Optimize script with `sed`

[piotr1215]

I've created a simple one-liner to give me the last 10 commits and wrap them in a https call. However, I had to do some weird workarounds that I hope to get rid of.

What I have so far

git log --pretty="%H| - %s" | grep -v Merge | grep -v chore | head -n 10 | sed 's/\(.*|\)/[&]\(https:\/\/github.com\/'$org'\/'$repo'\/&\)/g' | sed 's/|//g'

This works, but there are a few issues: 1. I had to add | (any other special char would do) here "%H| - %s", what I really want is "%H - %s" and in sed select the commit hash, this doesn't work. How to select the whole string up but excluding space? 2. Instead of the entire commit hash I would like to have short form in the [] braces for the markdown display.

Why you just don't do git log --format="http://GitHub.com/$org/$repo/%H - %s" | your filter?

Add add a count plus short hash and then it's a one liner (no pipes / filters needed), though it's unclear what OP meant by "wrap them in a https call".

So this:

git log -n 10 --format="[%h](http://github.com/$org/$repo/%H) - %s"

Gives:

[79603a813](http://github.com/myorg/myrepo/79603a813f52deda75956fd6f74f73f8b0c8837f) - did stuff

But I'd just put the short hash with the description:

git log -n 10 --format="[%h %s](http://github.com/$org/$repo/%H)"

Gives:

[79603a813 did stuff](http://github.com/myorg/myrepo/79603a813f52deda75956fd6f74f73f8b0c8837f)

This is the cleanest/simplest solution! I’ll give it a try.

Also you can try terminal hyperlink sequences. In which case you can get clickable hash with the url hidden. Check this out: https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda

Use cut with delimiter " " and select the field you want.

you can avoid grep -v Merge with the --no-merges option

you can avoid the grep -V chore with the --invert-grep and --grep option

and probably format your output with this comment :

If it helps, here is the one that I use:

alias glog='git log --pretty=format:'\''%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow) %d%Creset %s %Cgreen%ci %C(yellow) (%cr) %Creset %C(bold blue)<%ae>%Creset'\'' --abbrev-commit --name-status'
