Delete file based on author name in commit

Question

My code delete just files which parse to Jenkins name in the file. I would like to delete file based on the author (Jenkins) in the last commit. What is the best solution for that?

def changelogPath = "C:\\test"
def PackID = "test"

def delete(String changelogPath, String PackID) {
    String folderPath = "$changelogPath"+ "\\" + "$PackID"
    new File(folderPath).eachFile(FileType.FILES) { file ->
      if (file.name.contains('Jenkins')) file.delete()
}

delete(changelogPath, PackID)

In order to find all files that have been changed with a certain commit, you need a diff of that commit with its predecessor.

You can let JGit compute a list of DiffEntries like this:

ObjectReader reader = git.getRepository().newObjectReader();
CanonicalTreeParser oldTreeIter = new CanonicalTreeParser();
ObjectId oldTree = git.getRepository().resolve( "HEAD^{tree}" ); 
oldTreeIter.reset( reader, oldTree );
CanonicalTreeParser newTreeIter = new CanonicalTreeParser();
ObjectId newTree = git.getRepository().resolve( "HEAD~1^{tree}" );
newTreeIter.reset( reader, newTree );

DiffFormatter df = new DiffFormatter( new ByteArrayOutputStream() );
df.setRepository( git.getRepository() );
List<DiffEntry> entries = df.scan( oldTreeIter, newTreeIter );

Each DiffEntry has a path that denotes the file which was added, changed, or deleted. The path is relative to the root of the working directory of the repository. Actually, there is an oldPath and newPath, see the JavaDoc which one to use when.
