GitLogParser

Python script to parse 'git log'

Usage

Script is intented to be used via commandline. Depending on the commandine arguments it can either parse a single directory (-dir), or every repository within the given directory (-mDir). Each option needs either a full or relative route to the directory.

> gitlogparser -dir ./yourRepo
> gitlogparser -dir /home/something/somewhere/yourRepo
> gitlogparser -mDir /home/dirWithMultipleRepos
> gitlogparser -mdir ..

From the mined data a json file will be created. If only a single directory was mined the json's name will be logdata_new.json, but if -mDir was given, each created file will be named after the mined repository in the following manner: logdata_YourMinedRepo.json

If the -GHT argument is specified, the commit diff-s (line/file changes) will also be mined. This is optional, since it takes a while, and requires a GitHub access token.

The console will only display errors. In the case of a succesfull execution the files will be created in the same directory where the gitlogparser command was issued.

commit 9f6debef550a3a30e5c6b422115f869733bc9431
Author: Mosolygó <[email protected]>
Date:   Fri Feb 28 15:56:59 2020 +0100

	Added the ability to choose repo directory
	
	argParser in a temporary place
	
	GitLogParser class slightly modified, so it can correctly read the new input

commit bfffe073ed7d98ae4be7e15968d16fa85e1ead62
Author: Gábor Antal <[email protected]>
Date:   Tue Sep 3 17:07:34 2019 +0200

	Reimplemented gitLogParse.py
	
	In this commit, classes are introduced in order to ease parsing
	git commits. Corresponding objects created after parsing the log file.
	These objects are then rewritten into a usable, automatizable structure.
