git-fetch-commits 0.1.0

A cool little tool for pulling commit data from a git repository
git-fetch-commits-0.1.0 is not a library.

Git Fetch Commits

Just a cool tool to point at a git repo and return a JSON formatted summary of all commits, including file names, commit messages, timestamp and some basic change metrics.

Maybe a handy tool if you wanted to perform large scale analysis of commit history across multiple git repositories.

Usage

# Compile the project
$ cargo build

# Run
$ cargo run <remote_url_of_repo>

Outputs

JSON output is directed to stdout, whereas progress & logging directed to stderr.

Caveats

  • Only supports remote repos for now. Probably need a switch to support local / filesystem type repos.

Git Authentication

Currently supports SSL Agent based auth as well as Plaintext auth.
