Gitql is a Git query language.

Reading the code

⚠️ Gitql is my first golang project. If you are a beginner looking for using the project as a guideline (how to organise or make an idiomatic go code), I recommend you polyglot instead.

Requirements

• Go 1.16+

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
• select distinct author from commits where date < '2020-01-01'

Notes:

• Gitql doesn't want to kill git log - it was created just for science! :sweat_smile:
• It's read-only - no deleting, inserting, or updating tables or commits. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
• 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. :neutral_face:
