# jc.parsers.git\_log

jc - JSON Convert `git log` command output parser

Can be used with the following format options:
- `oneline`
- `short`
- `medium`
- `full`
- `fuller`

Additional options supported:
- `--stat`
- `--shortstat`

The `epoch` calculated timestamp field is naive. (i.e. based on the
local time of the system the parser is run on)

The `epoch_utc` calculated timestamp field is timezone-aware and is
only available if the timezone field is UTC.

Usage (cli):

    $ git log | jc --git-log

or

    $ jc git log

Usage (module):

    import jc
    result = jc.parse('git_log', git_log_command_output)

Schema:

    [
      {
        "commit":               string,
        "author":               string/null,
        "author_email":         string/null,
        "date":                 string,
        "epoch":                integer,  # [0]
        "epoch_utc":            integer,  # [1]
        "commit_by":            string/null,
        "commit_by_email":      string/null,
        "commit_by_date":       string,
        "message":              string,
        "stats" : {
          "files_changed":      integer,
          "insertions":         integer,
          "deletions":          integer,
          "files": [
                                string
          ]
        }
      }
    ]

    [0] naive timestamp if "date" field is parsable, else null
    [1] timezone aware timestamp available for UTC, else null
