A utility program that extracts the latest git tag name for the current HEAD and its SHA-1 commit id and then recursively replaces all occurences of CVS-like markers in all source code files.
USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
The following markers are supported (case sensitive):
IdName
$Id$ is replaced by $Id: <SHA-1 commit id> $ and $Name$ is replaced by
$Name: <git tag name> $. If no tag is found, then $Name$ is replaced by
$Name: WORKING $.
The file name extensions that are used are loaded from a file named extensions.txt
placed in the same directory with the gitid executable.
If the extensions.txt file is not found, only files with the following extensions
are elligible for keyword substitution:
.adb, .ads, .c, .h, .cpp, .hpp, .cc, .java, .py, .js, .cs, .rc, .xml, .html, .htm, .xhtml
The program has been built and tested under:
- Linux Mint 17.3 32bit using GCC 4.8.4 and libgit2 0.22.0.
- MS Windows using MinGW32 (gcc 4.8.1) and libgit2 0.22.0 (built with VS 2010 Express).
In order to build the program:
- Download and build libgit2 (on Windows, on Linux you can use your package manager to install the library and headers).
- Compile with: gcc -o gitid.exe src\gitid.c src\git_helper.c -I<libgit2_include_dir_path> -L<libgit2_lib_dir_path> -lgit2
For example on Windows:
gcc -o gitid.exe src\gitid.c src\git_helper.c -IC:\projects\libgit2-0.22.0\include -LC:\projects\libgit2-0.22.0\build\Debug -lgit2
And on Linux:
gcc -o gitid src/gitid.c src/git_helper.c -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lgit2
Put it on your system PATH and then call it in the directory where your source code resides.
Each file is read in memory and then written back to disk for each keyword that is searched (currently 2 - Name and Id). This means that
- If something goes wrong it might mess up your source files!!!
- It could be very slow and memory intensive if you have many large files.
