I am trying to access the commit history of a single file as in:
git log --follow -- <filename> I have to use gitpython, so what I am doing now is:
import git g = git.Git('repo_dir') hexshas = g.log('--pretty=%H','--follow','--',filename).split('\n') then I build commit objects:
repo = git.Repo('repo_dir') commits = [repo.rev_parse(c) for c in r] Is there a way to do it in a more gitpython-ic way? I tried both commit.iter_parents() and commit.iter_items(), but they both rely on git-rev-list, so they don't have a --follow option.

The most basic and powerful tool to do this is the git log command. By default, with no arguments, git log lists the commits made in that repository in reverse chronological order; that is, the most recent commits show up first.
`git log` command is used to view the commit history and display the necessary information of the git repository. This command displays the latest git commits information in chronological order, and the last commit will be displayed first.
On GitHub.com, you can access your project history by selecting the commit button from the code tab on your project. Locally, you can use git log . The git log command enables you to display a list of all of the commits on your current branch. By default, the git log command presents a lot of information all at once.
For example,
With range time:
g = git.Git("C:/path/to/your/repo") loginfo = g.log('--since=2013-09-01','--author=KIM BASINGER','--pretty=tformat:','--numstat') print loginfo Output:
3 2 path/in/your/solutions/some_file.cs You can see the added lines, removed lines and the file with these changes.

I'd suggest you to use PyDriller instead (it uses GitPython internally). Much easier to use:
for commit in RepositoryMining("path_to_repo", filepath="here_the_file").traverse_commits(): # here you have the commit object print(commit.hash) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
