Figured out a recipe for getting "git log" output as JSON, by converting null-byte-separated values using "jq" https://til.simonwillison.net/jq/git-log-json

@simon does git log support —porcelain as an option? Might be easier to parse. (I’m on my phone so can’t check easily.)

@simon can’t you use JC for that? https://github.com/kellyjonbrazil/jc

@simon Once you've found all the format specifiers to use, it seems simpler to stuff all the formatting into the... format, rather than messing around with NUL splitting?```git log --pretty=format:'{"commit":"%H","author":"%an <%ae>","date":"%ad","message":"%s"}' | jq -s```

@aburka ChatGPT suggested that at first but I didn't like it because of the risk of double quotes in the GitHub values themselves

@acdha I could remember that tool existed but couldn't remember its name to find it!

@acdha I also decided I wanted something without any extra dependencies if possible (I want to use it in GitHub Actions without setting up pip caching)

@simon I see someone else has pointed out JC, but I think many of these recipes are based on a fairly well known gist that has been knocking around for a while. https://github.com/context-driven-testing-toolkit/git-log2json

@simon yeah, never bad to do that - just wanted to mention an option I you weren’t looking for a new project to maintain 😁

In case anyone's interested, here's the full transcript of my ChatGPT session that helped me figure this out - it's longer than I thought it would be!(I share ChatGPT transcripts in private GitHub gists to avoid them being indexed by search engines)https://gist.github.com/simonw/c3b486fa90d7c32a0e8dfb47e151090a

@simon But gist is public indexable. Did I miss something?

@smy20011 not if you create it as a secret gist - it's available to people who know the URL but it's served with a meta robots tag that blocks it from being indexed

@simon reading this I feel like I now know what the rank and file staff on the Enterprise 1701-D do all day 🤔😅

@simon I'm surprised that the map doesn't surround the array manipulation. I would have interpreted what you have as producing just a single item. Clearly need to brush up on my jq!

@simon Sometimes I like using the ASCII "record separator" (`"\x1e"`) for things like that, just because it's fun that it exists. It wouldn't show up visibly either, though…

@simon continuing the conversation started on the bird site here. I pulled your sfpublicworks-tree-removal-notifications repo and ran the first user input from the jq transcript and it still worked just fine. I wonder if it's an OS or shell difference?

@Kestenb have to admit I've lost track of this conversation now - what's the issue we were figuring out here?

@simon No problem. I was asking questions about https://til.simonwillison.net/jq/git-log-json on the bird site. I'm trying to reproduce your 10-page-ish convo with ChatGPT (or was it Playground?). My goal is to re-run some of these chat-whisperings to see how long it takes the model to ingest this new learning and telescope it down from 10 pages to just prompt -> final output.But i'm stuck because everything just works right from the first suggestion from the transcript. I'm not seeing the problematic git log messages that caused the long whisper session
