How to get the repository names for a particular selected branch using LibGit2Sharp library

We are using LibGit2Sharp library to process the commits in Github.

Issue: We need to get all the repository names for the selected branch in Github through LibGit2Sharp library.

Which class will be having the collection of repository names for the particular branch.

We searched through the below LibGit2Sharp documentation but we did not get any idea.

http://www.nudoq.org/#!/Projects/LibGit2Sharp

Can anyone please propose any solution.

I am going to take a guess and assume that you mean the following:

Try to list all the files and directories for a given repository.

This would essentially mean that you want to run the command: git ls-files

I have referred the following link : https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/wiki/Git-ls-files

The following code snip should do the trick:

using System;
using LibGit2Sharp;

class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using (var repo = new Repository(@"C:\Repo"))
        {
            foreach (IndexEntry e in repo.Index)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", e.Path, e.StageLevel);
            }
        }

        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

I would also like to add that, if you know the git command, then you can find the corresponding api on the github project wiki for libgit2sharp:

Hope this helps.

Best.

Disclaimer:

In the following answer, I assume that you mean:

We need to get all the branch names for the selected repository in Github through LibGit2Sharp library.

Use the Branches property of the Repository Class

The following program with use the Repository.Branches property and then iterate on it:

class Program
{
    // Tested with LibGit2Sharp version 0.21.0.176
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Load the repository with the path (Replace E:\mono2 with a valid git path)
        Repository repository = new Repository(@"E:\mono2");
        foreach (var branch in repository.Branches)
        {
            // Display the branch name
            System.Console.WriteLine(branch.Name);
        }
        System.Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

The output of the program will display something like that:

origin/mono-4.0.0-branch 
origin/mono-4.0.0-branch-ServiceModelFix
upstream/mono-4.0.0-branch-c5sr2

If you need something else like the Remote or the UpstreamBranchCanonicalName of a branch, you have the related property.
