Ggit.Repository.create_index_entry_for_path

### Method

# Ggit Repositorycreate_index_entry_for_path

#### Declaration [src]

    GgitIndexEntry*
    ggit_repository_create_index_entry_for_path (
      GgitRepository* repository,
      const gchar* path,
      GgitOId* id,
      GError** error
    )

#### Description [src]

Create a new index entry. When `path` is not `NULL`, the path of the returned entry (#ggit_index_entry_get_path) is set to `path`. The specified path can be either absolute or relative. In the case of an absolute path, the path must reside within the working directory of `repository`. The file related fields of the returned entry are also queried from this path (if the file exists).

If `id` is not `NULL`, then the id of the returned entry is set to `id` (see #ggit_index_entry_get_id) which could point to a blob (for a file) or a tree (for a directory).

#### Parameters

`path` | `const gchar*`
| A path.
| The argument can be `NULL`.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function.
| The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string.
`id` | `GgitOId`
| A `GgitOId`.
| The argument can be `NULL`.
| The data is owned by the caller of the function.
`error` | `GError **`
| The return location for a `GError*`, or `NULL`.

#### Return value

Returns: | `GgitIndexEntry`
| A `GgitIndexEntry` or `NULL` when an error occurred.
| The caller of the method takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it.
| The return value can be `NULL`.
