git cloc history

Command line tool for generating CSV of lines of code history for a repository.

You must have cloc installed and on your PATH.

Building

To build, run the project in SBT

$ cd /path/to/git-cloc-history
$ sbt
> universal:packageBin

This should generate target/universal/git-cloc-history-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip

Running the Application##

Unzip the artifact and you'll find it contains bin and lib directories:

$ unzip target/universal/git-cloc-history-0.1-SNAPSHOT.zip
$ l -al target/universal/git-cloc-history-0.1-SNAPSHOT
>> bin lib

Use the executable in the bin directory apporopriate for your system:

$ target/universal/git-cloc-history-0.1-SNAPSHOT/bin/git-cloc-history [args]

Command Line Options

By default, the application assumes you want cloc history for the current branch in the current directory.

Run the executable without any arguments and you will get a listing of the available options and defaults.

Tip: create a symbolic link to the executable for easier use

For convenience, I have a symbolic link to the executable in my ~/bin directory (which is loaded to my PATH):

$ ln -s target/universal/git-cloc-history-0.1-SNAPSHOT/bin/git-cloc-history ~/bin/git-cloc

Assuming ~/bin is on your PATH and git-cloc-history.sh is executable, you can call it from anywhere.

$ cd ~/gitrepos/somerepo
$ git-cloc
CLOC history successfully written to ~/gitrepos/somerepo/cloc-history.csv
$ cat cloc-history.csv # this is the output CSV file
