All Implemented Interfaces:

Callable<Iterable<RevCommit>>

public class LogCommand
extends GitCommand<Iterable<RevCommit>>

A class used to execute a Log command. It has setters for all supported options and arguments of this command and a call() method to finally execute the command. Each instance of this class should only be used for one invocation of the command (means: one call to call())

Examples (git is a Git instance):

Get newest 10 commits, starting from the current branch:

 ObjectId head = repository.resolve(Constants.HEAD);

 Iterable<RevCommit> commits = git.log().add(head).setMaxCount(10).call();
 

Get commits only for a specific file:

 git.log().add(head).addPath("dir/filename.txt").call();

protected LogCommand(Repository repo)

Constructor for LogCommand.

Parameters:

repo - the Repository

Method Detail

call

public Iterable<RevCommit> call()
                         throws GitAPIException,
                                NoHeadException

Execute the command

Executes the Log command with all the options and parameters collected by the setter methods (e.g. add(AnyObjectId), not(AnyObjectId), ..) of this class. Each instance of this class should only be used for one invocation of the command. Don't call this method twice on an instance.

Specified by:

call in interface Callable<Iterable<RevCommit>>

Specified by:

call in class GitCommand<Iterable<RevCommit>>

Throws:

GitAPIException

NoHeadException

add

public LogCommand add(AnyObjectId start)
               throws MissingObjectException,
                      IncorrectObjectTypeException

Mark a commit to start graph traversal from.

Parameters:

start - the id of the commit to start from

Returns:

this

Throws:

MissingObjectException - the commit supplied is not available from the object database. This usually indicates the supplied commit is invalid, but the reference was constructed during an earlier invocation to RevWalk.lookupCommit(AnyObjectId).

IncorrectObjectTypeException - the object was not parsed yet and it was discovered during parsing that it is not actually a commit. This usually indicates the caller supplied a non-commit SHA-1 to RevWalk.lookupCommit(AnyObjectId).

JGitInternalException - a low-level exception of JGit has occurred. The original exception can be retrieved by calling Throwable.getCause(). Expect only IOException's to be wrapped. Subclasses of IOException (e.g. MissingObjectException) are typically not wrapped here but thrown as original exception

RevWalk.markStart(RevCommit)

not

public LogCommand not(AnyObjectId start)
               throws MissingObjectException,
                      IncorrectObjectTypeException

Same as --not start, or ^start

Parameters:

start - a AnyObjectId

Returns:

this

Throws:

MissingObjectException - the commit supplied is not available from the object database. This usually indicates the supplied commit is invalid, but the reference was constructed during an earlier invocation to RevWalk.lookupCommit(AnyObjectId).

IncorrectObjectTypeException - the object was not parsed yet and it was discovered during parsing that it is not actually a commit. This usually indicates the caller supplied a non-commit SHA-1 to RevWalk.lookupCommit(AnyObjectId).

JGitInternalException - a low-level exception of JGit has occurred. The original exception can be retrieved by calling Throwable.getCause(). Expect only IOException's to be wrapped. Subclasses of IOException (e.g. MissingObjectException) are typically not wrapped here but thrown as original exception

addRange

public LogCommand addRange(AnyObjectId since,
                           AnyObjectId until)
                    throws MissingObjectException,
                           IncorrectObjectTypeException

Adds the range since..until

Parameters:

since - a AnyObjectId object.

until - a AnyObjectId object.

Returns:

this

Throws:

MissingObjectException - the commit supplied is not available from the object database. This usually indicates the supplied commit is invalid, but the reference was constructed during an earlier invocation to RevWalk.lookupCommit(AnyObjectId).

IncorrectObjectTypeException - the object was not parsed yet and it was discovered during parsing that it is not actually a commit. This usually indicates the caller supplied a non-commit SHA-1 to RevWalk.lookupCommit(AnyObjectId).

JGitInternalException - a low-level exception of JGit has occurred. The original exception can be retrieved by calling Throwable.getCause(). Expect only IOException's to be wrapped. Subclasses of IOException (e.g. MissingObjectException) are typically not wrapped here but thrown as original exception

all

public LogCommand all()
               throws IOException

Add all refs as commits to start the graph traversal from.

Returns:

this

Throws:

IOException - the references could not be accessed

See Also:

add(AnyObjectId)

addPath

public LogCommand addPath(String path)

Show only commits that affect any of the specified paths. The path must either name a file or a directory exactly and use / (slash) as separator. Note that regex expressions or wildcards are not supported.

Parameters:

path - a repository-relative path (with / as separator)

Returns:

this

setSkip

public LogCommand setSkip(int skip)

Skip the number of commits before starting to show the commit output.

Parameters:

skip - the number of commits to skip

Returns:

this

setMaxCount

public LogCommand setMaxCount(int maxCount)

Limit the number of commits to output.

Parameters:

maxCount - the limit

Returns:

this

setRevFilter

public LogCommand setRevFilter(RevFilter aFilter)

Set a filter for the LogCommand.

Parameters:

aFilter - the filter that this instance of LogCommand should use
