git2json

• This is my quick but very clean approach to get git logs as JSON.

• Existing solutions all break when special characters are in commit messages or author names, this one does not.

• I don't want to re-implement git or use a re-implementation, the standard git commandline is good enough.

• it is extensible using plugins, so the transformation can be fine tuned to your projects need.

• check out https://github.com/blecher-at/gitline/ for the intended usecase

Installation

• install node.js
• clone git2json repo
• go to the git2json directory and run "npm link"
• you can now use it by typing "git json" in any repo directory.
