Timeline

Timeline is a command line tool for generating timeline data from git repositories. It is still very much a work in progress - I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it could be better.

Timeline is inspired by Jacob Kristhammar and Rickard Böttcher's work on Tornado

Usage

Usage: timeline [options] command
    -o, --output FILE                Specify the output file name
    -f, --filter FILTER              Specify the regular expression to filter the output with
    -r, --revisions REVISIONS        The git revisions to use (<since>..<until>)
    -n, --number NUMBER              Limit the number of revisions to show
    -b, --branch BRANCH              The git branch
    -v, --version                    Print the version number
    -h, --help                       Display this help message

Examples

timeline -f "\d+" "wc -l index.html"
