I needed to remember who was working with me on a certain project over the last year. I had some trouble remembering, because this last year has been crazy personally, and the project overlapped a couple years. All the years and months and days were running together in my brain.
Fortunately, we have git logs, but it's not straightforward. I came up with this set of commands to help with the task:
git log --pretty=format:"%an" | sort | uniq | awk '{system("git log -1 --author="$1 " --pretty=format:\"%ad%x09%an\""); print "\r"}' | sort -k5n -k2M -k3n
Here's what we're doing:
- get all of the user names in the git logs
- sort them lexically
- remove repeats (sort -u could have replaced these)
- do another git log for each user, but print out their last commit, and format it to be just the date and their name separated by a tab.
- Sort by the columns (year, month, date)
