I'm writing a Python script to loop over all Git repositories in a certain folder. Now I want to include the current folder name in the git-log result, but I can't find how to do this in the git-log documentation.

Is there a way to print out a current directory if you execute Git commands against a repository without being in that repository?

My current git-log command looks like this:

git -C ./%s log --pretty=format:-C,'"%%H","%%s"' | grep -E %s >> output.csv

I know I can use both git --git-dir=repo/.git log and git -C /repo log to execute commands in subfolders.

I also tried to use $(basename "$PWD") but it shows the current folder, but not subfolders.

Any idea on how to do this?

From what I understand from your question, you want to add the current git repo name with each line from git log.

Since you tagged Python, this might be a long shot, but you can use GitPython to determine if the subfolders inside a folder are git repositories. Then you can open a git log command with subprocess.Popen(), and print out each line with the repos name from stdout.

Make sure to pip install GitPython before running this code.

Here is an example:

from os import listdir

from os import chdir

from os import getcwd



from os.path import abspath



from git import Repo

from git import InvalidGitRepositoryError



from subprocess import Popen

from subprocess import PIPE



# Current working directory with all git repositories

# You can change this path to your liking

ROOT_PATH = getcwd()



# Go over each file in current working directory

for file in listdir(ROOT_PATH):

    full_path = abspath(file)



    # Check if file is a git repository

    try:

        Repo(full_path)



        # Change to directory

        chdir(full_path)



        # Run git log command

        with Popen(

            args=['git', 'log', '--pretty=format:"%h - %an, %ar : %s"'],

            shell=False,

            stdout=PIPE,

            bufsize=1,

            universal_newlines=True,

        ) as process:



            # Print out each line from stdout with repo name

            for line in process.stdout:

                print('%s %s' % (file, line.strip()))



        # Change back to path

        chdir(ROOT_PATH)



    # If we hit here, file is not a git repository

    except InvalidGitRepositoryError:

        continue

This works for me when I run the script inside a folder with all my git repositories.

Note: There is probably a nicer way to do this with the git command itself or with bash.
