Quickstart

0. Install banana reporter CLI npm i -g bananareporter

1. Create a config file bananareporter.yaml with the sources that you want to fetch

sources:
  - type: 'gitlab'
    committerUsername: usernameOnGitlab
    token: glpat-personalaccesstoken
    # filters:
    #   - on: '$project.path_with_namespace'
    #     regex: '(namespace|anotherone)'
  - type: 'github'
    committerUsername: usernameOnGithub
    # optional, needed for commits on private repositories
    token: personalaccesstoken
    # filters:
    #   - on: 'repository.full_name'
    #     regex: '(namespace|anotherone)'
  # - type: 'todo.txt'
  #   file: './todo.txt'

2. Run the reporter with a date range (ISO8601 date)

bananareporter --from 2023-01-01 --to 2023-03-01 -c bananareporter.yaml

In the current directory you will find the output as bananareporter_$FROM__$TO.json (can be changed with --out)

Example of output (json) with gitlab and github sources:

[
  {
    "date": "2023-01-13T07:51:21.730Z",
    "username": "johndoe",
    "description": "chore: update changelog and swagger branch:work git:aa33b04",

  {
