Convert Git logs to JSON. The first script (git-log2json.sh) is all you need, the other two files contain only optional bonus features :) UPDATED 2017: Today I would just use https://github.com/tarmstrong/git2json
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Use this one-liner to produce a JSON literal from the Git log:
git log \
--pretty=format:'{%n "commit": "%H",%n "author": "%aN <%aE>",%n "date": "%ad",%n "message": "%f"%n},' \
$@ | \
perl -pe 'BEGIN{print "["}; END{print "]\n"}' | \
perl -pe 's/},]/}]/'
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# OPTIONAL: use this stand-alone shell script to produce a JSON object
# with information similar to git --stat.
#
# You can then easily cross-reference or merge this with the JSON git
# log, since both are keyed on the commit hash, which is unique.
git log \
--numstat \
--format='%H' \
$@ | \
perl -lawne '
if (defined $F[1]) {
print qq#{"insertions": "$F[0]", "deletions": "$F[1]", "path": "$F[2]"},#
} elsif (defined $F[0]) {
print qq#],\n"$F[0]": [#
};
END{print qq#],#}' | \
tail -n +2 | \
perl -wpe 'BEGIN{print "{"}; END{print "}"}' | \
tr '\n' ' ' | \
perl -wpe 's#(]|}),\s*(]|})#$1$2#g' | \
perl -wpe 's#,\s*?}$#}#'
/*
* OPTIONAL: use this Node.js expression to merge the data structures
* created by the two shell scripts above
*/
var gitLog, lstat;
gitLog = require('git-log.json');
lstat = require('git-stat.json');
gitLog.map(function(o){
o.paths = lstat[o.commit];
});
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# OPTIONAL: Use jq to merge the two JSON files.
jq --slurp '.[1] as $logstat | .[0] | map(.paths = $logstat[.commit])' git-log.json git-stat.json
