NAME

Git::Repository::Plugin::Log - Add a log() method to Git::Repository

SYNOPSIS

# load the plugin
use Git::Repository 'Log';

my $r = Git::Repository->new();

# get all log objects
my @logs = $r->log(qw( --since=yesterday ));

# get an iterator
my $iter = $r->log(qw( --since=yesterday ));
while ( my $log = $iter->next() ) {
    ...;
}

DESCRIPTION

This module adds a new method to Git::Repository.

METHOD

log

# iterator
my $iter = $r->log( @args );

# all Git::Repository::Log objects obtained from the log
my @logs = $r->log( @args );

Run git log with the given arguments.

In scalar context, returns a Git::Repository::Log::Iterator object, which can return Git::Repository::Log objects on demand.

In list context, returns the full list Git::Repository::Log objects. Note that this can be very memory-intensive.

See Git::Repository::Log::Iterator's documentation for details about how parameters are handled.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many thanks to Aristotle Pagaltzis who requested a log() method in the first place, and for very interesting conversations on the topic.
