method ParseWeeklyLogText #

ParseWeeklyLogText(String)

Parse the raw output text from git log --since="..." -p and convert it into a sequence of commitEntry objects, one per commit, each carrying its metadata, changed files, diff content and added/deleted line counts.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`text`	`String`	The raw text output from the `git log ... -p` command. Each commit block starts with a line beginning with `"commit "`, followed by author/date/message lines and, when the `-p` option is present, the patch sections starting with `"diff --git a/..."`.

Returns

An IEnumerable sequence of parsed commit entries extracted from the input text.

method ParseCommitBlock #

ParseCommitBlock(String())

Parse a single commit block (an array of text lines) into a commitEntry. The metadata portion (before the first "diff --git" line) is parsed via the existing log.ParseGitLogText() logic, while the patch portion is parsed via the existing diff.ParseDiffText() logic.

method GetWeeklyLog #

GetWeeklyLog(String, String, String)

Run git --no-pager log --since="<since>" -p on the specified repository directory and parse the output into structured commit entries.

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`directory`	`String`	The repository folder path to run the git log command against.
`since`	`String`	The `--since` argument value, e.g. `"1 week ago"`, `"2 days ago"` or a concrete date `"2026-07-29"`. Defaults to `"1 week ago"`.
`git`	`String`	The git executable name or path. Defaults to `"git"`.

Returns

An IEnumerable sequence of parsed commit entries from the last week (or the period specified by since).
