Convert Git logs to JSON. The first script (git-log2json.sh) is all you need, the other two files contain only optional bonus features 😀THIS GIST NOW HAS A FULL GIT REPO: https://github.com/context-driven-testing-toolkit/git-log2json
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Use this one-liner to produce a JSON literal from the Git log:
git log \
--pretty=format:'{%n "commit": "%H",%n "author": "%aN <%aE>",%n "date": "%ad",%n "message": "%f"%n},' \

perl -pe 'BEGIN{print "["}; END{print "]\n"}' | \
