Convert your Git log to JSON
Yesterday I presented my topic: "Choosing Git workflows that make sense" to Charlie Arehart's CFMeetup group. If you missed it you can watch it here: http://experts.adobeconnect.com/p3qdsfghenj/ However I was asked if there is anyway to print out the git history. I had never had to do this, so I assumed there would be plenty of tools out there to do that. To my surprise, I have not found much out there. So I modified a git alias that I found and created a ColdFusion page to parse the json into a pretty table.
Unfortunately I have not found a way to output to json all the files changed for each commit as well as the diffs, I will keep looking for that.
.gitConfig changes:
Changelog.cfm:
JSON generated:
The HTML Output the CFML page will generate:
