I am trying to create a dictionary with elements in the format filename: timestamp in yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss . This should recursively include all subfolders and files in the repo . I came across ths piece of code :
import git
repo = git.Repo("./repo")
tree = repo.tree()
for blob in tree:
commit = repo.iter_commits(paths=blob.path, max_count=1).next()
print(blob.path, commit.committed_date)
However, this includes only the main sub folders. How to include sub folders and files recursively
Note: The following solution by Roland here does not include sub folders, only files.Also I need to be in the path where git repo is downloaded and then run the script by giving its absolute path
Get time of last commit for Git repository files via Python?
This works for me
http://gitpython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorial.html#the-tree-object
As per the doc As trees allow direct access to their intermediate child entries only, use the traverse method to obtain an iterator to retrieve entries recursively
It creates a generator object which does the work
print tree.traverse()
<generator object traverse at 0x0000000004129DC8>
d=dict()
for blob in tree.traverse():
commit=repo.iter_commits(paths=blob.path).next()
d[blob.path]=commit.committed_date
