to git servers. E.g. copybara copy.bara.sky --git-push-option foo --git-push-option bar would make git operations done by copybara under the hood use the --push-option flags: git push -push-option=foo -push-option=bar ...
    --git-tag-overwritebooleanIf set, copybara will force update existing git tag
    --nogit-credential-helper-storebooleanDisable using credentials store. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store
    --nogit-promptbooleanDisable username/password prompt and fail if no credentials are found. This flag sets the environment variable GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT which is intended for automated jobs running Git https://git-scm.com/docs/git/2.3.0#git-emGITTERMINALPROMPTem

    git.destination

    Creates a commit in a git repository using the transformed worktree.

    For GitHub use git.github_destination. For creating Pull Requests in GitHub, use git.github_pr_destination. For creating a Gerrit change use git.gerrit_destination.

    Given that Copybara doesn't ask for user/password in the console when doing the push to remote repos, you have to use ssh protocol, have the credentials cached or use a credential manager.

    destination git.destination(url, push='master', tag_name=None, tag_msg=None, fetch=None, partial_fetch=False, integrates=None, primary_branch_migration=False, checker=None, credentials=None)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    urlstring

    Indicates the URL to push to as well as the URL from which to get the parent commit

    pushstring

    Reference to use for pushing the change, for example 'main'.

    tag_namestring or NoneType

    A template string that refers to a tag name. If tag_name exists, overwrite this tag only if flag git-tag-overwrite is set. Note that tag creation is best-effort and migration will succeed even if the tag cannot be created. Usage: Users can use a string or a string with a label. For instance ${label}_tag_name. And the value of label must be in changes' label list. Otherwise, tag won't be created.

    tag_msgstring or NoneType

    A template string that refers to the commit msg of a tag. If set, we will create an annotated tag when tag_name is set. Usage: Users can use a string or a string with a label. For instance ${label}_message. And the value of label must be in changes' label list. Otherwise, tag will be created with sha1's commit msg.

    fetchstring or NoneType

    Indicates the ref from which to get the parent commit. Defaults to push value if None

    partial_fetchbool

    This is an experimental feature that only works for certain origin globs.

    integratessequence of git_integrate or NoneType

    Integrate changes from a url present in the migrated change label. Defaults to a semi-fake merge if COPYBARA_INTEGRATE_REVIEW label is present in the message

    primary_branch_migrationbool

    When enabled, copybara will ignore the 'push' and 'fetch' params if either is 'master' or 'main' and instead try to establish the default git branch. If this fails, it will fall back to the param's declared value.
    This is intended to help migrating to the new standard of using 'main' without breaking users relying on the legacy default.

    checkerchecker or NoneType

    A checker that can check leaks or other checks in the commit created.

    credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --git-committer-emailstringIf set, overrides the committer e-mail for the generated commits in git destination.
    --git-committer-namestringIf set, overrides the committer name for the generated commits in git destination.
    --git-destination-fetchstringIf set, overrides the git destination fetch reference.
    --git-destination-fetch-depthintegerUse a shallow clone of the specified depth for git.destination
    --git-destination-ignore-integration-errorsbooleanIf an integration error occurs, ignore it and continue without the integrate
    --git-destination-last-rev-first-parentbooleanUse git --first-parent flag when looking for last-rev in previous commits
    --git-destination-non-fast-forwardbooleanAllow non-fast-forward pushes to the destination. We only allow this when used with different push != fetch references.
    --git-destination-pathstringIf set, the tool will use this directory for the local repository. Note that if the directory exists it needs to be a git repository. Copybara will revert any staged/unstaged changes. For example, you can override destination url with a local non-bare repo (or existing empty folder) with this flag.
    --git-destination-pushstringIf set, overrides the git destination push reference.
    --git-destination-urlstringIf set, overrides the git destination URL.
    --git-skip-checkerbooleanIf true and git.destination has a configured checker, it will not be used in the migration.
    --nogit-destination-rebasebooleanDon't rebase the change automatically for workflows CHANGE_REQUEST mode

    --gerrit-topicstringGerrit topic to use

    git.gerrit_destination

    Creates a change in Gerrit using the transformed worktree. If this is used in iterative mode, then each commit pushed in a single Copybara invocation will have the correct commit parent. The reviews generated can then be easily done in the correct order without rebasing.

    destination git.gerrit_destination(url, fetch, push_to_refs_for=fetch value, submit=False, partial_fetch=False, notify=None, change_id_policy='FAIL_IF_PRESENT', allow_empty_diff_patchset=True, reviewers=[], cc=[], labels=[], api_checker=None, integrates=None, topic=None, gerrit_submit=False, primary_branch_migration=False, checker=None, credentials=None)

    • 'REPLACE': Replace with a new one if found

    allow_empty_diff_patchsetbool

    By default Copybara will upload a new PatchSet to Gerrit without checking the previous one. If this set to false, Copybara will download current PatchSet and check the diff against the new diff.

    reviewerssequence

    The list of the reviewers to add. Each element in the list is: an email (e.g. "foo@example.com" or label (e.g. "${SOME_GERRIT_REVIEWER}). These assume that users have already registered on the Gerrit host and has access to the repos.

    topicstring or NoneType

    Sets the topic of the Gerrit change created.

    By default it sets no topic. This field accepts a template with labels. For example: "topic_${CONTEXT_REFERENCE}"

    gerrit_submitbool

    By default, Copybara uses git commit/push to the main branch when submit = True. If this flag is enabled, it will update the Gerrit change with the latest commit and submit using Gerrit.

    primary_branch_migrationbool

    When enabled, copybara will ignore the 'push_to_refs_for' and 'fetch' params if either is 'master' or 'main' and instead try to establish the default git branch. If this fails, it will fall back to the param's declared value.

    --git-origin-log-batchintRead the origin git log in batches of n commits. Might be needed for large migrations resulting in git logs of more than 1 GB.
    --git-origin-non-linear-historybooleanRead the full git log and skip changes before the from ref rather than using a log path.
    --git-origin-rebase-refstringWhen importing a change from a Git origin ref, it will be rebased to this ref, if set. A common use case: importing a Github PR, rebase it to the main branch (usually 'master'). Note that, if the repo uses submodules, they won't be rebased.
    --nogit-origin-version-selectorbooleanDisable the version selector for the migration. Only useful for forcing a migration to the passed version in the CLI

    ParameterDescription
    urlstring

    Indicates the GitHub repo URL.

    checkerchecker or NoneType

    A checker for the GitHub API transport.

    credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --allstar-app-idslistFlag used to set AllStar GitHub app id aliases. See https://github.com/ossf/allstar.

    --gql-commit-history-overridelistFlag used to target GraphQL params 'first' arguments in the event the defaults are over or underusing the api ratelimit. The flag value should be semicolon separated. This should be rarely used for repos that don't fit well in our defaults. E.g. '50;5;5' represent 50 commits, 5 PRs for each commit, 5 reviews per PR

    git.github_destination

    Creates a commit in a GitHub repository branch (for example master). For creating Pull Request use git.github_pr_destination.

    destination git.github_destination(url, push='master', fetch=None, pr_branch_to_update=None, partial_fetch=False, delete_pr_branch=False, integrates=None, api_checker=None, primary_branch_migration=False, tag_name=None, tag_msg=None, checker=None, credentials=None, push_to_fork=False, github_host_name='github.com')

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    urlstring

    Indicates the URL to push to as well as the URL from which to get the parent commit

    pushstring

    Reference to use for pushing the change, for example 'main'.

    fetchstring or NoneType

    Indicates the ref from which to get the parent commit. Defaults to push value if None

    pr_branch_to_updatestring or NoneType

    A template string that refers to a pull request branch in the same repository will be updated to current commit of this push branch only if pr_branch_to_update exists. The reason behind this field is that presubmiting changes creates and leaves a pull request open. By using this, we can automerge/close this type of pull requests. As a result, users will see this pr_branch_to_update as merged to this push branch. Usage: Users can use a string or a string with a label. For instance ${label}_pr_branch_name. And the value of label must be in changes' label list. Otherwise, nothing will happen.

    partial_fetchbool

    This is an experimental feature that only works for certain origin globs.

    delete_pr_branchbool or NoneType

    When pr_branch_to_update is enabled, it will delete the branch reference after the push to the branch and main branch (i.e master) happens. This allows to cleanup temporary branches created for testing.

    integratessequence of git_integrate or NoneType

    Integrate changes from a url present in the migrated change label. Defaults to a semi-fake merge if COPYBARA_INTEGRATE_REVIEW label is present in the message

    api_checkerchecker or NoneType

    A checker for the Gerrit API endpoint provided for after_migration hooks. This field is not required if the workflow hooks don't use the origin/destination endpoints.

    primary_branch_migrationbool

    When enabled, copybara will ignore the 'push' and 'fetch' params if either is 'master' or 'main' and instead try to establish the default git branch. If this fails, it will fall back to the param's declared value.
    This is intended to help migrating to the new standard of using 'main' without breaking users relying on the legacy default.

    tag_namestring or NoneType

    A template string that specifies to a tag name. If the tag already exists, copybara will only overwrite it if the --git-tag-overwrite flag is set.
    Note that tag creation is best-effort and the migration will succeed even if the tag cannot be created. Usage: Users can use a string or a string with a label. For instance ${label}_tag_name. And the value of label must be in changes' label list. Otherwise, tag won't be created.

    tag_msgstring or NoneType

    A template string that refers to the commit msg for a tag. If set, copybara will create an annotated tag with this custom message
    Usage: Labels in the string will be resolved. E.g. .${label}_message.By default, the tag will be created with the labeled commit's message.

    checkerchecker or NoneType

    A checker that validates the commit files & message. If api_checker is not set, it will also be used for checking API calls. If only api_checkeris used, that checker will only apply to API calls.

    credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    --git-destination-non-fast-forwardbooleanAllow non-fast-forward pushes to the destination. We only allow this when used with different push != fetch references.
    --git-destination-pathstringIf set, the tool will use this directory for the local repository. Note that if the directory exists it needs to be a git repository. Copybara will revert any staged/unstaged changes. For example, you can override destination url with a local non-bare repo (or existing empty folder) with this flag.
    --git-destination-pushstringIf set, overrides the git destination push reference.
    --git-destination-urlstringIf set, overrides the git destination URL.
    --git-skip-checkerbooleanIf true and git.destination has a configured checker, it will not be used in the migration.

    - GIT_DESCRIBE_CHANGE_VERSION: The version for the change or changes being migrated. The value changes per change in ITERATIVE mode and will be the latest migrated change in SQUASH (In other words, doesn't include excluded changes). this is normally what users want to use.
    - GIT_DESCRIBE_REQUESTED_VERSION: git describe for the requested/head version. Constant in ITERATIVE mode and includes filtered changes.
    -GIT_DESCRIBE_FIRST_PARENT: git describe for the first parent version.
    -GIT_SEQUENTIAL_REVISION_NUMBER: The sequential number of the commit. Falls back to the SHA1 if not applicable.

    version_selectorVersionSelector or NoneType

    Select a custom version (tag)to migrate instead of 'ref'. Version selector is expected to match the whole refspec (e.g. 'refs/heads/${n1}')

    Customize the pull request branch. The token ${CONTEXT_REFERENCE} will be replaced with the corresponding stable reference (head, PR number, Gerrit change number, etc.).

    partial_fetchbool

    This is an experimental feature that only works for certain origin globs.

    allow_empty_diffbool

    By default, copybara migrates changes without checking existing PRs. If set, copybara will skip pushing a change to an existing PR only if the git three of the pending migrating change is the same as the existing PR.

    allow_empty_diff_merge_statusessequence of string

    EXPERIMENTAL feature. By default, if allow_empty_diff = False is set, Copybara skips uploading the change if the tree hasn't changed and it can be merged. When this list is set with values from https://docs.github.com/en/github-ae@latest/graphql/reference/enums#mergestatestatus, it will still upload for the configured statuses. For example, if a user sets it to ['DIRTY', 'UNSTABLE', 'UNKNOWN'] (the recommended set to use), it wouldn't skip upload if test failed in GitHub for previous export, or if the change cannot be merged. Note that this field is experimental and is subject to change by GitHub without notice. Please consult Copybara team before using this field.

    allow_empty_diff_check_suites_to_conclusiondict of string

    EXPERIMENTAL feature. By default, if allow_empty_diff = False is set, Copybara skips uploading the change if the tree hasn't changed and it can be merged.

    This field allows to configure Check suit slugs and conclusions for those check suites where an upload needs to happen despite no code changes. For example this can be used to upload if tests are failing. A Very common usage would be {"github-actions" : ["none", "failure", "timed_out", "cancelled"]}: This would upload changes when Checks are in progress, has failed, timeout or being cancelled. github-actions check suit slug name is the default name for checks run by GitHub actions where the suit is not given a name.

    titlestring or NoneType

    When creating (or updating if update_description is set) a pull request, use this title. By default it uses the change first line. This field accepts a template with labels. For example: "Change ${CONTEXT_REFERENCE}"

    bodystring or NoneType

    When creating (or updating if update_description is set) a pull request, use this body. By default it uses the change summary. This field accepts a template with labels. For example: "Change ${CONTEXT_REFERENCE}"

    assigneessequence of string

    The assignees to set when creating a new pull request. The maximum number of assignees is 10 and the assignees must be GitHub usernames or a label that can be resolved to a GitHub username. For example: assignees = ["github-repo-owner1", "${YOUR_LABEL}"]

    api_checkerchecker or NoneType

    A checker for the GitHub API endpoint provided for after_migration hooks. This field is not required if the workflow hooks don't use the origin/destination endpoints.

    update_descriptionbool

    By default, Copybara only set the title and body of the PR when creating the PR. If this field is set to true, it will update those fields for every update.

    primary_branch_migrationbool

    When enabled, copybara will ignore the 'desination_ref' param if it is 'master' or 'main' and instead try to establish the default git branch. If this fails, it will fall back to the param's declared value.
    This is intended to help migrating to the new standard of using 'main' without breaking users relying on the legacy default.

    checkerchecker or NoneType

    A checker that validates the commit files & message. If api_checker is not set, it will also be used for checking API calls. If only api_checkeris used, that checker will only apply to API calls.

    draftbool

    Flag create pull request as draft or not.

    credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    github_host_namestring

    EXPERIMENTAL feature The GitHub host name to use for the migration.

    credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    github_host_namestring

    EXPERIMENTAL feature. The host name of the GitHub repository, used to construct the URL. Required for GitHub Enterprise.

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --allstar-app-idslistFlag used to set AllStar GitHub app id aliases. See https://github.com/ossf/allstar.
    --git-fuzzy-last-revbooleanBy default Copybara will try to migrate the revision listed as the version in the metadata file from github. This flag tells Copybara to first find the git tag which most closely matches the metadata version, and use that for the migration.

    --github-use-repostringUse a different git repository instead
    --gql-commit-history-overridelistFlag used to target GraphQL params 'first' arguments in the event the defaults are over or underusing the api ratelimit. The flag value should be semicolon separated. This should be rarely used for repos that don't fit well in our defaults. E.g. '50;5;5' represent 50 commits, 5 PRs for each commit, 5 reviews per PR
    --nogit-origin-version-selectorbooleanDisable the version selector for the migration. Only useful for forcing a migration to the passed version in the CLI

    git.integrate

    Integrate changes from a url present in the migrated change label.

    git_integrate git.integrate(label="COPYBARA_INTEGRATE_REVIEW", strategy="FAKE_MERGE_AND_INCLUDE_FILES", ignore_errors=True)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    labelstring

    The migration label that will contain the url to the change to integrate.

    strategystring

    How to integrate the change:

    • 'FAKE_MERGE': Add the url revision/reference as parent of the migration change but ignore all the files from the url. The commit message will be a standard merge one but will include the corresponding RevId label
    • 'FAKE_MERGE_AND_INCLUDE_FILES': Same as 'FAKE_MERGE' but any change to files that doesn't match destination_files will be included as part of the merge commit. So it will be a semi fake merge: Fake for destination_files but merge for non destination files.
    • 'INCLUDE_FILES': Same as 'FAKE_MERGE_AND_INCLUDE_FILES' but it it doesn't create a merge but only include changes not matching destination_files

    ignore_errorsbool

    If we should ignore integrate errors and continue the migration without the integrate

    Example:

    Integrate changes from a review url:

    Assuming we have a git.destination defined like this:

    git.destination(
            url = "https://example.com/some_git_repo",
            integrates = [git.integrate()],
    
    )
    

    It will look for COPYBARA_INTEGRATE_REVIEW label during the worklow migration. If the label is found, it will fetch the git url and add that change as an additional parent to the migration commit (merge). It will fake-merge any change from the url that matches destination_files but it will include changes not matching it.

    git.latest_version

    DEPRECATED: Use core.latest_version.

    Customize what version of the available branches and tags to pick. By default it ignores the reference passed as parameter. Using --force in the CLI will force to use the reference passed as argument instead.

    VersionSelector git.latest_version(refspec_format="refs/tags/n0.{n0}.{n1}.${n2}", refspec_groups={'n0' : '[0-9]+', 'n1' : '[0-9]+', 'n2' : '[0-9]+'})

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    refspec_formatstring

    The format of the branch/tag

    refspec_groupsdict

    A set of named regexes that can be used to match part of the versions. Copybara uses re2 syntax. Use the following nomenclature n0, n1, n2 for the version part (will use numeric sorting) or s0, s1, s2 (alphabetic sorting). Note that there can be mixed but the numbers cannot be repeated. In other words n0, s1, n2 is valid but not n0, s0, n1. n0 has more priority than n1. If there are fields where order is not important, use s(N+1) where N ist he latest sorted field. Example {"n0": "[0-9]+", "s1": "[a-z]+"}

    git.mirror

    Mirror git references between repositories

    git.mirror(name, origin, destination, refspecs=['refs/heads/*'], prune=False, partial_fetch=False, description=None, action=None, origin_checker=None, destination_checker=None, origin_credentials=None, destination_credentials=None)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    namestring

    Migration name

    originstring

    Indicates the URL of the origin git repository

    destinationstring

    Indicates the URL of the destination git repository

    refspecssequence of string

    Represents a list of git refspecs to mirror between origin and destination. For example 'refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/' will mirror any reference inside refs/heads to refs/remotes/origin.

    prunebool

    Remove remote refs that don't have a origin counterpart. Prune is ignored if actions are used (Action is in charge of doing the pruning)

    partial_fetchbool

    This is an experimental feature that only works for certain origin globs.

    descriptionstring or NoneType

    A description of what this migration achieves

    actionunknown

    An action to execute when the migration is triggered. Actions can fetch, push, rebase, merge, etc. Only fetches/pushes for the declared refspec are allowed.

    origin_checkerchecker or NoneType

    Checker for applicable gerrit or github apis that can be inferred from the origin url. You can omit this if there no intention to use aforementioned APIs.

    destination_checkerchecker or NoneType

    Checker for applicable gerrit or github apis that can be inferred from the destination url. You can omit this if there no intention to use aforementioned APIs.

    origin_credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    destination_credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    git.origin

    Defines a standard Git origin. For Git specific origins use: github_origin or gerrit_origin.

    All the origins in this module accept several string formats as reference (When copybara is called in the form of copybara config workflow reference):

    • Branch name: For example master
    • An arbitrary reference: refs/changes/20/50820/1
    • A SHA-1: Note that it has to be reachable from the default refspec
    • A Git repository URL and reference: http://github.com/foo master
    • A GitHub pull request URL: https://github.com/some_project/pull/1784

    So for example, Copybara can be invoked for a git.origin in the CLI as:
    copybara copy.bara.sky my_workflow https://github.com/some_project/pull/1784
    This will use the pull request as the origin URL and reference.

    origin git.origin(url, ref=None, submodules='NO', excluded_submodules=[], include_branch_commit_logs=False, first_parent=True, partial_fetch=False, patch=None, describe_version=None, version_selector=None, primary_branch_migration=False, credentials=None, repo_id=None)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription

    Indicates the URL of the git repository

    refstring or NoneType

    Represents the default reference that will be used for reading the revision from the git repository. For example: 'master'

    submodulesstring

    Download submodules. Valid values: NO, YES, RECURSIVE.

    excluded_submodulessequence of string

    A list of names (not paths, e.g. "foo" is the submodule name if [submodule "foo"] appears in the .gitmodules file) of submodules that will not be download even if 'submodules' is set to YES or RECURSIVE.

    include_branch_commit_logsbool

    Whether to include raw logs of branch commits in the migrated change message.WARNING: This field is deprecated in favor of 'first_parent' one. This setting only affects merge commits.

    first_parentbool

    If true, it only uses the first parent when looking for changes. Note that when disabled in ITERATIVE mode, it will try to do a migration for each change of the merged branch.

    partial_fetchbool

    If true, partially fetch git repository by only fetching affected files.

    patchtransformation or NoneType

    Patch the checkout dir. The difference with patch.apply transformation is that here we can apply it using three-way

    describe_versionbool or NoneType

    Download tags and use 'git describe' to create four labels with a meaningful version identifier:

    - GIT_DESCRIBE_CHANGE_VERSION: The version for the change or changes being migrated. The value changes per change in ITERATIVE mode and will be the latest migrated change in SQUASH (In other words, doesn't include excluded changes). this is normally what users want to use.
    - GIT_DESCRIBE_REQUESTED_VERSION: git describe for the requested/head version. Constant in ITERATIVE mode and includes filtered changes.
    -GIT_DESCRIBE_FIRST_PARENT: git describe for the first parent version.
    -GIT_SEQUENTIAL_REVISION_NUMBER: The sequential number of the commit. Falls back to the SHA1 if not applicable.

    version_selectorVersionSelector or NoneType

    Select a custom version (tag)to migrate instead of 'ref'. Version selector is expected to match the whole refspec (e.g. 'refs/heads/${n1}')

    primary_branch_migrationbool

    When enabled, copybara will ignore the 'ref' param if it is 'master' or 'main' and instead try to establish the default git branch. If this fails, it will fall back to the 'ref' param.
    This is intended to help migrating to the new standard of using 'main' without breaking users relying on the legacy default.

    credentialsUsernamePasswordIssuer or NoneType

    EXPERIMENTAL: Read credentials from config file to access the Git Repo. This expects a 'credentials.username_password' specifying the username to use for the remote git host and a password or token. This is gated by the '--use-credentials-from-config' flag

    repo_idstring or NoneType

    (Experimental) The repo id of the git repository, used as a stable reference to the repo for validation.

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --git-fuzzy-last-revbooleanBy default Copybara will try to migrate the revision listed as the version in the metadata file from github. This flag tells Copybara to first find the git tag which most closely matches the metadata version, and use that for the migration.

    • 'ERROR': A user attributable error happened that prevented the destination from creating/updating the change.
    • 'STARTED': The initial effect of a migration that depends on a previous one. This allows to have 'dependant' migrations defined by users.
      An example of this: a workflow migrates code from a Gerrit review to a GitHub PR, and a feedback migration migrates the test results from a CI in GitHub back to the Gerrit change.
      This effect would be created on the former one.

    ParameterDescription
    msgunknown

    Deprecated: use positional arguments instead. This argument acts like an implicit leading positional argument.

    attrstring or NoneType

    Deprecated. Causes an optional prefix containing this string to be added to the error message.

    sepstring

    stack_tracebool

    If False stack trace is elided from failure for friendlier user messages

    argslist

    A list of values, formatted with debugPrint (which is equivalent to str by default) and joined with sep (defaults to " "), that appear in the error message.

    float

    Returns x as a float value.

    • If x is already a float, float returns it unchanged.
    • If x is a bool, float returns 1.0 for True and 0.0 for False.
    • If x is an int, float returns the nearest finite floating-point value to x, or an error if the magnitude is too large.
    • If x is a string, it must be a valid floating-point literal, or be equal (ignoring case) to NaN, Inf, or Infinity, optionally preceded by a + or - sign.
    Any other value causes an error. With no argument, float() returns 0.0.

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xstring or bool or int or float

    The value to convert.

    getattr

    Returns the struct's field of the given name if it exists. If not, it either returns default (if specified) or raises an error. getattr(x, "foobar") is equivalent to x.foobar.

    unknown getattr(x, name, default=unbound)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xunknown

    The struct whose attribute is accessed.

    namestring

    The name of the struct attribute.

    defaultunknown

    The default value to return in case the struct doesn't have an attribute of the given name.

    glob

    Returns an object which matches every file in the workdir that matches at least one pattern in include and does not match any of the patterns in exclude.

    glob glob(include, exclude=[])

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    includesequence of string

    The list of glob patterns to include

    excludesequence of string

    The list of glob patterns to exclude

    Examples:

    Simple usage:

    Include all the files under a folder except for internal folder files:

    glob(["foo/**"], exclude = ["foo/internal/**"])
    
    Multiple folders:

    Globs can have multiple inclusive rules:

    glob(["foo/**", "bar/**", "baz/**.java"])
    

    This will include all files inside foo and bar folders and Java files inside baz folder.

    Multiple excludes:

    Globs can have multiple exclusive rules:

    glob(["foo/**"], exclude = ["foo/internal/**", "foo/confidential/**" ])
    

    Include all the files of foo except the ones in internal and confidential folders

    All BUILD files recursively:

    Copybara uses Java globbing. The globbing is very similar to Bash one. This means that recursive globbing for a filename is a bit more tricky:

    glob(["BUILD", "**/BUILD"])
    

    This is the correct way of matching all BUILD files recursively, including the one in the root. **/BUILD would only match BUILD files in subdirectories.

    Matching multiple strings with one expression:

    While two globs can be used for matching two directories, there is a more compact approach:

    glob(["{java,javatests}/**"])
    

    This matches any file in java and javatests folders.

    Glob union:

    This is useful when you want to exclude a broad subset of files but you want to still include some of those files.

    glob(["folder/**"], exclude = ["folder/**.excluded"]) + glob(['folder/includeme.excluded'])
    

    This matches all the files in folder, excludes all files in that folder that ends with .excluded but keeps folder/includeme.excluded

    + operator for globs is equivalent to OR operation.

    Glob difference:

    This is another way to exclude a broad subset of files, but still include some of those files.

    glob(["folder/**"]) - glob(["folder/**.excluded"], exclude=["folder/includeme.excluded"])
    

    This matches the same file as in the previous example.

    - operator for globs is equivalent to a set difference operation.

    hasattr

    Returns True if the object x has an attribute or method of the given name, otherwise False. Example:

    hasattr(ctx.attr, "myattr")

    bool hasattr(x, name)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xunknown

    The object to check.

    namestring

    The name of the attribute.

    hash

    Return a hash value for a string. This is computed deterministically using the same algorithm as Java's String.hashCode(), namely:

    s[0] * (31^(n-1)) + s[1] * (31^(n-2)) + ... + s[n-1]
    Hashing of values besides strings is not currently supported.

    int hash(value)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    valuestring

    String value to hash.

    int

    Returns x as an int value.

    • If x is already an int, int returns it unchanged.
    • If x is a bool, int returns 1 for True and 0 for False.
    • If x is a string, it must have the format <sign><prefix><digits>. <sign> is either "+", "-", or empty (interpreted as positive). <digits> are a sequence of digits from 0 up to base - 1, where the letters a-z (or equivalently, A-Z) are used as digits for 10-35. In the case where base is 2/8/16, <prefix> is optional and may be 0b/0o/0x (or equivalently, 0B/0O/0X) respectively; if the base is any other value besides these bases or the special value 0, the prefix must be empty. In the case where base is 0, the string is interpreted as an integer literal, in the sense that one of the bases 2/8/10/16 is chosen depending on which prefix if any is used. If base is 0, no prefix is used, and there is more than one digit, the leading digit cannot be 0; this is to avoid confusion between octal and decimal. The magnitude of the number represented by the string must be within the allowed range for the int type.
    • If x is a float, int returns the integer value of the float, rounding towards zero. It is an error if x is non-finite (NaN or infinity).
    This function fails if x is any other type, or if the value is a string not satisfying the above format. Unlike Python's int function, this function does not allow zero arguments, and does not allow extraneous whitespace for string arguments.

    Examples:

    int("123") == 123
    int("-123") == -123
    int("+123") == 123
    int("FF", 16) == 255
    int("0xFF", 16) == 255
    int("10", 0) == 10
    int("-0x10", 0) == -16
    int("-0x10", 0) == -16
    int("123.456") == 123
    

    int int(x, base=unbound)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xstring or bool or int or float

    The string to convert.

    baseint

    The base used to interpret a string value; defaults to 10. Must be between 2 and 36 (inclusive), or 0 to detect the base as if x were an integer literal. This parameter must not be supplied if the value is not a string.

    len

    Returns the length of a string, sequence (such as a list or tuple), dict, set, or other iterable.

    int len(x)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xiterable or string

    The value whose length to report.

    list

    ParameterDescription
    xsequence

    The object to convert.

    max

    Returns the largest one of all given arguments. If only one positional argument is provided, it must be a non-empty iterable.It is an error if elements are not comparable (for example int with string), or if no arguments are given.

    max(2, 5, 4) == 5
    max([5, 6, 3]) == 6
    max("two", "three", "four", key = len) =="three"  # the longest
    max([1, -1, -2, 2], key = abs) == -2  # the first encountered with maximal key value
    

    unknown max(key=None, args)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    keycallable or NoneType

    An optional function applied to each element before comparison.

    argslist

    The elements to be checked.

    min

    Returns the smallest one of all given arguments. If only one positional argument is provided, it must be a non-empty iterable. It is an error if elements are not comparable (for example int with string), or if no arguments are given.

    min(2, 5, 4) == 2
    min([5, 6, 3]) == 3
    min("six", "three", "four", key = len) == "six"  # the shortest
    min([2, -2, -1, 1], key = abs) == -1  # the first encountered with minimal key value
    

    unknown min(key=None, args)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    keycallable or NoneType

    An optional function applied to each element before comparison.

    Example:

    Create a new author:
    new_author('Foo Bar <foobar@myorg.com>')
    

    parse_message

    Returns a ChangeMessage parsed from a well formed string.

    ChangeMessage parse_message(message)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    messagestring

    The contents of the change message

    print

    Prints args as debug output. It will be prefixed with the string "DEBUG" and the location (file and line number) of this call. The exact way in which the arguments are converted to strings is unspecified and may change at any time. In particular, it may be different from (and more detailed than) the formatting done by str() and repr().

    Using print in production code is discouraged due to the spam it creates for users. For deprecations, prefer a hard error using fail() whenever possible.

    print(sep=" ", args)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    sepstring

    The separator string between the objects, default is space (" ").

    argslist

    The objects to print.

    range

    Creates a list where items go from start to stop, using a step increment. If a single argument is provided, items will range from 0 to that element.

    range(4) == [0, 1, 2, 3]
    range(3, 9, 2) == [3, 5, 7]
    range(3, 0, -1) == [3, 2, 1]

    list of int range(start_or_stop, stop=unbound, step=1)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    start_or_stopint

    Value of the start element if stop is provided, otherwise value of stop and the actual start is 0

    stopint

    optional index of the first item not to be included in the resulting list; generation of the list stops before stop is reached.

    stepint

    The increment (default is 1). It may be negative.

    repr

    Converts any object to a string representation. This is useful for debugging.

    repr("ab") == '"ab"'

    string repr(x)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xunknown

    The object to convert.

    reversed

    Returns a new, unfrozen list that contains the elements of the original iterable sequence in reversed order.

    reversed([3, 5, 4]) == [4, 5, 3]

    sequence reversed(sequence)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    sequencesequence

    The iterable sequence (e.g. list) to be reversed.

    set

    Creates a new set containing the unique elements of a given iterable, preserving iteration order.

    If called with no argument, set() returns a new empty set.

    For example,

    set()                          # an empty set
    set([3, 1, 1, 2])              # set([3, 1, 2]), a set of three elements
    set({"k1": "v1", "k2": "v2"})  # set(["k1", "k2"]), a set of two elements
    

    sequence set(elements=[])

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    elementssequence

    An iterable of hashable values.

    sorted

    Returns a new sorted list containing all the elements of the supplied iterable sequence. An error may occur if any pair of elements x, y may not be compared using x < y. The elements are sorted into ascending order, unless the reverse argument is True, in which case the order is descending. Sorting is stable: elements that compare equal retain their original relative order.

    sorted([3, 5, 4]) == [3, 4, 5]
    sorted([3, 5, 4], reverse = True) == [5, 4, 3]
    sorted(["two", "three", "four"], key = len) == ["two", "four", "three"]  # sort by length
    

    sequence sorted(iterable, key=None, reverse=False)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    iterablesequence

    The iterable sequence to sort.

    keycallable or NoneType

    An optional function applied to each element before comparison.

    reversebool

    Return results in descending order.

    str

    string str(x)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xunknown

    The object to convert.

    tuple

    Returns a tuple with the same elements as the given iterable value.

    tuple([1, 2]) == (1, 2)
    tuple((2, 3, 2)) == (2, 3, 2)
    tuple({5: "a", 2: "b", 4: "c"}) == (5, 2, 4)

    tuple tuple(x=())

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xsequence

    The object to convert.

    type

    Returns the type name of its argument. This is useful for debugging and type-checking. Examples:

    type(2) == "int"
    type([1]) == "list"
    type(struct(a = 2)) == "struct"
    This function might change in the future. To write Python-compatible code and be future-proof, use it only to compare return values:
    if type(x) == type([]):  # if x is a list

    string type(x)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    xunknown

    The object to check type of.

    zip

    Returns a list of tuples, where the i-th tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument sequences or iterables. The list has the size of the shortest input. With a single iterable argument, it returns a list of 1-tuples. With no arguments, it returns an empty list. Examples:

    zip()  # == []
    zip([1, 2])  # == [(1,), (2,)]
    zip([1, 2], [3, 4])  # == [(1, 3), (2, 4)]
    zip([1, 2], [3, 4, 5])  # == [(1, 3), (2, 4)]

    list

    The built-in list type. Example list expressions:

    x = [1, 2, 3]
    Accessing elements is possible using indexing (starts from 0):
    e = x[1]   # e == 2
    Lists support the + operator to concatenate two lists. Example:
    x = [1, 2] + [3, 4]   # x == [1, 2, 3, 4]
    x = ["a", "b"]
    x += ["c"]            # x == ["a", "b", "c"]
    Similar to strings, lists support slice operations:
    ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'][1:3]   # ['b', 'c']
    ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'][::2]  # ['a', 'c']
    ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd'][3:0:-1]  # ['d', 'c', 'b']
    Lists are mutable, as in Python.

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    x?

    The object to search.

    metadata

    Core transformations for the change metadata

    metadata.add_header

    Adds a header line to the commit message. Any variable present in the message in the form of ${LABEL_NAME} will be replaced by the corresponding label in the message. Note that this requires that the label is already in the message or in any of the changes being imported. The label in the message takes priority over the ones in the list of original messages of changes imported.

    transformation metadata.add_header(text, ignore_label_not_found=False, new_line=True)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    textstring

    The header text to include in the message. For example '[Import of foo LABEL]โ€ฒ.Thiswouldconstructamessageresolving{LABEL}]'. This would construct a message resolving {LABEL} to the corresponding label.

    ignore_label_not_foundbool

    If a label used in the template is not found, ignore the error and don't add the header. By default it will stop the migration and fail.

    new_linebool

    If a new line should be added between the header and the original message. This allows to create messages like HEADER: ORIGINAL_MESSAGE

    Examples:

    Add a header always:

    Adds a header to any message

    metadata.add_header("COPYBARA CHANGE")
    

    Messages like:

    A change
    
    Example description for
    documentation
    

    Will be transformed into:

    COPYBARA CHANGE
    A change
    
    Example description for
    documentation
    
    Add a header that uses a label:

    Adds a header to messages that contain a label. Otherwise it skips the message manipulation.

    metadata.add_header("COPYBARA CHANGE FOR https://github.com/myproject/foo/pull/${GITHUB_PR_NUMBER}",
        ignore_label_not_found = True,
    )
    

    A change message, imported using git.github_pr_origin, like:

    A change
    
    Example description for
    documentation
    

    Will be transformed into:

    COPYBARA CHANGE FOR https://github.com/myproject/foo/pull/1234
    Example description for
    documentation
    

    Assuming the PR number is 1234. But any change without that label will not be transformed.

    Add a header without new line:

    Adds a header without adding a new line before the original message:

    metadata.add_header("COPYBARA CHANGE: ", new_line = False)
    

    Messages like:

    A change
    
    Example description for
    documentation
    

    Will be transformed into:

    COPYBARA CHANGE: A change
    
    Example description for
    documentation
    

    metadata.expose_label

    Certain labels are present in the internal metadata but are not exposed in the message by default. This transformations find a label in the internal metadata and exposes it in the message. If the label is already present in the message it will update it to use the new name and separator.

    transformation metadata.expose_label(name, new_name=label, separator="=", ignore_label_not_found=True, all=False, concat_separator=None)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    namestring

    The label to search

    new_namestring or NoneType

    The name to use in the message

    separatorstring

    The separator to use when adding the label to the message

    ignore_label_not_foundbool

    If a label is not found, ignore the error and continue.

    allbool

    By default Copybara tries to find the most relevant instance of the label. First looking into the message and then looking into the changes in order. If this field is true it exposes all the matches instead.

    concat_separatorunknown

    If all is set, copybara will expose multiple values in one per line. If a separator is specified, it will concat the values instead.

    Examples:

    Simple usage:

    Expose a hidden label called 'REVIEW_URL':

    metadata.expose_label('REVIEW_URL')
    

    This would add it as REVIEW_URL=the_value.

    New label name:

    Expose a hidden label called 'REVIEW_URL' as GIT_REVIEW_URL:

    metadata.expose_label('REVIEW_URL', 'GIT_REVIEW_URL')
    

    This would add it as GIT_REVIEW_URL=the_value.

    Custom separator:

    Expose the label with a custom separator

    metadata.expose_label('REVIEW_URL', separator = ': ')
    

    This would add it as REVIEW_URL: the_value.

    Expose multiple labels:

    Expose all instances of a label in all the changes (SQUASH for example)

    metadata.expose_label('REVIEW_URL', all = True)
    

    This would add 0 or more REVIEW_URL: the_value labels to the message.

    Expose multiple labels, concatenating the values :

    Expose all instances of a label in all the changes (SQUASH for example)

    metadata.expose_label('REVIEW_URL', all = True, concat_separator=',')
    

    This would add a REVIEW_URL: value1,value2 label to the message.

    metadata.map_author

    Map the author name and mail to another author. The mapping can be done by both name and mail or only using any of the two.

    transformation metadata.map_author(authors, reversible=False, noop_reverse=False, fail_if_not_found=False, reverse_fail_if_not_found=False, map_all_changes=False)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    authorsdict

    The author mapping. Keys can be in the form of 'Your Name', 'some@mail' or 'Your Name <some@mail>'. The mapping applies heuristics to know which field to use in the mapping. The value has to be always in the form of 'Your Name <some@mail>'

    reversiblebool

    If the transform is automatically reversible. Workflows using the reverse of this transform will be able to automatically map values to keys.

    noop_reversebool

    If true, the reversal of the transformation doesn't do anything. This is useful to avoid having to write core.transformation(metadata.map_author(...), reversal = []).

    fail_if_not_foundbool

    Fail if a mapping cannot be found. Helps discovering early authors that should be in the map

    reverse_fail_if_not_foundbool

    Same as fail_if_not_found but when the transform is used in a inverse workflow.

    map_all_changesbool

    If all changes being migrated should be mapped. Useful for getting a mapped metadata.squash_notes. By default we only map the current author.

    Example:

    Map some names, emails and complete authors:

    Here we show how to map authors using different options:

    metadata.map_author({
        'john' : 'Some Person <some@example.com>',
        'madeupexample@google.com' : 'Other Person <someone@example.com>',
        'John Example <john.example@example.com>' : 'Another Person <some@email.com>',
    })
    

    metadata.map_references

    Allows updating links to references in commit messages to match the destination's format. Note that this will only consider the 5000 latest commits.

    transformation metadata.map_references(before, after, regex_groups={}, additional_import_labels=[])

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    beforestring

    Template for origin references in the change message. Use a 'referenceโ€ฒtokentocapturetheactualreferences.E.g.iftheoriginuseslinkslikeโ€ฒhttp://changes?1234โ€ฒ,thetemplatewouldbeโ€ฒhttp://changes?{reference}' token to capture the actual references. E.g. if the origin uses links like 'http://changes?1234', the template would be 'http://changes?{reference}', with reference_regex = '[0-9]+'

    afterstring

    Format for destination references in the change message. Use a 'referenceโ€ฒtokentorepresentthedestinationreference.E.g.ifthedestinationuseslinkslikeโ€ฒhttp://changes?1234โ€ฒ,thetemplatewouldbeโ€ฒhttp://changes?{reference}' token to represent the destination reference. E.g. if the destination uses links like 'http://changes?1234', the template would be 'http://changes?{reference}', with reference_regex = '[0-9]+'

    regex_groupsdict

    Regexes for the referencetokenโ€ฒscontent.Requiresoneโ€ฒbeforerefโ€ฒentrymatchingthe{reference} token's content. Requires one 'before_ref' entry matching the {reference} token's content on the before side. Optionally accepts one 'after_ref' used for validation. Copybara uses re2 syntax.

    additional_import_labelssequence of string

    Meant to be used when migrating from another tool: Per default, copybara will only recognize the labels defined in the workflow's endpoints. The tool will use these additional labels to find labels created by other invocations and tools.

    Example:

    Map references, origin source of truth:

    Finds links to commits in change messages, searches destination to find the equivalent reference in destination. Then replaces matches of 'before' with 'after', replacing the subgroup matched with the destination reference. Assume a message like 'Fixes bug introduced in origin/abcdef', where the origin change 'abcdef' was migrated as '123456' to the destination.

    metadata.map_references(
        before = "origin/${reference}",
        after = "destination/${reference}",
        regex_groups = {
            "before_ref": "[0-9a-f]+",
            "after_ref": "[0-9]+",
        },
    )
    

    This would be translated into 'Fixes bug introduced in destination/123456', provided that a change with the proper label was found - the message remains unchanged otherwise.

    metadata.remove_label

    Remove a label from the message

    transformation metadata.remove_label(name)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    namestring

    The label name

    Example:

    Remove a label:

    Remove Change-Id label from the message:

    metadata.remove_label('Change-Id')
    

    metadata.replace_message

    Replace the change message with a template text. Any variable present in the message in the form of ${LABEL_NAME} will be replaced by the corresponding label in the message. Note that this requires that the label is already in the message or in any of the changes being imported. The label in the message takes priority over the ones in the list of original messages of changes imported.

    transformation metadata.replace_message(text, ignore_label_not_found=False)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    textstring

    The template text to use for the message. For example '[Import of foo LABEL]โ€ฒ.Thiswouldconstructamessageresolving{LABEL}]'. This would construct a message resolving {LABEL} to the corresponding label.

    ignore_label_not_foundbool

    If a label used in the template is not found, ignore the error and don't add the header. By default it will stop the migration and fail.

    Example:

    Replace the message:

    Replace the original message with a text:

    metadata.replace_message("COPYBARA CHANGE: Import of ${GITHUB_PR_NUMBER}\n\n${GITHUB_PR_BODY}\n")
    

    Will transform the message to:

    COPYBARA CHANGE: Import of 12345
    
    Body from Github Pull Request
    

    metadata.restore_author

    For a given change, restore the author present in the ORIGINAL_AUTHOR label as the author of the change.

    transformation metadata.restore_author(label='ORIGINAL_AUTHOR', separator="=", search_all_changes=False)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    labelstring

    The label to use for restoring the author

    separatorstring

    The separator to use between the label and the value

    search_all_changesbool

    By default Copybara only looks in the last current change for the author label. This allows to do the search in all current changes (Only makes sense for SQUASH/CHANGE_REQUEST).

    metadata.save_author

    For a given change, store a copy of the author as a label with the name ORIGINAL_AUTHOR.

    transformation metadata.save_author(label='ORIGINAL_AUTHOR', separator="=")

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    labelstring

    The label to use for storing the author

    separatorstring

    The separator to use between the label and the value

    metadata.scrubber

    Removes part of the change message using a regex

    transformation metadata.scrubber(regex, msg_if_no_match=None, fail_if_no_match=False, replacement='')

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    regexstring

    Any text matching the regex will be removed. Note that the regex is runs in multiline mode.

    msg_if_no_matchstring or NoneType

    If set, Copybara will use this text when the scrubbing regex doesn't match.

    fail_if_no_matchbool

    If set, msg_if_no_match must be None and then fail if the scrubbing regex doesn't match.

    replacementstring

    Text replacement for the matching substrings. References to regex group numbers can be used in the form of $1, $2, etc.

    Examples:

    Remove from a keyword to the end of the message:

    When change messages are in the following format:

    Public change description
    
    This is a public description for a commit
    
    CONFIDENTIAL:
    This fixes internal project foo-bar
    

    Using the following transformation:

    metadata.scrubber('(^|\n)CONFIDENTIAL:(.|\n)*')
    

    Will remove the confidential part, leaving the message as:

    Public change description
    
    This is a public description for a commit
    
    Keep only message enclosed in tags:

    The previous example is prone to leak confidential information since a developer could easily forget to include the CONFIDENTIAL label. A different approach for this is to scrub everything by default except what is explicitly allowed. For example, the following scrubber would remove anything not enclosed in <public></public> tags:

    metadata.scrubber('^(?:\n|.)*<public>((?:\n|.)*)</public>(?:\n|.)*$', replacement = '\$1')
    

    So a message like:

    this
    is
    very confidential<public>but this is public
    very public
    </public>
    and this is a secret too
    

    would be transformed into:

    but this is public
    very public
    
    Use default msg when the scrubbing regex doesn't match:

    Assign msg_if_no_match a default msg. For example:

    metadata.scrubber('^(?:\n|.)*<public>((?:\n|.)*)</public>(?:\n|.)*$', msg_if_no_match = 'Internal Change.', replacement = '\$1')
    

    So a message like:

    this
    is
    very confidential
    This is not public msg.
    
    and this is a secret too
    

    would be transformed into:

    Internal Change.
    
    Fail if the scrubbing regex doesn't match:

    Set fail_if_no_match to true

    metadata.scrubber('^(?:\n|.)*<public>((?:\n|.)*)</public>(?:\n|.)*$', fail_if_no_match = True, replacement = '\$1')
    

    So a message like:

    this
    is
    very confidential
    but this is not public
    
    and this is a secret too
    
    

    This would fail. Error msg:

    Scrubber regex: '^(?:\n|.)*<public>((?:\n|.)*)</public>(?:\n|.)*$' didn't match for description: this
    is
    very confidential
    but this is not public
    
    and this is a secret too
    

    metadata.squash_notes

    Generate a message that includes a constant prefix text and a list of changes included in the squash change.

    transformation metadata.squash_notes(prefix='Copybara import of the project:\n\n', max=100, compact=True, show_ref=True, show_author=True, show_description=True, oldest_first=False, use_merge=True)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    prefixstring

    A prefix to be printed before the list of commits.

    maxint

    Max number of commits to include in the message. For the rest a comment like (and x more) will be included. By default 100 commits are included.

    compactbool

    If compact is set, each change will be shown in just one line

    show_refbool

    If each change reference should be present in the notes

    show_authorbool

    If each change author should be present in the notes

    show_descriptionbool

    If each change description should be present in the notes

    oldest_firstbool

    If set to true, the list shows the oldest changes first. Otherwise it shows the changes in descending order.

    use_mergebool

    If true then merge changes are included in the squash notes

    Examples:

    Simple usage:

    'Squash notes' default is to print one line per change with information about the author

    metadata.squash_notes("Changes for Project Foo:\n")
    

    This transform will generate changes like:

    Changes for Project Foo:
    
      - 1234abcde second commit description by Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
      - a4321bcde first commit description by Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
    
    Removing authors and reversing the order:
    metadata.squash_notes("Changes for Project Foo:\n",
        oldest_first = True,
        show_author = False,
    )
    

    This transform will generate changes like:

    Changes for Project Foo:
    
      - a4321bcde first commit description
      - 1234abcde second commit description
    
    Removing description:
    metadata.squash_notes("Changes for Project Foo:\n",
        show_description = False,
    )
    

    This transform will generate changes like:

    Changes for Project Foo:
    
      - a4321bcde by Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
      - 1234abcde by Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>
    
    Showing the full message:
    metadata.squash_notes(
      prefix = 'Changes for Project Foo:',
      compact = False
    )
    

    This transform will generate changes like:

    Changes for Project Foo:
    --
    2 by Foo Baz <foo@baz.com>:
    
    second commit
    
    Extended text
    --
    1 by Foo Bar <foo@bar.com>:
    
    first commit
    
    Extended text
    

    metadata.use_last_change

    Use metadata (message or/and author) from the last change being migrated. Useful when using 'SQUASH' mode but user only cares about the last change.

    transformation metadata.use_last_change(author=True, message=True, default_message=None, use_merge=True)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    authorbool

    Replace author with the last change author (Could still be the default author if not on the allowlist or using authoring.overwrite.)

    messagebool

    Replace message with last change message.

    default_messagestring or NoneType

    Replace message with last change message.

    use_mergebool

    If true then merge changes are taken into account for looking for the last change.

    metadata.verify_match

    Verifies that a RegEx matches (or not matches) the change message. Does not transform anything, but will stop the workflow if it fails.

    transformation metadata.verify_match(regex, verify_no_match=False)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    regexstring

    The regex pattern to verify. The re2j pattern will be applied in multiline mode, i.e. '^' refers to the beginning of a file and '$' to its end.

    verify_no_matchbool

    If true, the transformation will verify that the RegEx does not match.

    Example:

    Check that a text is present in the change description:

    Check that the change message contains a text enclosed in <public></public>:

    metadata.verify_match("<public>(.|\n)*</public>")
    

    origin

    A Origin represents a source control repository from which source is copied.

    Returned By:

    Consumed By:

    origin_ref

    Reference to the change/review in the origin.

    Fields:

    NameDescription
    refstring

    Origin reference ref

    Returned By:

    Consumed By:

    output_obj

    Descriptive details about the run.

    Fields:

    NameDescription
    summarystring

    The summary of the check run.

    textstring

    The details of the check run.

    titlestring

    The title of the check run.

    patch

    Module for applying patches.

    patch.apply

    A transformation that applies the given patch files. If a path does not exist in a patch, it will be ignored.

    transformation patch.apply(patches=[], excluded_patch_paths=[], series=None, strip=1, directory='', validation_level="OPTIONAL_SERIES")

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    patchessequence of string

    The list of patchfiles to apply, relative to the current config file. The files will be applied relative to the checkout dir and the leading path component will be stripped (-p1).

    If series is also specified, these patches will be applied before those ones.

    This field doesn't accept a glob.

    excluded_patch_pathssequence of string

    The list of paths to exclude from each of the patches. Each of the paths will be excluded from all the patches. Note that these are not workdir paths, but paths relative to the patch itself. If not empty, the patch will be applied using 'git apply' instead of GNU Patch.

    seriesstring or NoneType

    A file which contains a list of patches to apply. The patch files to apply are interpreted relative to this file and must be written one per line. The patches listed in this file will be applied relative to the checkout dir and the leading path component will be stripped (via the -p1 flag).

    You can generate a file which matches this format by running 'find . -name *.patch | sort > series'.

    If patches is also specified, those patches will be applied before these ones.

    stripint

    Number of segments to strip. (This sets the -pX flag, for example -p0, -p1, etc.) By default it uses -p1.

    directorystring

    Path relative to the working directory from which to apply patches. This supports patches that specify relative paths in their file diffs but use a different relative path base than the working directory. (This sets the -d flag, for example -d sub/dir/). By default, it uses the current directory.

    validation_levelstring

    The validation level to use for patch files and series:
    'FULL': if series is provided, series file must exist in the filesystem, be not empty, and all patch files mentioned within must also exist. Patch files used directly must also exist in the filesystem.
    'OPTIONAL_SERIES': not an error if series does not exist or is empty. If series exists, patch files mentioned within must still exist.
    'NONE': no validation, series or patches within might not exist or be empty.

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --patch-skip-version-checkbooleanSkip checking the version of patch and assume it is fine
    --patch-use-git-applybooleanDon't use GNU Patch and instead use 'git apply'
    --patch-validate-on-loadbooleanOverride transform's validation level and force full or no validation
    --quilt-binstringPath to quilt command

    patch.quilt_apply

    A transformation that applies and updates patch files using Quilt. Compared to patch.apply, this transformation supports updating the content of patch files if they can be successfully applied with fuzz.

    The series and patch files must be included in the destination_files glob in order to get updated. The updated files end up in workingDirectory/directory/patchesDirectory. patchesDirectory is the directory name from series in which the series file is placed. If a directory with the same name already exists in the output, a warning is logged and its content overridden.

    Underneath, Copybara runs quilt in the directory parameter's location and then calls quilt import; quilt push; quilt refresh for each patch file in the series file in order. Copybara also uses the -p ab flag to strip out the leading a/ and b/ path components and then applies the patch files relative to the directory parameter's location.

    transformation patch.quilt_apply(series, directory='', validation_level="FULL")

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    seriesstring

    A path to a series file to apply using Quilt, relative to the Copybara config directory.

    This parameter must represent a simple non-empty relative path. . or .. or absolute paths are not supported.

    Quilt's standard path is patches/series, but overriding Quilt's patches directory name is supported by specifying a different directory name here or no directory. A different name for the series file is currently not supported, so this parameter must end in series.

    directorystring

    Path relative to the working directory from which to run quilt and apply patches. This supports patches that specify relative paths in their file diffs but use a different relative path base than the working directory.

    This is also the output directory in which the updated patches directory, series and patch files get returned.

    By default, it uses the root of the working directory.

    validation_levelstring

    The validation level to use for patch files and series:
    'FULL': series must exist in the filesystem, be not empty, and all patch files mentioned within must also exist.
    'OPTIONAL_SERIES': not an error if series does not exist or is empty. If series exists, patch files mentioned within must still exist.
    'NONE': no file system or content validation. Series or patches within might not exist or be empty files. The series parameter must still be specified and represent a simple relative path.

    Example:

    Workflow to apply and update patches:

    Suppose the destination repository's directory structure looks like:

    source_root/BUILD
    source_root/copy.bara.sky
    source_root/migrated_file1
    source_root/migrated_file2
    source_root/patches/series
    source_root/patches/patch1.patch
    

    Then the transformations in source_root/copy.bara.sky should look like:

    [
        patch.quilt_apply(series = "patches/series"),
        core.move("", "source_root"),
    ]
    

    In this example, patch1.patch is applied to migrated_file1 and/or migrated_file2. patch1.patch itself will be updated during the migration if it is applied with fuzz.

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --patch-skip-version-checkbooleanSkip checking the version of patch and assume it is fine
    --patch-use-git-applybooleanDon't use GNU Patch and instead use 'git apply'
    --patch-validate-on-loadbooleanOverride transform's validation level and force full or no validation

    set

    The built-in set type. A set is a mutable collection of unique values โ€“ the set's elements. The type name of a set is "set".

    Sets provide constant-time operations to insert, remove, or check for the presence of a value. Sets are implemented using a hash table, and therefore, just like keys of a dictionary, elements of a set must be hashable. A value may be used as an element of a set if and only if it may be used as a key of a dictionary.

    Sets may be constructed using the set() built-in function, which returns a new set containing the unique elements of its optional argument, which must be an iterable. Calling set() without an argument constructs an empty set. Sets have no literal syntax.

    The in and not in operations check whether a value is (or is not) in a set:

    s = set(["a", "b", "c"])
    "a" in s  # True
    "z" in s  # False
    

    A set is iterable, and thus may be used as the operand of a for loop, a list comprehension, and the various built-in functions that operate on iterables. Its length can be retrieved using the len() built-in function, and the order of iteration is the order in which elements were first added to the set:

    s = set(["z", "y", "z", "y"])
    len(s)       # prints 2
    s.add("x")
    len(s)       # prints 3
    for e in s:
        print e  # prints "z", "y", "x"
    

    A set used in Boolean context is true if and only if it is non-empty.

    s = set()
    "non-empty" if s else "empty"  # "empty"
    t = set(["x", "y"])
    "non-empty" if t else "empty"  # "non-empty"
    

    Sets may be compared for equality or inequality using == and !=. A set s is equal to t if and only if t is a set containing the same elements; iteration order is not significant. In particular, a set is not equal to the list of its elements. Sets are not ordered with respect to other sets, and an attempt to compare two sets using <, <=, >, >=, or to sort a sequence of sets, will fail.

    set() == set()              # True
    set() != []                 # True
    set([1, 2]) == set([2, 1])  # True
    set([1, 2]) != [1, 2]       # True
    

    The | operation on two sets returns the union of the two sets: a set containing the elements found in either one or both of the original sets.

    set([1, 2]) | set([3, 2])  # set([1, 2, 3])
    

    The & operation on two sets returns the intersection of the two sets: a set containing only the elements found in both of the original sets.

    set([1, 2]) & set([2, 3])  # set([2])
    set([1, 2]) & set([3, 4])  # set()
    

    The - operation on two sets returns the difference of the two sets: a set containing the elements found in the left-hand side set but not the right-hand side set.

    set([1, 2]) - set([2, 3])  # set([1])
    set([1, 2]) - set([3, 4])  # set([1, 2])
    

    The ^ operation on two sets returns the symmetric difference of the two sets: a set containing the elements found in exactly one of the two original sets, but not in both.

    set([1, 2]) ^ set([2, 3])  # set([1, 3])
    set([1, 2]) ^ set([3, 4])  # set([1, 2, 3, 4])
    

    In each of the above operations, the elements of the resulting set retain their order from the two operand sets, with all elements that were drawn from the left-hand side ordered before any element that was only present in the right-hand side.

    The corresponding augmented assignments, |=, &=, -=, and ^=, modify the left-hand set in place.

    s = set([1, 2])
    s |= set([2, 3, 4])     # s now equals set([1, 2, 3, 4])
    s &= set([0, 1, 2, 3])  # s now equals set([1, 2, 3])
    s -= set([0, 1])        # s now equals set([2, 3])
    s ^= set([3, 4])        # s now equals set([2, 4])
    

    Like all mutable values in Starlark, a set can be frozen, and once frozen, all subsequent operations that attempt to update it will fail.

    set.add

    Adds an element to the set.

    It is permissible to add a value already present in the set; this leaves the set unchanged.

    If you need to add multiple elements to a set, see update or the |= augmented assignment operation.

    set.add(element)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    element?

    Element to add.

    set.clear

    Removes all the elements of the set.

    set.clear()

    set.difference

    Returns a new mutable set containing the difference of this set with others.

    If s and t are sets, s.difference(t) is equivalent to s - t; however, note that the - operation requires both sides to be sets, while the difference method also accepts sequences and dicts.

    It is permissible to call difference without any arguments; this returns a copy of the set.

    For example,

    set([1, 2, 3]).difference([2])             # set([1, 3])
    set([1, 2, 3]).difference([0, 1], [3, 4])  # set([2])
    

    sequence set.difference(others)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherslist

    Collections of hashable elements.

    set.difference_update

    Removes any elements found in any others from this set.

    If s and t are sets, s.difference_update(t) is equivalent to s -= t; however, note that the -= augmented assignment requires both sides to be sets, while the difference_update method also accepts sequences and dicts.

    It is permissible to call difference_update without any arguments; this leaves the set unchanged.

    For example,

    s = set([1, 2, 3, 4])
    s.difference_update([2])             # None; s is set([1, 3, 4])
    s.difference_update([0, 1], [4, 5])  # None; s is set([3])
    

    set.difference_update(others)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherslist

    Collections of hashable elements.

    set.discard

    Removes an element from the set if it is present.

    It is permissible to discard a value not present in the set; this leaves the set unchanged. If you want to fail on an attempt to remove a non-present element, use remove instead. If you need to remove multiple elements from a set, see difference_update or the -= augmented assignment operation.

    For example,

    s = set(["x", "y"])
    s.discard("y")  # None; s == set(["x"])
    s.discard("y")  # None; s == set(["x"])
    

    set.discard(element)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    element?

    Element to discard. Must be hashable.

    set.intersection

    Returns a new mutable set containing the intersection of this set with others.

    If s and t are sets, s.intersection(t) is equivalent to s & t; however, note that the & operation requires both sides to be sets, while the intersection method also accepts sequences and dicts.

    It is permissible to call intersection without any arguments; this returns a copy of the set.

    For example,

    set([1, 2]).intersection([2, 3])             # set([2])
    set([1, 2, 3]).intersection([0, 1], [1, 2])  # set([1])
    

    sequence set.intersection(others)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherslist

    Collections of hashable elements.

    set.intersection_update

    Removes any elements not found in all others from this set.

    If s and t are sets, s.intersection_update(t) is equivalent to s &= t; however, note that the &= augmented assignment requires both sides to be sets, while the intersection_update method also accepts sequences and dicts.

    It is permissible to call intersection_update without any arguments; this leaves the set unchanged.

    For example,

    s = set([1, 2, 3, 4])
    s.intersection_update([0, 1, 2])       # None; s is set([1, 2])
    s.intersection_update([0, 1], [1, 2])  # None; s is set([1])

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherslist

    Collections of hashable elements.

    set.isdisjoint

    Returns true if this set has no elements in common with another.

    For example,

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherunknown

    A collection of hashable elements.

    set.issubset

    Returns true of this set is a subset of another.

    Note that a set is always considered to be a subset of itself.

    set([1, 2]).issubset([1, 2])     # True
    set([1, 2]).issubset([2, 3])     # False
    

    bool set.issubset(other)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherunknown

    A collection of hashable elements.

    set.issuperset

    Returns true of this set is a superset of another.

    Note that a set is always considered to be a superset of itself.

    For example,

    set([1, 2, 3]).issuperset([1, 2])     # True
    set([1, 2, 3]).issuperset([1, 2, 3])  # True
    set([1, 2, 3]).issuperset([2, 3, 4])  # False

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherunknown

    A collection of hashable elements.

    set.pop

    Removes and returns the first element of the set (in iteration order, which is the order in which elements were first added to the set).

    Fails if the set is empty.

    For example,

    s = set([3, 1, 2])
    s.pop()  # 3; s == set([1, 2])
    s.pop()  # 1; s == set([2])
    s.pop()  # 2; s == set()
    s.pop()  # error: empty set
    

    ? set.pop()

    set.remove

    Removes an element, which must be present in the set, from the set.

    remove fails if the element was not present in the set. If you don't want to fail on an attempt to remove a non-present element, use discard instead. If you need to remove multiple elements from a set, see difference_update or the -= augmented assignment operation.

    set.remove(element)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    element?

    Element to remove. Must be an element of the set (and hashable).

    set.symmetric_difference

    Returns a new mutable set containing the symmetric difference of this set with another collection of hashable elements.

    If s and t are sets, s.symmetric_difference(t) is equivalent to s ^ t; however, note that the ^ operation requires both sides to be sets, while the symmetric_difference method also accepts a sequence or a dict.

    For example,

    set([1, 2]).symmetric_difference([2, 3])  # set([1, 3])
    

    sequence set.symmetric_difference(other)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherunknown

    A collection of hashable elements.

    set.symmetric_difference_update

    Returns a new mutable set containing the symmetric difference of this set with another collection of hashable elements.

    If s and t are sets, s.symmetric_difference_update(t) is equivalent to `s ^= t; however, note that the ^=` augmented assignment requires both sides to be sets, while the symmetric_difference_update method also accepts a sequence or a dict.

    For example,

    s = set([1, 2])
    s.symmetric_difference_update([2, 3])  # None; s == set([1, 3])
    

    set.symmetric_difference_update(other)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherunknown

    A collection of hashable elements.

    set.union

    Returns a new mutable set containing the union of this set with others.

    If s and t are sets, s.union(t) is equivalent to s | t; however, note that the | operation requires both sides to be sets, while the union method also accepts sequences and dicts.

    It is permissible to call union without any arguments; this returns a copy of the set.

    For example,

    set([1, 2]).union([2, 3])                    # set([1, 2, 3])
    set([1, 2]).union([2, 3], {3: "a", 4: "b"})  # set([1, 2, 3, 4])
    

    sequence set.union(others)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherslist

    Collections of hashable elements.

    set.update

    Adds the elements found in others to this set.

    For example,

    s.update([1, 2])          # None; s is set([1, 2])
    s.update([2, 3], [3, 4])  # None; s is set([1, 2, 3, 4])
    

    If s and t are sets, s.update(t) is equivalent to s |= t; however, note that the |= augmented assignment requires both sides to be sets, while the update method also accepts sequences and dicts.

    It is permissible to call update without any arguments; this leaves the set unchanged.

    set.update(others)

    Parameters:

    ParameterDescription
    otherslist

    Collections of hashable elements.

    string

    A language built-in type to support strings. Examples of string literals:

    a = 'abc\ndef'
    b = "ab'cd"
    c = """multiline string"""

    Strings support slicing (negative index starts from the end):

    x = "hello"[2:4] # "ll" y = "hello"[1:-1] # "ell" z = "hello"[:4] # "hell"

    Slice steps can be used, too:

    s = "hello"[::2] # "hlo" t = "hello"[3:0:-1] # "lle"

    Strings are not directly iterable, use the .elems() method to iterate over their characters. Examples:
    "bc" in "abcd"   # evaluates to True
    x = [c for c in "abc".elems()]  # x == ["a", "b", "c"]
    Implicit concatenation of strings is not allowed; use the + operator instead. Comparison operators perform a lexicographical comparison; use == to test for equality.

    Accessing elements is possible using indexing (starts from 0):
    e = x[1]   # e == 2
    Lists support the + operator to concatenate two tuples. Example:
    x = (1, 2) + (3, 4)   # x == (1, 2, 3, 4)
    x = ("a", "b")
    x += ("c",)            # x == ("a", "b", "c")
    Similar to lists, tuples support slice operations:
    ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')[1:3]   # ('b', 'c')
    ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')[::2]  # ('a', 'c')
    ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd')[3:0:-1]  # ('d', 'c', 'b')
    Tuples are immutable, therefore x[1] = "a" is not supported.

    copybara_flags

    All flag options available to the Copybara CLI.

    Command line flags:

    NameTypeDescription
    --allow-empty-diffbooleanIf set to false, Copybara will not write to the destination if the exact same change is already pending in the destination. Currently only supported for git.github_pr_destination and git.gerrit_destination.
    --allowed-git-push-optionslistThis is a flag used to allowlist push options sent to git servers. E.g. copybara copy.bara.sky --git-push-option="foo,bar" would make copybara validate push so that the only push options (if there are any) used are 'foo' and 'bar'. If this flag is unset, it will skip push options validation. Set to "" to allow no push options.
    --commands-timeoutdurationCommands timeout. Example values: 30s, 20m, 1h, etc.
    --config-rootstringConfiguration root path to be used for resolving absolute config labels like '//foo/bar'
    --console-file-flush-intervaldurationHow often Copybara should flush the console to the output file. (10s, 1m, etc.)If set to 0s, console will be flushed only at the end. Example values: 30s, 20m, 1h, etc.
    --console-file-pathstringIf set, write the console output also to the given file path.
    --debug-file-breakstringStop when file matching the glob changes
    --debug-metadata-breakbooleanStop when message and/or author changes
    --debug-transform-breakstringStop when transform description matches
    --diff-binstringCommand line diff tool bin used in merge import. Defaults to diff3, but users can pass in their own diffing tools (along with requisite arg reordering)
    --disable-reversible-checkbooleanIf set, all workflows will be executed without reversible_check, overriding the workflow config and the normal behavior for CHANGE_REQUEST mode.
    --dry-runbooleanRun the migration in dry-run mode. Some destination implementations might have some side effects (like creating a code review), but never submit to a main branch.
    --event-monitorlistEventmonitors to enable. These must be in the list of available monitors.
    --experiment-checkout-affected-filesbooleanIf set, copybara will only checkout affected files at git origin. Note that this is experimental.
    --force, --force-updatebooleanForce the migration even if Copybara cannot find in the destination a change that is an ancestor of the one(s) being migrated. This should be used with care, as it could lose changes when migrating a previous/conflicting change.
    --git-credential-helper-store-filestringCredentials store file to be used. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store
    --git-http-follow-redirectsstringWhether git should follow HTTP redirects. For a list of valid options, please see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-httpfollowRedirects
    --git-ls-remote-limitintegerLimit the number of ls-remote rows is visible to Copybara.
    --git-no-verifybooleanPass the '--no-verify' option to git pushes and commits to disable git commit hooks.
    --git-origin-fetch-depthintegerUse a shallow clone of the specified depth for git.origin. If set, only the n most recent changes' tree states are imported with older changes omitted.
    --git-push-optionlistThis is a repeatable flag used to set git push level flags to send to git servers. E.g. copybara copy.bara.sky --git-push-option foo --git-push-option bar would make git operations done by copybara under the hood use the --push-option flags: git push -push-option=foo -push-option=bar ...
    --git-tag-overwritebooleanIf set, copybara will force update existing git tag
    --info-include-definitionbooleanWhen set, the INFO command will include the migrations' definition stack info in the table or list output. In table, leaves out origin, destination and mode.
    --info-list-onlybooleanWhen set, the INFO command will print a list of workflows defined in the file.
    --labelsimmutableMapAdditional flags. Can be accessed in feedback and mirror context objects via the cli_labels field. In core.workflow, they are accessible as labels, but with names uppercased and prefixed with FLAG_ to avoid name clashes with existing labels. I.e. --labels=label1:value1 will define a label FLAG_LABEL1Format: --labels=flag1:value1,flag2:value2 Or: --labels flag1:value1,flag2:value2
    --noansibooleanDon't use ANSI output for messages
    --nocleanupbooleanCleanup the output directories. This includes the workdir, scratch clones of Git repos, etc. By default is set to false and directories will be cleaned prior to the execution. If set to true, the previous run output will not be cleaned up. Keep in mind that running in this mode will lead to an ever increasing disk usage.
    --nogit-credential-helper-storebooleanDisable using credentials store. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store
    --nogit-promptbooleanDisable username/password prompt and fail if no credentials are found. This flag sets the environment variable GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT which is intended for automated jobs running Git https://git-scm.com/docs/git/2.3.0#git-emGITTERMINALPROMPTem
    --nopromptbooleanDon't prompt, this will answer all prompts with 'yes'
    --output-limitintLimit the output in the console to a number of records. Each subcommand might use this flag differently. Defaults to 0, which shows all the output.
    --output-rootstringThe root directory where to generate output files. If not set, ~/copybara/out is used by default. Use with care, Copybara might remove files inside this root if necessary.
    --patch-binstringPath for GNU Patch command
    --remote-http-files-connection-timeoutdurationTimeout for the fetch operation, e.g. 30s. Example values: 30s, 20m, 1h, etc.
    --repo-timeoutdurationRepository operation timeout duration. Example values: 30s, 20m, 1h, etc.
    --squashbooleanOverride workflow's mode with 'SQUASH'. This is useful mainly for workflows that use 'ITERATIVE' mode, when we want to run a single export with 'SQUASH', maybe to fix an issue. Always use --dry-run before, to test your changes locally.
    --validate-starlarkstringStarlark should be validated prior to execution, but this might break legacy configs. Options are LOOSE, STRICT
    --version-selector-use-cli-refbooleanIf command line ref is to used with a version selector, pass this flag to tell copybara to use it.
    -v, --verbosebooleanVerbose output.
