使用 NodeGit 签出特定的提交

Question

I have a NodeGit repository object, repo , and a string sha code which represents a commit id, commit_id . How can I perform a git checkout of this commit using NodeGit, which would act the same as the command git checkout $commit_id ?

So far, I have tried creating a Reference using the commit id and then using checkoutRef to check out the reference. However, the repository does not change and I get the error Error: the given reference name '<my commit id>' is not valid .

NodeGit.Reference.lookup(repo, commit_id, (reference) => {
    repo.checkoutRef(reference)
});

Thanks for the help.

The only solution I've found so far is:

const commit = await repo.getCommit(commit_id);
await nodegit.Reset.reset(repo, commit, nodegit.Reset.TYPE.HARD);

But it's so slow... Especially for big repositories!
