glg

Get parsed git log data easily for analysis

Install

glg needs node >= 6.x.x

$ yarn add glg
# or npm install glg --save 

Usage

This example uses async/await, but you can simply use Promise.

const glg = require('glg');
 
(async () => {
  const results: Array<Commit> = await glg(process.cwd());
 
  // do something
})();

By default glg will use #~#^# as commit separator and ^^^ as commit info separator. If for some reason your commits contain those characters, it will mess up the parsing. You can change it through 2nd arguments

const options = {
  // separator between commits
  separator: 'xxxx',
  // separator between commit information in single commit
  infoSeparator: 'yyyy',
};
const results = await glg(process.cwd(), options)

By default glg will only provides a few info inside a single commit. You can also provides custom commit data map if you want more information on your git log by using commitDataMap option

// These are default commit data map
// It maps object property that will be returned in array of result
// and uses its value to generate data, for example '%h' is used to retrieve
// commit hash. More information can be found in `git log --format`
const commitDataMap = {
  commitHash: "%h",
  authorEmail: "%ae",
  authorName: "%an",
  subject: "%s",
  createdDate: "%ad",
  publishedDate: "%cd"
};
const results = glg(process.cwd(), { commitDataMap });

Type Definition

type Commit = CommitDataMap & {
  changes: Array<Change>,
};
 
type Change = BasicChange | RenameChange;
 
type BasicChange = {
  type: string,
  path: string,
};
 
type RenameChange = {
  type: string,
  path: string,
  from: string,
};

CLI

$ yarn global add glg
# or npm install -g glg 
 
$ glg ~/git/directory
# or npx glg ~/git/directory
