Git Log app

Gitlog is a svelte frontend only app I use to share my git commit calendars in github format. Gitlog requires a script running from cron updating the git project logs, and an nginx webserver to serve this app and to serve the gitlog files in json format

example: https://de-neef.net/gitlog

Installation

Prepare git-server

Install this script on your git-server. I use git-shell, so should be installed in git-shell-commands directory

#!/bin/sh# gitlog's update_gitlog script, run from cron dailyset -x
BD=/srv/gitlogs
AFTER=${1:-"yesterday 0:00"}
BEFORE=${2:-"today 0:00"}
LOGALL=
umask 022
foriin*.git
do
LOG=$(git --git-dir $i log --all --after="$AFTER" --before="$BEFORE" --pretty=format:%ad --date=short)if [ -n"$LOG" ];then
[ -z"$LOGALL" ] && LOGALL="$LOG"|| LOGALL="$LOGALL\n$LOG"
GD=${i%.git}
FO=$BD/$GD
mkdir -p "$FO"
rm -f $FO/*# cleanup old filesecho -e "$LOG"| sort | uniq -c >>"$FO/git.log"forreadmein`git --git-dir $i ls-tree -r master --name-only | grep -Ei '^(install|readme)\.(txt|md)$'`do
git --git-dir $i archive master $readme| tar -xO >>"$FO/$readme"donefidoneif [ -n"$LOGALL" ];thenecho -e "$LOGALL"| sort | uniq -c >>$BD/git.log
fi# cleanup old gitlogsforiin$BD/*doif [ -d$i ];then
[ !-d$HOME/$i.git ] && rm -rf $ifidoneexit 0

And add cron job:

3 0 *** update_gitlogs >> /tmp/gitlog.output 2>&1

Prepare nginx webserver for serving app and git logs

Add this config to your nginx webserver:

location /gitlog {alias /var/www/localhost/gitlog/;try_files$uri$uri/ =404;location /gitlog/gitlogs { # add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;alias /srv/gitlogs/;autoindex on;autoindex_format json;autoindex_localtime on;}}

Prepare and install this app

Get the app: git clone <git endpoint>/gitlog.git

Install app:

cd gitlog
npm install

Build and cp app to remote host

npm run build
# copy to remote host, I use linux containers (lxd)
tar cvf - public | ssh $SSH_REMOTE"cat > build.tar"
ssh $SSH_REMOTE
lxc file push build.tar $LXC_REMOTE /root/build.tar
lxc exec$LXC_REMOTE sh
cd /var/www/localhost
tar xvf /root/build.tar mv public gitlog
chown -R root.www-data gitlog
chmod -R u+rwX,g+rX gitlog

or in 1 go:

read -p "cp to $LXC_REMOTE via $SSH_REMOTE, continue? " -r -n 1 -t 5; [[ $REPLY =~ ^[Yy]$ ]] && npm run build && tar cvf - public | ssh $SSH_REMOTE "lxc exec $LXC_REMOTE -- sh -c 'cat > /var/www/localhost/public.tar; cd /var/www/localhost; tar xvf public.tar; chown -R root.www-data public; chmod -R u+rwX,g+rX-w,o-rwx public; rm -rf gitlog; mv public gitlog; rm public.tar'"

---

That should be it.
