You can view more examples in the example folder.

Possible errors:

stdout maxBuffer exceeded

Reported here.

If you get this error it means that the git process doesn't have enough memory.

Every function has an additional option: maxBuffer.

gulp.task('pull', function(){
  git.pull('origin', 'master', {args: '--rebase', maxBuffer: Infinity}, function (err) {
    if (err) throw err;
  });
});

The command line is too long.

Reported here.

If the git add command exceeds 8191 characters on Windows you will get this error.

The add function has an additional option: maxFiles.

gulp.task('add', function(){
  return gulp.src('./git-test/*')
    .pipe(git.add({maxFiles: 8}));
});
