Export GIT LOG into an CSV File
Go to your GIT repo folder –
In Linux, run
1 | git log --oneline | tr "\r" " > ~/gitlog.csv |
In Windows, run
1 | git log --oneline > c:/temp/gitlog.csv |
GIT also gives your the control on how to format the log output using pretty option, like below:
1 | git log --pretty=format:%h,%an,%ae,%ad,%s |
Note: --pretty and --oneline cannot be used at the same time.
This prints the log in the format of (hash [abbreviated], author name, author email, author date, subject)
To see the full list of format options: git help log
Some more samples:
1 | git log --no-merges --since='mm-dd-yyyy' --pretty=format:%h,%an,%ae,%ad,%s > c:\dev\history.csv |
You can also quote the values directly in the format -
1 | git log --pretty=format:'"%h","%an","%ae","%ad","%s"' --date=iso-strict |
so it’s clear when there’re commas in the memo
