gitresolver is a resolver that fetches from a local git repository during the get-phase and commits them back at the end of the set-phase. It operates on a temporary copy of the latest version of your file fetched from the repository. If the temporary copy modified, a new commit with the modified version will be created. Local files won't be touched.

## Options

`branch` defines the branch to work on. Default: master `tracking` can be either `object` or `head` (default). if set to `object` a conflict will only occur if the file in the git repository has been updated while you were working on it. `head` will cause a conflict if the `HEAD` commit has been updated. `pull` when present: tells the plugin to fast-forward pull the repository, fails if FF isn't possible. `checkout` when present: tells the plugin to checkout the file.

## Limitations

Currently it only works inside existing git repositories.

## Examples

    kdb mount -R gitresolver /path/to/my/gitrepo/file.ini system/gittest ini shell execute/set='cd /path/to/my/gitrepo/ && git commit --amend'
