Answer 1

combining all answers above, here are my 2 cents in case anyone is looking:

echo "commit id,author,date,comment,changed files,lines added,lines deleted" > res.csv 
git log --since='last year'  --date=local --all --pretty="%x40%h%x2C%an%x2C%ad%x2C%x22%s%x22%x2C" --shortstat | tr "\n" " " | tr "@" "\n" >> res.csv
sed -i 's/ files changed//g' res.csv
sed -i 's/ file changed//g' res.csv
sed -i 's/ insertions(+)//g' res.csv
sed -i 's/ insertion(+)//g' res.csv
sed -i 's/ deletions(-)//g' res.csv
sed -i 's/ deletion(-)//g' res.csv

and either save it into git-logs-into-csv.sh file or just copy/paste into console.

I think it's relatively self-explaining but just in case:

• --all takes logs from all branches
• --since limits the number of commits we want to look at
• --shortstat - to get some idea what was done in the commit
