Re: Reading commit objects

[Chico Sokol <chico.sokol@gmail.com>]

Solved! It was exaclty the problem pointed by Shawn.

Here is the working code:

File dotGit = new File("objects/25/0f67ef017fcb97b5371a302526872cfcadad21");
InflaterInputStream inflaterInputStream = new InflaterInputStream(new
FileInputStream(dotGit));
Integer read = inflaterInputStream.read();
while(read != 0) { //reading the bytes from 'commit <lenght>\0'
    read = inflaterInputStream.read();
    System.out.println((char)read.byteValue());
}
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
IOUtils.copyLarge(inflaterInputStream, os);
System.out.println(new String(os.toByteArray()));

Thank you all!
