Index read:
>>> index = repo.index
>>> index.read()
>>> oid = index['path/to/file'].id # from path to object id
>>> blob = repo[oid] # from object id to object
Iterate over all entries of the index:
>>> for entry in index:
... print entry.path, entry.hex
Index write:
>>> index.add('path/to/file') # git add
>>> del index['path/to/file'] # git rm
>>> index.write() # don't forget to save the changes
>>> entry = pygit2.IndexEntry('README.md', blob_id, blob_filemode)
>>> repo.index.add(entry)
Inspect the status of the repository:
>>> from pygit2 import GIT_STATUS_CURRENT
>>> status = repo.status()
>>> for filepath, flags in status.items():
... if flags != GIT_STATUS_CURRENT:
... print "Filepath %s isn't clean" % filepath
