Purpose

** This is a basic implementation using shell scripting to extract git log output in JSON format **

Sample execution of the script:

  [rajiv@localhost gitNinja]$ ./gitlog2json.sh <full-path-of-a-local-git-repo>

Example:

[rajiv@localhost gitNinja]$ vi gitlog2json.sh 
[rajiv@localhost gitNinja]$ ./gitlog2json.sh /home/rajiv/gitNinja/sampleRepos/spring-data-keyvalue-examples/
RepoDir=/home/rajiv/gitNinja/sampleRepos/spring-data-keyvalue-examples/
baseDir=/home/rajiv/gitNinja
Changed dir to /home/rajiv/gitNinja/sampleRepos/spring-data-keyvalue-examples
repoName[spring-data-keyvalue-examples]
repoFile[/home/rajiv/gitNinja/output_gitlog-spring-data-keyvalue-examples.json]
Generated Json file : /home/rajiv/gitNinja/output_gitlog-spring-data-keyvalue-examples.json

		Execution Time [0hrs 0min 7sec] 

[rajiv@localhost gitNinja]$ 

Sample output files are in the code base:

• output_gitlog-GitLogNinja.json
• output_gitlog-movie_catalog.json
• output_gitlog-spring-data-keyvalue-examples.json

Limitations:

- 1. It's configured to extract commit of only remote branches(commits which have been pushed to remote).
- 2. Only one git repo's info can be extracted at a time.

Pending items

• improve cmdline arguments parsing using getopts
• accept more cmd line argument like destination location for output, etc
• support output as csv
• add scripts to push commits json objects to elastic search
