Git History Tool

Introduction

This is a small tool getting history for a path in a given local git repository and exporting it using RazorTemplates.

The tool gets all the changes between revisions or to a revision of a local git repository and passes the commits to a Razor template which then outputs the result in a given file. The commits can be filtered by a given pat in the repository.

Usage

GitHistory.App.exe [-gitRepo] [-templateFile] [-outputFile] [-endRevision ] [-gitInstallationFolder ]
[-includeMerges] [-pageTitle ] [-pathInRepo ] [-startRevision ] 

To use the tool, you can pass the following arguments:

• gitRepo(or just r) - The local path to the git repository
• templateFile(or just t) - The path to the Razor template file that will be used for transforming the list of commits
• outputFile(or just o) - The path to the file where the result content will be saved
• startRevision(or r or revision) - This argument is optional and is needed if you want to get the changes in a range or to a revision
• endRevision(or just er) - Optional argument that specifies the end revision
• includeMerges(or just im) - Whether or not the merge commits to be included in the output
• gitInstallationFolder(or just gi) - The path to the git executable if it is not set in the Path environment variable
• pathInRepo(or just p) - The relative path inside the local repository where you want to get the changes for
