I would like to get the number of commit of a directory(called module) from a repo(project) in GitPython.
> print("before",modulePath)
> repo = Repo(modulePath)
> print(len(list(repo.iter_commits())))
When I'm trying to print the directory amount of commits, It says the repo is not a valid git Repo.
- before /home/user/project/module
- git.exc.InvalidGitRepositoryError: /home/user/project/module
Any help or idea would be welcome :) Thanks
This is an example code from one of my old projects (not open, so no repository links):
def parse_commit_log(repo, *params):
commit = {}
try:
log = repo.git.log(*params).split("\n")
except git.GitCommandError:
return
for line in log:
if line.startswith(" "):
if not 'message' in commit:
commit['message'] = ""
else:
commit['message'] += "\n"
commit['message'] += line[4:]
elif line:
if 'message' in commit:
yield commit
commit = {}
else:
field, value = line.split(None, 1)
commit[field.strip(":")] = value
if commit:
yield commit
Explanation:
The function expects instance of Repo and same parameters you would pass to git log command. So, usage in your case could look like this:
repo = git.Repo('project_path')
commits = list(parse_commit_log(repo, 'module_dir'))
Internally, repo.git.log is calling git log command. Its output looks sort of like this:
commit <commit1 sha>
Author: User <username@email.tld>
Date: Sun Apr 7 17:08:31 2019 -0400
Commit1 message
commit <commit2 sha>
Author: User2 <username2@email.tld>
Date: Sun Apr 7 17:08:31 2019 -0400
Commit2 message
parse_commit_log parses this output and yields commit messages. You need to add few more lines to get commit sha, author and date, but it should not be too hard.
