GitDiffGenerator

Generates git diff file from given repositories. By default it generates from last 7 days till now. Can be run on Windows and Linux (from v2.0).

How to execute

There are 2 ways of execution this program:

• java -jar with params
• java -jar + application.properties at the same location as *.jar file

java -jar with params

java -jar Gipter.jar author="Anakin Skywalker" itemPath="c:\\Path\\to\\git\\diff\\item" 
projectPath="c:\\Path\\to\\git\\project1,c:\\Path\\to\\git\\project" 
gitBashPath="C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"

java -jar + application.properties at at the same location as jar file

If there are application.properties file at the same location as your jar file then program can be run as follows:

java -jar Gipter.jar

Sample application.properties:

author=Anakin Skywalker
itemPath=c:\\Path\\to\\git\\diff\\item
projectPath=c:\\Git\\Project1,c:\\Git\\Project2
gitBashPath=C:\\Path\\to\\Git\\bash.exe

Tip

If one runs program with parameters and application.properties at the same time, then configuration from file has higher priority. Generated file name by default is String.format("%s-week-%d.txt", now.getMonth().name(), weekNumber).toLowerCase(). It can be switched to String.format("diff-%s-%s.txt", startDate, endDate) by setting any value to parameter itemFileName.
