🍩 What is Gource-Tools?


Gource Tools is a comprehensive toolkit designed specifically for Gource. Its primary function is to streamline the process of downloading multiple repositories, generating log files, and merging them into a single, large file named ACombinedLog.txt. Additionally, Gource Tools automates the downloading of avatars from Gravatar. This toolkit is particularly useful for managing large-scale projects with numerous distinct repositories.

⚙️ Requirements:

  • git , gource & sed for basic usage (Explore only, you won't be able to make videos)
  • Optional: FFmpeg for videos
  • Optional: imagemagick & perl cpan with cpan install Parallel::ForkManager for avatars.
