🚀 How to quickly view the number of commits?

In the root directory of your project, run:

git shortlog -s -n -e

🏭 How to create a local report with using library?

NodeJS:

npx assayo

PHP:

composer require bakhirev/assayo
vendor/bin/assayo

The script will create a folder ./assayo with a report about repository:

./assayo/index.html - report
./assayo/log.txt    - information from git

If you do not have NodeJS/PHP , see the items "How to download data from git?" and "How to view the report?"

‍🎭 How to concat authors?

In the root directory of your project, you need to create a .mailmap file. Example of the contents of the file:

Alex B <alex@mail.uk>
Alex B <alex@mail.uk> <alex@gov.tk>
Alex B <alex@mail.uk> <bakhirev@ya.kz>
Alex B <alex@mail.uk> <man64@yahoo.com>

Read more about the format of this file you can here.

📤 How to export data from git?

For online viewing

In the root directory of your project run:

git --no-pager log --raw --numstat --oneline --all --reverse --date=iso-strict --pretty=format:"%ad>%aN>%aE>%s" > log.txt

For offline viewing

git --no-pager log --raw --numstat --oneline --all --reverse --date=iso-strict --pretty=format:"%ad>%aN>%aE>%s" | sed -e 's/\\/\\\\/g' | sed -e 's/`/"/g' | sed -e 's/^/report.push(\`/g' | sed 's/$/\`\);/g' | sed 's/\$/_/g' > log.txt

Git will create a file log.txt. This file contains data for show a report. The difference between the online and offline format is the presence of a wrapper for strings. The offline format will be pulled up like a js file if you just opened /build/index.html

If you use PowerShell in Windows

By default, the output encoding may not match UTF-8 and the resulting log file will be unreadable. Before saving the log, you can change the encoding with the command.

[Console]::OutputEncoding = [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8

or open a saved file and manually change the encoding to UTF-8.

How to view the report?

📈 Using website

• go to the website;
• click the “Demo” button;
• drop the log.txt file into the browser window;

Use the library (NodeJS)

• run npx assayo
• open ./assayo/index.html

Use the library (PHP)

• run composer require bakhirev/assayo
• run vendor/bin/assayo
• open ./assayo/index.html

Use source code

• download this repository git clone https://github.com/bakhirev/assayo.git;
• drop the log.txt file to the /build folder;
• run /build/index.html;
• or drop the /build folder to your repository (where the log.txt is located). You can change the name. For example, from /build to /report. In this case, it is important that the log.txt file is generated by the command for offline viewing.

🏭 How to rebuild the HTML report from source code?

• download this repository git clone https://github.com/bakhirev/assayo.git
• run npm install
• run npm run build:local
• the new HTML build will be in the /build folder

🗃️ How to view a report on a group of microservices?

• generate for each microservice file log.txt (log-1.txt, log-2.txt, log-3.txt and etc.) You can do this manually, or use the Assayo Crawler module for automatic log collection;
• see “How to view an online report?”. At the last step, drag all the files at once into the browser window.
• see “How to see a report offline?”. At the second step, drag all microservice files (log-1.txt, log-2.txt, log-3.txt and etc.) to the report folder (/build).

🎨 How to brand the interface?

You can create your own interface theme. Options:

• Title. You can set default document title in the URL parameter title. Example: ?title=You Company
• Visual theme. To do this, you need to prepare a CSS file with new styles and specify its URL in the theme parameter. Example: ?theme=//company.com/some.css. You can use class names as selectors. Most of them do not change in new versions.
• Language. You can set language in the URL parameter lang. Example: ?lang=es

📝 How to sign commits?

Follow the Conventional Commits 1.0.0. Example:

JIRA-1234 feat(profile): Added avatar for user 

• task number in the task tracker (JIRA-1234)
• type of work (feat, fix, style, refactor, test, doc и т.д.)
• feature (profile - new page on site or new function, use one (two) short wordor an abbreviation)
• what problem were solved (Added avatar for user)

👮 How to add checking for commit message?

Use file commit-msg

1. Create file commit-msg in folder .git/hooks/
2. Add this text in file:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
if ! grep -iqE "(JIRA-[0-9]{1,5})(\s)(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|test|chore)((\([a-z0-9_-]{1,}\)){0,})(:\s)([a-z]{1,})" "$1"; then
   echo "Need commit message like: JIRA-12 fix(profile): some text. Read Semantic Commit Messages" >&2
   exit 1
fi

Use package pre-commit

1. Add in file package.json property commit-msg:

  ...
  "commit-msg": {
    "regex": "(JIRA-[0-9]{1,5})(\\s)(feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|test|chore)((\\([a-z0-9_-]{1,}\\)){0,})(:\\s)([a-z]{1,})",
    "error-message": "Need commit message like: JIRA-12 fix(profile): some text Read Semantic Commit Messages"
  },
  ...

2. Run command npm install pre-commit

📚 How to automate data collection?

With backend

• use module Assayo Crawler;

Without backend

• create a clone of the repository you need;
• copy the build folder to the root;
• open build/index.html in the browser and add it to bookmarks;
• add a shortcut to build/assets/ci-cd.sh to the startup folder (Windows); Every time you restart the computer, the script will update statistics on all the data that automatically merged into the main branch.

🛠️ DevOps (CI/CD)

Public server

You can upload the data file for report construction to a public URL. And use the website’s assayo to visualize it.

https://assayo.online/demo/?dump=//you_site.com/some/log.txt

Private server

• download the docker image;
• run it on your local network;
• use the web interface to view the reports, set the URL of the data in the URL parameter dump:

http://assayo_url/?dump=//you_url/some/log.txt
assayo_url - URL of the assayo container, it listens on port 80;
you_url    - URL of your container with git logs;

By default, the image will run at http://127.0.0.1:80/. If it doesn't work, check if port 80 is free.

How to update the Docker image?

• run npm run build:docker
• run docker build -t assayo .
• visually check the image docker run --name assayo -p 80:80 -d assayo;
• add tag docker tag assayo bakhirev/assayo:latest;
• push image to Docker Hub docker push bakhirev/assayo:latest;

🛠️ ️ About application

📐 Architecture

1. Reports showcase UI displays a list of available reports. Each report consists of a title, description, and a list of repositories.
2. Crawler service collects repository logs for the report.
3. Log visualization UI (you here) displays report. Needs a log file for work.

🈯 How to add or edit a translation?

You can add a new translation or correct an existing one in the ts/translations/ folder. Instruction

🗺️ RoadMap:

Releases are planned approximately once every six months. What’s next:

• more recommendations and achievements;
• annual/monthly summaries, report printing;
• localization and internationalization;
• file analysis;
• different roles for statistics (hiding finances);
• development of the backend, integration with other systems;
