I have written a python script that iterates through the last 10 commits in my master branch. Master branch is restricted from commit and can only be merged to.
Consider the below scenario.
Branch 1 has a commit done at 10.00 am with commits 1 & 2 Branch 2 has a commit done at 11.00 am with commits 3 & 4.
I merged branch 2 before branch 1 to master.
Now when I print the commits while iterating it still prints 4 & 3 followed by 2 & 1.
I need to iterate in the order of latest commit merged to master first. Ie. I need it as 2, 1, 4 & 3. Is this possible?
The sort options for git log are:
--date-order--author-date-order--topo-order--reverseIn your case --topo-order will do the job:
> git log --topo-order --no-merges --format="%ad -- %s"
