Reading the code

⚠️ This project was created in 2014 as my first go project. Use this project to learn about how to structure go code is not a good idea. You can read a much modern code from mine here or help me guiding this one to the right direction.

Requirements

How to install

You can access the releases page and just grab the binary. If you want to compile itself just run go build ..

Examples

gitql "your query"
or
git ql "your query"

As an example, this is the commits table:

commits
author
author_email
committer
committer_email
hash
date
message
full_message

(see more tables here)

Example Commands

select hash, author, message from commits limit 3
select hash, message from commits where 'hell' in full_message or 'Fuck' in full_message
select hash, message, author_email from commits where author = 'cloudson'
select date, message from commits where date < '2014-04-10'
select message from commits where 'hell' in message order by date asc

Notes:

Gitql doesn't want to kill git log - it was created just for science! 😅
It's read-only - no deleting, inserting, or updating tables or commits. 😝
The default limit is 10 rows.
It's inspired by textql.
Gitql is a compiler/interpreter instead of just read a sqlite database with all commits, tags, etc. because we would need to sync the tables every time before run sql and we would have sqlite bases for each repository. 😐
