How can I use git log --pretty=format"" to output a git log in this format

timestamp|username|type|file

Answer 1

Am i correct in assuming that you are trying to get this format so you can have gource parse it ?

if so, check out : https://github.com/whitewhidow/live-git-for-gource/blob/master/git-live.sh

wich already does this, also, just check the code, so you can figure out how to get the correct format, in case you needed it for something else ..

Answer 2

Crude, but gets the job done

git log --name-status --format='%ct|%an' hulu.sh |
  sed 'N;N;s/\n/|/;s///;s/\t/|/'

• append 2 lines to pattern space
• replace first newline with |
• remove second newline
• replace tab with |
