Helicase

Helicase is a Library for Unravelling and Parsing Git Histories

Usage

To use Helicase create a class in Python which inherits from the Helicase class. From there you can define your custom analyze() function and then call the traverse() method when you are ready to iterate through the commit history.

Without Checking Out The Repository

from helicase import Helicase
from datetime import *

class PrintCommits(Helicase):
    def analyze(self, commit):
        print(commit.hash)


dt = datetime(2021, 6, 18)
now = datetime.now()

pc = PrintCommits()
pc.traverse("../../Spack/spack", since=dt, to=now)

Checking Out The Repository

from helicase import Helicase
from datetime import *

class PrintCommits(Helicase):
    def analyze(self, commit):
        print(commit.hash)
        result = subprocess.run(["../../Spack/spack/bin/spack", "--version"], capture_output=True, text=True)
        print(result)


dt = datetime(2021, 6, 18)
now = datetime.now()

pc = PrintCommits()
pc.traverse("../../Spack/spack", since=dt, to=now, checkout=True)
